People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, also formally recognised as PETA, along with support from the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses have filed a case that will challenge the legitimacy of whips in horse racing in Tasmania.
Both groups co-signed a letter with World Animal Protection and Animal Liberation to Tasracing requesting a meeting to discuss the issues and to see if there are alternate ways forward.
The court case currently filed in the magistrates court in Hobart.
