The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has launched a petition to ban sulky racing, which has received almost 2,000 signatures so far.

They have said that sulky racing has long been “tolerated” on Irish roads, but the “consequences are becoming impossible to ignore” as the horses are exposed to dangerous and high-stress situations.

Do you agree?
