End the bloodsport HORSE FIGHTING

Please sign

Network for Animals: Horse fighting is a callous, brutal, and pitifully outdated form of ‘entertainment’, in which two stallions are forced to kick, bite and maul each other until one submits, flees, or dies. Paraded around the centre of the ring, tied with a rope around her neck is the ‘victors’ prize: The mare. This poor female horse is mounted by each winning stallion: Up to 60 times during a three-day fiesta.

The Filipino bloodsport was made illegal in 1998, but with punishments unconvincingly low, the spectacle is still practiced in many areas of the island of Mindanao in the south of the Philippines
