Animal rights activists disrupt Grand National race, leading to over 100 arrests.

More than 100 people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and public nuisance offenses after animal rights activists scaled fences around the perimeter of Aintree racecourse and got onto the track, delaying the Grand National horse race. The activists 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. The Grand National is regarded as one of the most dangerous horse races in the world because of the size of the fences, and changes were made in 2012 to make the course safer.
