[Animal News]How many innocent horses are killed for the desire of some people to gamble? After the horse “Light of Civilization” fell to the ground and died of a heart attack on July 1, two more horses died in the race yesterday. “Everyone Happy” was humanely destroyed due to a broken foot, while “Master” was suspected of having a heart attack Suddenly, 3 horses lost their lives in just 5 days. NPV executive chairman Mak Chi-ho thinks that the Jockey Club should review, including too frequent races and strict physical examination for horses before races. Many horse fans also commented on the Internet that the Jockey Club should suspend the race early to let the horses feel the heat in the hot weather.
There were two fatal accidents of horses at Happy Valley Racecourse yesterday. First, “Everybody’s Happy” broke his leg in the middle of the race and was humanely destroyed on the spot. Afterwards, “Master” fell to the ground following crossing the finish line, suspected of having a heart attack. When the “Horse Racing” Facebook page reported the two accidents, it also pointed out that the recent races were too dense and the weather was sweltering, so many accidents happened to people and horses.
Mak Chi Ho stated on his page that 3 horses died unexpectedly within 5 days, and the Jockey Club must seriously review it. The first is that the races are too frequent. From last Wednesday to yesterday, 4 race days were arranged, which is unprecedented. The second is that the Jockey Club should strictly conduct physical examinations for horses before racing, and prohibit sick horses from racing.
