Cruel Horse-Diving Shows Cancelled in USA
Published on Saturday, February 18, 2012 in General
PETA have reported that after hearing from thousands of animal advocates, the owners of Atlantic City's Steel Pier have canceled their plans to hold horse-diving shows, in which horses would be marched up a narrow ramp and out onto a platform and then forced to jump, plummeting many feet into a pool below. Horses used for this horrific form of entertainment often suffer terrible injuries including bone fractures, internal organ damage, bruising, and leg, spine, and other injuries.
