Activists and the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, are urging racegoers to boycott the Launceston cup event this weekend.
On average 299 horses vanish from Tasmanian racing every year, shows research conducted by CPR.
Spokesperson for Direct Action Everywhere, Gabby Knox says, racegoers can no longer claim they don’t know they are supporting cruelty when they go to the races.
