South Korea Horse Racing Under Fire For Holding Races During Extreme Heat | WION Newspoint

South Korea's horse racing authority is facing criticism after races were held during an intense heatwave, despite temperatures soaring above 35°C and nearing 40°C in some areas. Animal welfare activists have questioned whether climate protection measures for racehorses are being properly enforced, arguing that extreme heat, humidity, and track conditions could pose serious risks to the animals.

The controversy has reignited debate over animal welfare standards in sports, heatwave safety protocols, and whether racing events should be suspended during severe weather conditions. The Korea Racing Authority says it has measures in place to respond to extreme heat, but critics are demanding clearer temperature thresholds and greater transparency.
