Many Australians also don’t know about the use of ‘tongue-ties’ – a tight strap that ties a horse’s tongue to their jaw in an attempt to prevent them ‘choking’ or avoiding the bit when it cause discomfort. Tongue ties are uncomfortable and distressing to the horse, are used without any requirement for veterinary diagnosis, and there’s little or no evidence that their use is effective or beneficial. 온라인경마

There is a desperate need to address oversupply issues in the racing industry including by reducing the number of racehorses bred, minimising the risk of injury and for every horse to be provided with a suitable alternative role on retirement. Tens of thousands of Australians rightly expressed their horror at the fate of ex-racing and harness racing horses after a  shocking expose on ABC'S  7.30 in 2019.

The Australian racing industry should provide accurate information about the experience of every racehorse it produces, from birth to death, which is why the RSPCA supports calls for the compulsory collection and publishing of comprehensive life cycle and injury statistics, and the development of a national identification and traceability system for racehorses.
