Don't bet on the grandnational. #BanHorseRacing The Grand National meeting in Aintree is a notoriously hazardous three-day event that has killed 38 horses since 2000 #BanHorseRacing Most years during the Grand National, horses have been injured and killed during the 3 day event. #BanHorseRacing In an overcrowded field 40 horses are forced to take 30 challenging & treacherous jumps, over a course of 4-&-a-half miles #BanHorseRacing Grand National has steep drops, ditches and sharp turns. Many of the horses will have encountered nothing like it before #BanHorseRacing because the horses are fine-tuned for speed rather than skeletal strength, they risk fatal injury when they fall #BanHorseRacing Grand National has a horse fatality rate more than five times as high as other jump races in Britain #BanHorseRacing Evidence suggests every year, 100s of horses who don’t pay their way are slaughtered for meat or killed in their yards #BanHorseRacing Don’t bet on the Grand National. Betting income and racecourse attendance fees keep the racing industry in business #BanHorseRacing There is nothing harmless about a race that routinely inflicts serious injury and death upon horses who take part. #BanHorseRacing @ayrracecourse I will not be watching or betting on the Coral Scottish Grand National. @channel4racing I will not be betting on or watching the Scottish Grand National race this year. #BanHorseRacing @channel4 I will not be betting on or watching the Scottish Grand National race this year. #BanHorseRacing Boycott @channel4 for continually covering horse races all over the UK. Stop supporting cruelty #BanHorseRacing #BanHorseRacing Why should horses be hurt and whipped and risk death for our greed and enteraintment? What do the horses get from racing? #BanHorseRacing Horses don't need money. They DO feel pain from the whip, or exhaustion from being pushed too hard. RIP Do it for Dalkey A LOSER SO HIS JOCKEY COULD BE A WINNER http://tinyurl.com/ckjcl9z #BanHorseRacing 15 horses have died at Ayr Racecourse since 2007 - 13 of those were injuries due to falls & slips #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational Minella Four Star,Regal Heights & Nanna Maura are 3 Racehorses who have DIED during ScottishGrandNational #BanHorseRacing #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational @AnimalAid claims The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is"not fit for purpose" #BanHorseRacing BHA "Racing is a sport that carries risk & our role is 2 work w/ racing to minimise the risk that horses face while racing” Racehorses are treated ‘SO WELL’, yet they need a whole Horseracing Authority (BHA) to try keep them safe? #BanHorseRacing CONTRADICTION You bet for a WINNER for the Grand National, you are actually betting on a LOSER. horsesalwayslose #BanHorseRacing The risk of horse fatalities in a steeplechase is around six per 1,000 starts #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational Ayr Racecourse runs downhill to the home turn and then rises to the finish, a run-in of 210 yards. Conditions can get extremely gruelling. #BanHorseRacing #BanHorseRacing The course distance is 4 miles & 110 yards with TWENTY SEVEN fences to be jumped by the horses. ScottishGrandNational ‘On average in the larger jump meetings,such as the 3-day Grand National event,we can expect around three horse fatalities’ #BanHorseRacing Racehorse deaths are NOT freak accidents, they ARE predictable. #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational If the risk to the car driver was same as Grand National – 6 deaths in 1,000-u wld be lucky to still B alive after 6 months’ #BanHorseRacing HORSERACING has a risk that is high and we will never be able to get it down to zero!!! #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational This 'WINNING' racehorse - Do It For Dalkey - lost his life. Is he still a 'winner'? #BanHorseRacing When you bet on a horse, you are betting on whether that horse will still be alive, or injured at the end of the race #BanHorseRacing DON'T bet on horse cruelty-Donate ur $$ instead 2 sanctuaries tht help horses–not 2 an industry that exploits & kills them #BanHorseRacing ENDGrandNational Please consider using your $ to HELP horses rather than bet on their lives! #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational ENDGrandNational It is cruel & unjustified to subject horses to danger for sport and money!! #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational #BanHorseRacing ENDGrandNational If you bet on a horse, you are BETTING ON HIS LIFE. ScottishGrandNational #BanHorseRacing SUPPORT the Sanctuary Not Cruelty scheme! Donate to horse sanctuary rather than their deaths. #BanHorseRacing Horse Races only serves as reminder of the absolute disregard 4 animals & their welfare which some humans seem to have #BanHorseRacing RACE HORSE DEATHWATCH http://www.horsedeathwatch.com/ 948 RaceHorse DEATHS since 2007 #BanHorseRacing There is nothing heroic about forcing horses to gallop round a dangerous course at high speed & risk sustaining painful & fatal falls A major part of horse racing's economic importance lies in the gambling associated with it. PUT THE HORSES FIRST, NOT MONEY #BanHorseRacing #BanHorseRacing RACEHORSES BECOME LOSERS SO WE CAN BE WINNERS. STOP THIS CRUELTY NOW. HORSES ARE NOT OUR TOYS. #BanHorseRacing Is it right that some horses are bred to race & shot dead if they aren't deemed good enough to race? #BanHorseRacing The thrill of horse racing comes FROM THE RISK of the horses galloping round a dangerous course! #BanHorseRacing Racehorses R NOT treated like kings.Kings are not forced 2 jump fences over ditches or slaughtered if they R not good enough #BanHorseRacing feel pain, fear & anxiety. They have not chosen to put themselves at risk on the racecourse #BanHorseRacing More than 400 Horses are raced to death in Britain every year. #BanHorseRacing Horses suffer broken legs, back, neck or pelvis, heart attacks or burst blood vessels on racecourses #BanHorseRacing Race horses are the only animals who can legally be beaten in sport. #BanHorseRacing Insurance policies usually state that racing horses must NOT be ridden offcourse, to minimise risk of injury #BanHorseRacing ScottishGrandNational Stop this cruel race & all races like it!! How many horses have to die for this sick "sport"? #BanHorseRacing One horse killed during a race is one horse too many. Racing has claimed 948 horses in total since 2007. #BanHorseRacing Horses sustain horrible injuries, painful & unjust. They then get put down as they are rendered 'useless'! #BanHorseRacing A bet on a horse, is a bet on his life. #BanHorseRacing If you bet on a horse and that horse dies on course, you have contributed to his death. Can you live with that? #BanHorseRacing You want to see racing and risk SO BADLY go and watch Formula one! The drivers CHOOSE to put themselves in danger. 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
