      The owners saw the 154 course deaths across Britain last year and must have seen that as a challenge.

      ‚But the horses really enjoy it!‘

      Yeah, right up to the moment they fall and have to be shot in the head. They’re so happy to die for the sake of gamblers and bookies making money.

      Fucking barbaric ‘sport’, how can people enjoy watching animals suffer and die for entertainment?

      Definitely nothing highly amoral and dodgy with that amount of money involved in a ‘sport’ relying solely upon the abuse of an animal.

      Fkn stealing a living being the person riding that animal. “Alright, hold on to the reins and whip the fucker when it slows down”.

      Approximately 17.6 million animals are killed each day in the UK for meat.

      You bet they die. Or if they don’t some addicted bloke loses money that means his kids go without.

      Grim.

      Regrettable and it should be investigated to see if it can be avoided in the future but let’s not be a purist and think we can always avoid death.

      People die in motorsports, it doesn’t mean we should ban the sport.

      Although i just took at: https://www.horsedeathwatch.com/#c=3&j=&g=&sd=01/03/2020&ed=&p=1 and i can’t deny that 32 deaths on this course since 2020 is concerning, at that point it seems routine and indicative of a problem.

      I’m seeing a lot of hand-wringing about horse racing in this thread. The thing I find amusing about the opposition to horse racing is that it generally comes from the same people who have an aversion to cars. Y’know, the thing that put an end to horses being used regularly as transportation for thousands of years.

      It makes me wonder, do they think horse-drawn carriages are unethical? I don’t see why they wouldn’t, if they have an issue with horse racing. Were they always unethical, or did the invention of cars make them unethical? Ah, to have vibes-based morality.

      They should make it so the rider and owner of a horse that dies is banned for a set period of time, that way they’d be an incentive for them to take more care.

      „They shoot horses, don’t they?“ Great film.

      Anyway, animals as assets* is just all a bit grim, isn’t it? Stallion syndicates, equine assets, racehorse shares.

      The poor horses just get a bullet to the brain when no longer profitable.

      *yes I know this prompts a whole discussion about animals as things to be consumed

      Anyone who isn’t vegan who is complaining about this should probably reconsider their priorities. 

      You could (weakly) argue that food is a worthier cause than entertainment but I can tell you that horse loved a much, much better life than any farm animal you’ve ever eaten. 

      If you want to be upset at this, that’s absolutely reasonable, but you should also be upset at the treatment of basically all farm animals

      What a shocker! Remember these types are the same twats that illegally go fox hunting every week. Animals are a commodity to be used and discarded for them.
