Rejected petition: Ban horse racing
Rejected on
Time to shut down the horse racing industry. No more races, no more betting.
Because yet again we have seen the depraved indifference to animal welfare, and utter cruelty towards horses at this year's Aintree festival. A horse had its back broken from jumping and the jockey still flogged the poor animal into running until it crossed the finish line.
