Officials have criticised the “horrific abuse” of an animal seen being “whipped aggressively” as three horse-and-carts were raced on a motorway.
Shocking footage shows three riders racing along Ireland's M3 motorway between Dublin and Meath.
The video, filmed from a car following behind the horse-and-carts, has been widely shared on social media, with witnesses encouraged to contact Gardai by an animal rights group.
