How Many horses will DIE in todays race in the name of enjoyment
|
By:
here's some stats 100% of all animals will die.
the only thing your conscience needs to worry about is what was their life like up until that point. racehorses have a very decent life. |

OP
Just go away and post on the RSPCA forum This is a forum for folks who enjoy the sport of horseracing and like a bet |

Animal Aid and the BBC will be delighted if there's a pile up.

By:
Very true NG, its the animal rights campaigners who are hoping for deaths of horses today, so that they, can kick up a fuss.

looks like he joined the forum on national day last year...wish they'd shoot all these animal aid/rspca creeps....i decided some time ago never to donate to rspca a bunch of leftie terrorists.

So in your opinion the fatality rate in a normal long distance race is acceptable but it isn't in the National? How do you come to this view and how can you criticise others for thinking the rate in the National is acceptable when there will be those who think any risk is too high and disagree with you on the risk in normal races?
|

By:
There is unlikely to be any immediate changes to the race but perhaps they could keep the fences and not allow the public to actually see the horses jump the fences. They do this very effectively at Cartmel and it only distracts from the racing in a minor way

By:
Not acceptable but a lot better than the National fences

Perhaps the National could be run at Portman Park next year to appease the RSPCA.

Is it right that we use defencless stupid low intelligence animals for our own enjoyment and amusement ?
|
|
By:
shut up you boring bastud, haven't you had enough attention yet?
|
|
By:
Assuming you disagree with the whole idea of domestic animals being considered property then and don't just have an issue with racehorses or are you one of these people who owns 5 cats for your enjoyment?

It is those poor lowly intelligent beings that I feel for. They have no idea that their exertions are purley for the entertainment of others, can this be right ?

Of course the OP has a perfectly valid point of view, but of course it is a view that would only be met with abuse and lack of real logic on this forum - For the simple reason that it goes against the wishes of most who post on here. I'm a gambler myself, and on horses, but I'm not going to pretend I don't feel uneasy about fatalities in racing. This race simply emphasises that particular problem with racing, and to pretend it doesn't is putting your head in the sand.

it can't be right that some people were given brains only to use them for posting shiite on forums Olias.
|
|
By:
Go down your local abattoir and you can see loads of ex racehorses dying in desparation, despair and cruelty, if you have a concience donate to greatwood etc otherwise celebrate life
|
|
By:
But Christy, should we allow the enjoyment of even one person to be at the expense of lowly untelligent beings. Is it not exploitation
|
|
By:
the event should be modified to reduce any likelihood of deaths, likewise i think use of the whip (or excessive use) should be looked at and tightened
there should be no joy in seeing horses injured - however with folk who arent interested in racing there does sometimes seem an agenda , whereas they will think nothing of tucking into a meat meal where the animal is kept in inhumane conditions |
|
By:
Please answer my question Olias since you wanted a reasonable discussion.

Olias- Most of us on here will be gutted if a horse dies today. Gitted for the horse,the connections and as I assume most of us will question our love of the sport. You however want there to be a death to prove you right, you do not care about these horses, and why should you?
Last years GN really upset me but on reflection I still support the race. We follow these horses through the years and the reality is that if the GN goes then it will spiral down to all NH Racing ( there is a debate on BBC1 at 10 am tomorrow). I have argued this point on Twitter with these so called animal lovers, one who said a horses life was as important as a childs life. Another who wanted this race in PARTICULAR banned, Basically all racing but let us start with this one. |

By:
Looks like you joined just in time last year to make comments on the GN. From your comments I would conclude that the horses are certainly more intelligent than you.

wHO REALLY CARES HOW MANY HORSES DIE ?
You may be shocked for a couple of hours after the race if a few die, but you wont be mourning them next fookin week, where as you might a family member or good friend. Horses are dying everyday, humans too if you hadn't noticed. Working dogs die, cattle die, bees are dying, Fish are dying. What seems to be growing is Iriot People who want life to be surrounded with Health and safety procedures and no accidents or risks involved. |

By:
But guys should I be using low life unintelligent beings purely for my own enjoyment and amusement, is it right ?
|
|
By:
Yes the law and customs of the entire western world has been based on that premise for centuries.

An excellent post earlier from Jezebel.
