Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will see Nup to the Cup protests today against the horse racing industry. 

The Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses (CPR) alongside a number of animal justice foundations have organised protests at track gates around the country.

The CPR Campaign Director Elio Celotto says quote, “The Nup to the Cup movement is growing stronger each year because the racing industry has proven time and time again that they only care about maximising profit, not horses". 

Members from the CPR and PETA protested at Flemington yesterday dressed in Squid Game costume. A spokesperson from PETA says the demonstration was trying to draw a comparison between the plot of the show and the way horses are treated in the industry.
