4 year old stallion Anthony Van Dyck was killed after a catastrophic injury in today's #MelbourneCup, the same injury responsible for nearly 57% of on-track deaths recorded during the 2019-20 racing year.
His deadh wasn't unforseen. Just the cost of doing business.

A public holiday built on pillars of animal cruelty & gambling is no day worth celebrating for me. A day where DV in the home also skyrockets as a direct consequence of gambling. I can’t value a day based on exploiting animals for our entertainment. #MelbourneCup #NupToTheCup

A fish rots from the head. Why isn’t Rio Board being held accountable? The decision to proceed to destroy the significant indigenous heritage site in the Pilbara must have been a strategic decision at board level? A %of revenue of Brockman 4 mine should go to traditional owners

During the bushfires last summer I kept hearing people say that the ABC literally saved their lives, with its comprehensive coverage, updates, advice from RFS on when to evacuate, when to stay & fight. It’s an essential service which needs adequate funding not cuts.

twice a year Taiwan rehearses for a deadly virus coming out of China. When the first reports of coronavirus came out of Wuhan, Taiwan sent experts there because they couldn't trust the Chinese data. They've had just 385 cases for 24m people smh.com.au/world/asia/popula…

Increasingly depressed about the reluctance of Scott Morrison to take serious measures to protect business during the crisis. He will fiddle at the margins, yes, but not take the kind of serious action other countries took days ago. Hundreds of thousands will pay a high price.

Our latest investigation reveals once again the harsh suffering and cruelty in live animal shipments.
We bore witness of the animals arriving at Eilat from Australia on a ship of shame Maysora, in the last week of 2019.
Blind, weak, limping and dying calves and many dead bodies
