Following the Grand National thread,here's one for you.
How many peeps out there think the National should be banned? I do to be honest.
Why does a horse,a peaceful animal, have to be subjected to this type of cruelty in the name of racing?
They are not bred for this. Even a racing horse,jump horse is not bred for this kind of event. Its like the equine equivalent of Wipeout or Takeshi.
Its a disgusting spectacle and I wouldn't shed even a single tear if it was banned.
Same with Crufts. At least the BBC pulled out of that one considering the shameful practices that go on. How can a deformed breed have its own sectio>
What do other people think?
