Animal rights activists are expected to join together today on Western Australia’s Ascot Racecourse in protest of the Melbourne Cup.
Event organiser James Sparrow said protestors want to stand up against the horse racing industry.
He said, “We want to gather together to show our disgust at this event and just demand the industry be thoroughly investigated… eventually we want this industry to be abolished that’s been corrupt and cruel.”
Protests began at the Melbourne Cup parade in Melbourne CBD yesterday.
