Five horses already have been killed in the days leading up to this year’s #KentuckyDerby — and it’s time for officials to take immediate action before any more defenseless #horses die!

Sign our petition urging #ChurchillDowns to thoroughly investigate these horse deaths, as well as the trainers and jockeys using this track, and to swiftly implement measures to save future horses.

Lady FreethinkerSIGN: Justice For Horses Tragically Killed For Kentucky DerbySign our petition urging an immediate investigation into the brutal deaths of five horses in a week at Churchill Downs.

Show Us Plenty was the 13th (!) racehorse to die on the tracks in Aotearoa this year. He was only 4 and was euthanised at Ashburton Racecourse earlier this month after he broke his humerus during a race.

You won't have read about his death in the mainstream media or even on NZ horse-racing society's website or social media.

According to the Coalition For The Protection Of Racehorses, deaths (most of which are thousands of horses per year, deemed unsuitable or not suitable anymore for racing) are under-reported. Retirement plans are rare, and horses in activity suffer from extremely intensive training and barbaric techniques such as whips, electric shocks or tongue ties.
