At least 40 protestors gathered outside the Eagle Farm Racecourse yesterday afternoon to draw attention to animal cruelty in the racing industry and the slaughter of racehorses.
The protest was organised by Animal Liberation Queensland in conjunction with the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses.
The protestors showed graphic footage of racehorses being slaughter, and made references to ABC’s 7.30 report ‘The Final race’ which aired in 2019.
The Brisbane protest was one of four protests that took place around the country yesterday to protest the Melbourne Cup.
