Lower the jumping posts in any horse racing event (such as the Grand National)
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
Every year we see on social media that more and more horses have died due to horse racing events such as the Grand National. How about we get the jumping posts lowered to try and stop these unnecessary deaths of the beautiful animals! We need at least 10,000 signatures for this to be seen!
I’ve done some background checks and seen many petitions that have failed to get the Grand National banned, so how about we take a different approach to this and get the jumping posts lowered to help lower the number of deaths to these animals.
