Here are some things they don't tell you about the Melbourne Cup.

Did you know that in the past decade, 7 innocent racehorses have died in the Melbourne Cup? These horses are dying for our pure entertainment, and it has to stop now.

By the end of the race, horses are bleeding from the mouths, suffering from excessive whipping and careless riding. Do you want this to continue?

By signing this petition, you will be stopping racehorses being treated cruelly and unjustly, and, in some instances, death. Together, we can stop this appalling tradition.

But I'll leave this final question down to you.

Do you support animal cruelty?
