8yr old Yes Sir Colonel collapsed & died at Parx Racetrack. Not only does video footage depict Yes Sir “acting up” in the gate but also the jockey administering 3 whip strikes immediately prior to his collapse. #EndAnimalCruelty #AnimalRights #ParxRacing www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bft...

Cardinale was only 4yrs old.
His fall caused chaos, unseating 3 jockeys & forcing other horses to swerve to avoid his broken body. While the injured jockeys made headlines, Cardinale’s death, like so many others, was swept under the rug. 💔🐴🕯️

The entire chart note for Billy the Greek at Mountaineer: “Billy the Greek pulled up in the stretch, was euthanized on track.” And that is that. Next “equine athlete” up. Billy was four; it was his 16th time under the whip. #EndAnimalCruelty

💔🕯️Two more dead horses in a single day — horseracing kills, from coast to coast. #HorseracingKills
From Saratoga to Del Mar – two of the most “prestigious” racing venues in America – the killing is nonstop.

This, Too, Is Horseracing:
The following horses were scratched by the regulatory vet (i.e., their exploiters had every intention of racing them) at Ellis over just 3 days (Aug 11-Aug 17) for being “unsound” #EndHorseracing #HorseracingKills ❌🏇❌🏇❌🏇❌

In what other “sport” are the athletes
kept in intensive, solitary confinement for over 23 hours a day?
led around by lip chains & controlled with metal bits?
whipped for motivation?
routinely dying on the playing field?
Over 1,800 horses are killed at US tracks every year. #EndHorseracing

3yr old Parlay for Destiny finished over 103 lengths behind. But because he crossed the finish line, his owner & trainer still profited $200, thanks to Delaware’s taxpayer-subsidized racing industry. There is no excuse for #AnimalAbuse

This isn’t freak accident. It’s not “unfortunate.” It’s standard operating procedure. From fractured bones to internal hemorrhaging, from injuries in “training” to deaths on the track — this is what horseracing is. #EndHorseracing
