Ban Sulky Trotting Says Irish Animal Welfare Organisations
Sulky trotting on public roads needs to be banned, says Irish animal welfare organisations.
This illegal practice involves a horse or pony pulling a small cart and trotting or racing on public roads has led to numerous incidents of injury and death to animals.
A recent incident in Clonmel town, Co. Tipperary saw a horse being killed as a result of a collision between a sulky and a vehicle.
To raise aware of this issue, a national protest walk will take place in Clonmel. Co. Tipperary on Saturday, 11th April at 3pm.
Tipperary County Council members, Cllr Micheál “Chicken” Brennan (Labour) and Cllr Liam Browne (Independent) working with the My Lovely Horse Rescue animal rescue charity have organised the event to draw attention to the increasing dangers associated with sulky running on public roads.
