The Grand National, one of the world’s most famous horse races, was delayed Saturday after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of Aintree racecourse and got onto the track.
Some affixed themselves to the race fences using glue and lock-on devices, according to the Animal Rising organization, before being taken away by police and security officials. A total of 118 people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and public nuisance offenses in a bid to disrupt the race, Merseyside Police said.Many activists from an estimated group of 300 climbed the high fences around the racecourse just outside Liverpool and got onto the track a few minutes before the race was scheduled to start.The day started with three people arrested in connection with a plan by the activists to disrupt the race.
An Animal Rising activist has said they planned to disrupt the Grand National, arguing that standing outside and handing out fliers “never stopped anything.”Hill Sixteen was in the field for the Grand National and died after sustaining an “unrecoverable injury,” organizers said.
