Ban Jumps Racing in Victoria
Target:
Victorian Minister For Racing - The Honourable Rob Hulls
Sponsored by:
Another horse was fatally injured at a jumps race this month. It is time to stop this type of race. In Victoria, this year 11 horses have being killed through jumps/hurdling races. It is dangerous not only for the jockey, but for the horse. Horses are at risk of serious injury or death. It is also distressing for the public to watch a horse being put down on the track.
So it is to ask the Minister for Racing to ban jumps racing in Victoria.

Dear Minister
We the petition signers would like to urge you to consider the following before making a decision on Jumps Racing in Victoria. Thank you for your concern and in taking action to review Jumps Racing in Victoria.Please suspend Jumps Racing in Victoria, immediately so as to prevent further deaths and injuries.The 11 deaths this year prove that changes to the hurdles are having little effect and horses are still at high risk of injury and death. The only change that will work is to have jumps racing banned.

Yet again the quest for self gratification, has resulted in the horse riden by Zara Phillips, (Royal) being 'put down'. Cross country eventing, along with racing hurdles and jumps, is a killer of horses. When will the attitude towards the horse being regarded as 'disposable', end?

Racing horses at break neck speed over high jumps is a death sentence for horse and/or rider. If 11 RIDERS were killed people would panic and ask for this to be stopped imeadatly. When 11 HORSES are killed people shrug and act as if that is "normal." Why is this "normal" in our lives? Are the lives of beings other then ourselves worth so little? I don't think so and neither do the hundreds of people who signed this petition. |

Please MrHull ban jump racing. It is so heart braking to see those beautiful horses die, just so some people can make money and bet on horses. Please take a stance and say NO to jump races.
