Horse racing is a cruel "sport" and should be made completely illegal!

The "sport" of horse racing shouldn't even exist. Animals do not exist to entertain us or for us to bet on; they should be treated with respect. A whole industry exists around pushing these horses to their limits and beyond, often resulting in injured and dead horses and it has to stop. Sign the petition if you want to see the U.S. ban horse racing altogether!

In 2021 alone, there were hundreds of horse racing injuries and deaths. Many times those injuries and premature deaths come from horses being given drugs to enhance performance, or to run with injuries they already sustained and desperately need to recover from. Another reason for the injuries is blood doping, which is injecting oxygenated blood into an animal before a race to improve performance. The practice raises the risk of serious health complications like blood clotting and 30 people were indicted on charges of running horse blood doping rings. 

The horses involved have no choice in the matter. They are bred, trained, and raced into the ground and it's wrong. Sign the petition to ban the industry entirely.
