Stop the Grand National and all other horse races

What the petition asks
For the past few years, the Grand National races have resulted in many horse fatalities. This is upsetting to see and hear about and can be avoided in the future by banning all horse racing.
Today (06.04.19), another horse was killed after racing in the Grand National which shouldn't of happened but it did. This can be avoided in the future by having horse racing banned. Every year there is a fatality of a horse when racing in the Grand National and it is truly heartbreaking.
