This is against those who use horses as inert capital investments and not the living breathing entities they are
This is for those horses abused and thrown away
This is against those who do not apprheciate or respect the living breathing and loving animal
This is for those horses who will never breath again or feel the dew on Spring Grass
Jon says he can understand why people race and watch horses racing, after all he likes the thrill of a good gallup himself !!! but he always struggles with the casualties involved in horseracing, particularly steeplechases.
You make up you mind... where do we draw the line? I think it's all about risk assessments and minimising risk. I do know I saw 3 beautiful racehorses die in one afternoon (which is uncommon) but even an odd one here and there, sets me wondering if its worth it. There again there are historical traditions, and livelyhoods at stake.
It's a big moral minefield. ...I wouldn't race my horse, but I'd certainly gallop through a wood or accross a field with him.......mmmm this is worth some thought
