Why You Shouldn't Bet On Lives

Two horses were killed at this year's Grand National

20 horses have died on the Grand National course since 2000.

It's not just the Grand National race that claims race horses' lives:

• Out of approximately 18,000 foals who are born into the British and Irish racing industries each year, only 40% will get to the race track. Some of the foals who don't make it are sent to slaughter.
• The horses kept to produce these foals are forced to endure a life of boredom, manipulation using drugs and artificial lighting to control and speed up reproduction, and long periods of isolation. Their misery can go on for more than 20 years.
• For the 7,500 horses who leave British racing every year, the future is often bleak, with few getting the decent retirement they deserve.
• Around 420 horses are raced to death every single year
