the grand national is a cruel and inhumain race.Help us to stop the appallingly high death rate.
Horses used for racing are whipped to run and jump at a neck-breaking pace. Those who don't suffer heart attacks, or sustain horrific injuries when they crash face first into the track- may develop debilitating medical conditions, including bleeding lungs and gastric ulcers. Treated like wind-up toys – their fragile limbs pushed to sometimes beyond breaking point – many horses sustain fractured legs or necks. Every year, hundreds of horses die on British racetracks. The Horses are sometimes drugged to mask pain and keep them running when they should be resting or receiving treatment. Raced too young and too hard, when their bones are not up to the pounding and stress, horses used in racing endure injuries, lameness and exhaustion.

its absolutely disgusting that we still allow this to happen just for peoples entertainment. those poor animals dont have a choice in any of it.
No go
This is total cruel exploration of horses. No jockey should be allowed in the saddle if they can't tell when the horse is lame or totally exhausted..they lack basic experience.. Ban this horrible money making so called sport...
This race is absolutely barbaric and has to be stopped right now, money and greed is the only relevance.
Racing yes, jumping & whipping NO.
Its too cruel
It's cruel, and people supporting this should be ashamed of themselves.
