Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, a racetrack and casino in New Orleans, is planning to hold zebra and ostrich races on January 12.
These terrified animals are subjected to rough handling amid chaos and screaming crowds and are ridden by jockeys who force them to race around a track. As a result, many of the animals suffer from fear, stress, physical discomfort, and sometimes serious injuries.
Terrified zebras and ostriches need YOUR voice!
Please urge Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots management to cancel these cruel races and replace them with a humane alternative!

this is ridiculous. why would anyone want to even watch this? people have so many other means of gambling. why don’t they just play a slot machine? you don’t have to bet on animals frigging racing to get you’re stupid gambling fix. get it somewhere else and leave these poor defenseless animals alone!
