5yo Chorlton Lane was killed this Saturday at Caulfield, VIC, after his front leg snapped in half during the race. He started racing when he was only two years old and had already won over $700,000 for his owners.
Please say #nuptothecup this spring racing carnival. #horseracingkills.

I know we can't hide from these graphic videos that show the reality of racing, I don't support racing at all. But it would be lovely if y'all could put a "graphic content" warning on videos like this, as some days people (me included) don't have the mental capacity to cope effectively with seeing animals hurt like this. I'm not saying don't post, I think it's so, so important, but a warning on the actual video before it plays would be greatly appreciated. And potentially an audio warning in case there are small children using a parents phone that shouldn't see this.

Racehorses also have the best care in the world and are very very well looked after while racing and after racing

@horseracingkills anyone that supports horse racing should be made to race and whipped. I cannot believe this barbaric practice still exists. It’s pure evil.

Fat out, I was in a pub the other week and I happened to look up at the screen, something similar happened. There was no replay or mention of it, panned to other horses - disgraceful

Note how there isn’t a moment of hesitation or shock from the commentator. Because this is just par for the course.
