Target: Andrew Jones, Racing Victoria CEO, Australia
Goal: Ensure those allegedly involved in animal cruelty face legal consequences
In a disturbing revelation, it has come to light that individuals linked to the racing industry allegedly used electric shock devices, known as jiggers, on horses. This act, reportedly committed on the eve of the 2018 Melbourne Cup carnival, has ignited a wave of outrage. The accused include a Melbourne Cup-winning trainer, who, along with two associates, allegedly subjected three horses to this cruel treatment.
Details emerging from the investigation describe the use of jiggers on Yogi, Red Cardinal, and Tosen Basil during treadmill runs. Such actions not only violate ethical standards but also betray the trust placed in these individuals by the public and the animals in their care. This alleged mistreatment was brought to attention after a 15-minute clip, utilized in legal proceedings, prompted Racing Victoria to levy 10 new industry charges against each of the accused, encompassing corrupt conduct and animal cruelty.
The necessity for a resolute stance against such alleged cruelty cannot be overstated. These actions, if proven, not only tarnish the reputation of the racing industry but also highlight a grave disregard for animal welfare. Racing Victoria must take decisive action to ensure that anyone found guilty of such conduct faces appropriate legal repercussions. Uphold the integrity of the sport and take the welfare of the animals involved seriously.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CEO Andrew Jones,
The recent allegations involving the use of electric shock devices on horses within your jurisdiction have caused considerable concern among the public and animal welfare advocates alike. The individuals allegedly involved, who are no strangers to the racing world, reportedly engaged in acts of cruelty that must not go unpunished. These serious accusations necessitate prompt and decisive action from Racing Victoria to uphold the principles of fairness, integrity, and compassion within the racing community.
As stewards of this revered sport, it is incumbent upon you to ensure that such alleged abuses are met with appropriate legal and professional consequences. The alleged use of jiggers on horses Yogi, Red Cardinal, and Tosen Basil represents a blatant disregard for animal welfare and the ethical standards that Racing Victoria is expected to enforce. The industry’s governing bodies must demonstrate an unwavering commitment to justice and the protection of all participants, both human and animal.
We urge you to take immediate action to investigate these allegations thoroughly and to ensure that those found responsible are held accountable. The trust of the racing community and the public at large in your ability to maintain the integrity of the sport is at stake. Only through decisive action can we hope to restore faith in the racing industry’s commitment to fairness, ethics, and the welfare of the majestic animals that lie at its heart.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Some one needs to stick one of those electric shock devices on those stupid humans! Anyone that can use any device to inflict pain on an animal is disgusting! They have no love for that animal or any animal!
Horse racing is barbaric. It is disgusting.
To bad the jockeys couldn’t be shocked; it might change their attitudes.
Agree with you, cruel and evil
EXACUTE THESE LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS PRAY TO GOD THEY DON’T HAVE CHILDREN YOU TREAT AN ANIMAL LIKE THIS YOU WILL TREAT YOUR CHILD IN THE SAME MANNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What they did to these horses is unthinkable and they need severe punishment for their actions. The poor horses are helpless against these low life jerks!!
You wanna race horses? Put some soft rope around their jaw jump on their back and run. A healthy horse loves it and for you there is no other feeling like it. I know. All other forms of racing include animal abuse and it needs to end.
I volunteer to shock the he pieces of shit that do that to the horses.
STICK AN ELECTRIC SHOCK DEVICE UP THE RIDERS ASS AND SEE HOW FAST HE MOVES!! OR SHOCK HIS FUCKING NUTS AND THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO. THESE FUCKING BASTARDS NEED TO FALL FROM THE HORSES AND RUN OVER UNTIL THE FUCKING RIDER IS DEAD!!!
And i would join you!!
Death penalty for animal abusers
Do the same thing to them!! They are cold and cruel greedy people!
FAR TO MANY SO-CALLED HUMANS ARE REALLY F*CKING BASTARDS!
No animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS! Torturing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
STOP THIS ABOMINATION!
The horse racing industry needs to be banned forever!
It is nothing but a money making industry by greedy people, that is vile and cruel to the horses.
The perpetrators rarely get punished.
BAN HORSE RACING!
Absolutely agree! Horse racing is brutal. The horses are used & abused. They are raced when they are young & damage to tendons, ligaments & joints are common place, not to mention bones that break. THEN if they don’t win enough $$ they are sold for slaughter. People call racing a “sport”. I call it animal abuse. It should be banned world-wide.
ONLY TRULY BARBARIC SOULLESS BASTARDS would treat horses or any animal so despicably…. all for self serving monetary gain.
These excuses for humans need to be banned from the Racing Industry and held accountable by law.
SHUT DOWN THE RACING INDUSTRY IN ITS ENTIRETY! IT IS ANIMAL ABUSE!!
LET THEM ALL FEEL THE SHOCKS OF ELECTRIC DEVICES!
Agree all comments do it back to those who do it and ban from being with animals
Each & every CRUEL and ABUSIVE JOCKEY WHOM IS CRUELLY AND ABUSING ANY OF THESE RACE HORSES DESERVE THE EXACT JUSTICE!!!!! STOP ALL THIS ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
I agree with everything said and yes give the jockey the electric shock treatment alongside the person who has been doing this, and see if it improves their performance! Close these places down.
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Hooves Matter
