Did you have them castrated? Do you pull them around on leashes? clearly they don't have a choice when you train them you treat them as your property and assume power over them so that you have a better life? Do you feel justified in doing this because you feed water and excercise them (like the Romans did to the slaves)? How can you tell you are asking them to do something and not forcing them. Do you think the risk of your dogs ending up with someone who would cause them suffering is an acceptable one just because it means that you have the choice to own an animal to entertain you? Many racehorses don't suffer as your dog doesn't some racehorses do and some dogs do.
I throw a ball, and the dog chases it. It wants to. I don't whip it to coerce it into chasing the ball. And I don't throw the ball into a ditch of over a fence where I know the dog would chase it at risk to its own health. Why run the risk of racing horses over hurdles. Why not just flat? Why not fit them with heart-rate monitors to stop then over-exerting? Why force them to race with whips? |

Well at least you're consistent then. Fair enough. I don't agree with you, but we're all entitled to our own opinion. My personal credo is that I wouldn't inflict on another animal something I wouldn't be happy to accept myself. Personally, I think the lot of a racehorse sounds pretty good compared to the alternative option of not existing at all, so I'm happy with it. Personally, I'd like to see the number of runners decreased, although I'm content with the difficulty of the fences.
Agreed. We all have our opinions. I'm glad to see Aintree changed to make it safer, but clearly still not safe enough (as other courses aren't). |

He makes one or two good points - but some animal fanatics aren't happy unless you wrap your pets up in a wooly fleece and sing them a nursery rhyme before bed

Get back to your Twitter page Aaron. You know your tweeps will be unhappy if you don't feed them their 70,000 tweets a day.

Not long ago, I noticed a woman wiping her dog's arse after it had dropped one. Feckin headcase, she probably read it bedtime stories.

She must just be concerned about what her dog might do to her living room carpet if it goes in, erm, unseen to, Alias.

Why run the risk of racing horses over hurdles. Why not just flat? Why not fit them with heart-rate monitors to stop then over-exerting? Why force them to race with whips? Come on you have just ignored all the pertinent questions I asked you and started talking about throwing a ball. Clearly you are uncomfortable about answering these questions. Saying yes to them doesn't make you a bad dog owner but does make a lot of what you think about horse racing hypocritcical. |

I don't ask my dogs to do anything inherently dangerous. Horse racing over hurdles (and sometimes over flat) is dangerous, or at least increases risk of death. Why inflict that on an animal? And especially why inflict it just for the pleasure of betting?
How can it be justified? |

Being owned by you "Mr Angry" must be dangerous in itself...
