Grand National Horse Racing Protest – Cardiff

Sat 14th April, 2018 @ 14:30 - 17:15

Please join us for a peaceful protest against the cruel ‘sport’ of horse racing.

Around 200 horses die each year as a result of racing in Britain with a lot more suffering from painful injuries. 25 horses have been killed so far this year with 6 killed at the recent Cheltenham festival.

Trainers claim that they care about the horses and look after them well but still let the horses race in muddy unsafe conditions over really high fences, horses often suffer broken legs and other injuries from the landing and often pile up after jumping a fence.

We will be outside 2 bookmakers that are opposite each other on St John street in the city centre for a few hours before the 5:15 start of the biggest race on the biggest day in the horse racing calendar to raise awareness of the cruelty and death suffered by the horses and to urge the public to think twice about supporting horse racing.

Please bring placards and we will have plenty of leaflets to hand out
