Background

We believe animals are not here for our entertainment and betting on them can lead to cases of abuse. They deserve better protection.

Additional details

Both dogs and horses are used as products and not beings. We consider the exploitation of animals for betting to be immoral and unnecessary and could destroy the lives of innocent animals - let them live in peace.
