RACE HORSE DEATH WATCH


I detest Horse racing.. It is a cruel 'sport' ??


Animal Aid's Race Horse Death Watch was launched during the 2007 Cheltenham Festival.

Its purpose is to expose and record every on-course Thoroughbred fatality in Britain.


Racecourses With Highest Number of Deaths in 2014


1. Wetherby 9 deaths

2. Southwell AW 9 deaths

3. Cheltenham 8 deaths

4. Worcester 8 deaths

People will say the horses are bred to run and they enjoy it..


Do they ?? How do you know ? They have no choice..

FFS.


Most suffer a broken leg and are put down to prevent suffering. Much better than the suffering involved in most human deaths from eg cancer.


Until that point they are treated like kings - they are never required to work unlike other horses and are lightly raced to obtain best performance.


Are you trying to piss absolutely everyone off DF.

This is something I feel strongly about..


It's not just a little Poke like posting about some trivial matter..


Are you trying to piss absolutely everyone off DF.


Why would it piss absolutely everyone off. ??


You are assuming that absolutely everyone loves horse racing.

DF, I know you love a good old google

From my understanding a horse has a very strong will and if the horse doesn't want to do something then he won't which would indicate that if the horse runs then he is very happy to do so.


Anyway perhaps the link above will help you get through the Cheltenham festival
