"Show Us Plenty" was the thirteenth racehorse to die on the tracks in Aotearoa this year. He was only four-years-old and was euthanised at Ashburton Racecourse earlier this month after breaking his humerus during a race. His death was not reported by mainstream media, nor was he mentioned on NZ Thoroughbred Racing's social media.
According to the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses and other advocacy groups, horse deaths in the racing industry are grossly under-reported. These victims deaths must not be overlooked; we want each victim to be remembered and recognized for the individual that they were. Show Us Plenty was not a commodity, or a piece of sports equipment. He suffered tremendous pain before he was killed. He deserved better. His stable name was Red.
Please boycott horse racing as well as all other forms of animal exploitation, and join us to spread awareness about this abusive industry.
