We are joined by a local campaigner from the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, Elio Celotto, to discuss the inherent issues with horse racing and what we can do about it. In Australia, we are days away from the Melbourne Cup, a 3200 m race where horses are often pushed to physical exhaustion or injury by being forced to race.
You can find out more about the campaign at the website - https://www.horseracingkills.com/ and check out upcoming events at their Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/coalitionfortheprotectionofracehorses/.
