Jumps racing death files

Jumps racing death files

Jumps racing is a dangerous 'sport' for horses. Only Victoria and South Australia allow jumps racing: other States no longer conduct jumps racing due to the high risk of injury and death to the horses. Every year horses fall, sustain horrible injuries and are killed on the Victorian and South Australian racing tracks.

Whilst both Governments and industry bodies are fully aware of the inherent risk of the 'sport' they deem it acceptable in name of 'spectacular' entertainment. The horses listed below weren't asked for their consent and have now been forever silenced.

Apart from the horses listed here, many other horses get injured on the race tracks or simply fail to win races, and are withdrawn from competition. These horses are rarely offered 'retirement', but instead go to an abattoir or knackery.

As long as jumps racing is allowed to exist, the number of dead horses will continue to climb.
