Vote Now - Jumps Racing Under Pressure

The appalling start to the jumps racing season has at least attratced some media attention, with both The Age and The Herald Sun online covering the rapidly increasing number of horses who have died so far this season - and that's four horses dead in four days. I have previously blogged about flat racing here and here, and Pip has written "Ponies Aren't Playthings".

Each newspaper is also running a poll and a 'your say' section. I urge you to add your voice to ban jumps racing. The links are below. There are some graphic images so be warned.
