Perth, WA: Melbourne Cup Protest at Ascot

Say ‘NUP to the CUP’ and join us to protest outside Ascot Racecourse on the 7th November.

With eight on-track deaths in the last decade, Melbourne Cup is no cause for celebration. Behind all glitz, glamour, day drinking and gambling is a barbaric industry where horses endure whips, tongue ties and bits, forced to race beyond their limits.

With an on-track fatality every two days, and thousands more horses sent to knackeries annually across Australia, it’s time to end the animal cruelty and ban horse racing.

Please dress smart-casual – dressing up is encouraged.
Come prepared for the weather – bring a hat, sunscreen and water.
Meet on the corner or Raconteur Dr (near gate 6) at 9am or find us opposite Gate 4 or 6 if arriving late.
Signs and banners provided.
