Grand National Protest

Sat 9th April, 2016 @ 10:30 - 14:00

You Bet The Die Grand National Protest

Every year around 420 horses are raced to death in Britain, and thousands more are killed for meat.

Horses are abused by trainers and others in order to make them run as fast as possible, no matter the consequences to their health and happiness.

38 horses have died at Aintree since 2007.

Please DO NOT bet on animals’s lives. Betting income and racecourse attendance fees keep the racing industry in business.

Join the protest on Saturday 9 April at Aintree Racecourse, at the bottom of the walkway to Aintree Station, to show your opposition to the most notorious race in the country: the Grand National.


See also Animal Aid horse racing campaign pages and the list of all the horses killed at Aintree and other race courses since 2007 at Race Horse Death Watch.


Nottingham Animal Rights are holding a Grand National Stall on Thursday 7th April,  from 6:30pm outside Ladbrokes in Market Square and on Saturday 9th April will support the Grand National day of action with a protest from 1:00pm. Bring flyers, posters. If you’d like to order Animal Aid’s Sanctuary Not Cruelty leaflets to hand out in your town centre, please email Animal Aid.
