Let's Put an End to Horse Fighting
Target:
The Government of the Philippines and the Mayor of Davao City
Sponsored by:
Several groups are actively campaigning to stop the barbaric practice of horse fighting. In this cruel practice, that some actually call sport, horses are corralled and forced to fight each other. The horses suffer severe injuries and do not receive any veterinary care. Often, horses that are badly injured (or killed) during the fight are slaughtered and fed to the crowd: Watch
Children are allowed to watch this barbaric practice, that passes for family entertainment in some parts of the world. In the Philippines laws exist to protect animals against this type of cruelty. However, despite this, the practice continues, with officials turning a blind eye and even offering prize money in some cases. Some of these events are even televised.
As human beings we have a duty of care to the animals that we take responsibility for. Several animal welfare groups are campaigning to end the brutal practice of horse fighting. The WSPA is asking people like you and I to support their efforts by writing to embassies of the Philippines in our respective countries.

We the undersigned believe horse fighting and the inhumane slaughter of horses is cruel and therefore unacceptable. We are disappointed that the Philippines animal welfare legislation is not being upheld, allowing these illegal fights to continue.
We will not consider visiting the island of Mindanao or encouraging others to do so until the laws preventing horse fighting are fully enforced. We would like to know what the government of the Philippines intends to do to address this issue?
Thank you for taking the time to read this short letter. We look forward to hearing news of your response to our concerns.

This is a barbaric action. Horse fighting is cruel and sick. Why should any animal be used for violent entertainment. What sick mind thinks of these things?

I believe this is cruel all horses ever want to do is love us and give us their backs, this is how we repay them. This make me not want to be apart of the human race. I am ashamed. I will do whatever it takes to stop this. First we FORCE them into battles and not THIS! We in America are not much better, what with our pit-bull fighting, chicken fighting, etc. We should ALL be ashamed.

You are acting like an uncivilised nation that has no morals or self respect. Ghandi said that the greatness of a nation and their morals are judged by the way they treat their animals. This say a whole lot for your country and your people.
