Nothing good about horses falling and dying or being whipped until they bleed in the name of sport.

Absolutely. This is a barbaric 'sport'.

I can understand the moral logic of banning the Grand National but I don't think anybody who eats meat, wears leather shoes or uses any product tested on animals should be calling for it to be banned because these are far worse abuses of animal rights.

Horses love to run and jump but cows definitely don't like going to the slaughter house and monkeys definitely don't like spending their life in a cage being experimented on. There are alot of things that would be banned in a perfect world but the Grand National is a long way from the top of that list in terms of total suffering inflicted.

So because there are worse atrocities commited on animals, that means we should overlook the fact that horses die and are whipped in the Grand National, strange logic indeed.


I can't see where anyone said it should be banned,Horses do love to run and jump, but the jumps on the National are ludicroulsy and unnecessarily tall and deep. and jockeys do not need to whip horses like they do.

ComplyOrDie.tv - why reg this?

Moderator - next time you feel the need to add my thread to another - please have the decency to read it first.

NO value in it, just another daft reg IMHO
I normally really enjoy the Grand National but this year i did not (i did not even see my horse during the race, im starting to think he did not turn up!!!)

Im happy though as i won a few $$$$$'s on the roulette last night at the Casino so betting on the horses did not matter too much to me today. Betting on Horse Racing is crazy anyway, far too unreliable unlike football & boxing.

The Grand National winner in the UK was regged within seconds of winning on the co.uk, was already regged years ago on the .com, but, even with the highly charged question and answer session posted by Hulls, not regged on .tv

I was so engrossed in the race and the fact my daughters horse actually won that I never even thought of buying a domain. But if I had, would it really have been worth it?

Is there REALLY a benefit in buying the name of a winning horse that may only race again for another two to three seasons?

Sorry this is a separate thread - but the other one was a bit too off-subject.

By the way - I had a massive problem putting on my bet from Germany to the UK via the internet.

Oh, and the winner was called Comply Or Die - no doubt owned by our very moderators (only kidding - please, please don't ban me)

Seriously though - any value in buying horse winners - it wasn't exactly Seabiscuit.

Stoneroses,

I see, sense and hear a kindered spirit.....anytime you want to develop ANIMALLOVERS.TV with me , it would be my absolute pleasure....

Will never let this name drop

For any racehorse lovers Pred has the most amazing one.
Desert Orchid was probably the most loved horse in the UK, even challenging Red Rum from years ago. imho
God rest their souls

I really must develop this gem DesertOrchid.com

Sorry, but I have no idea what this thread is about? Is there horses in the Idol series with Simon Cowell?

 

[mckennaronnie]

It is about a UK Horse Racing event, biggest race of the year in UK.
I think 2 threads got joined togther though so its all over the place.

"So because there are worse atrocities commited on animals, that means we should overlook the fact that horses die and are whipped in the Grand National, strange logic indeed."

Those are your words, not mine. I'm just pointing out that most people are incredibly hypocritical about animal welfare. They think it's OK to eat meat and use drugs tested on animals provided somebody else inflicted the suffering on the animal but then they pick item number of 9,637 on the list of things that cause most suffering to animals and get on their soap box about it to make themselves feel or look like a good person.

Personally, I would ban the use of the whip but your comments about horses being whipped until they bleed, implying that this is the norm, is an exerageration. British horse racing rules explicitly prohibit use of the whip to the extent of causing injury.

Are you implying that i am saying this " to make myself feel and look good"?, anyone who who knows me, either on this board or in person knows that i do not usually get on my "soapbox" about anything, however this is a subject i care deeply about.

So lets get this straight,just because the rules forbid excessive whipping , it never happens?, i have seen countless riders be banned for excessive whipping and one even got banned for headbutting a horse,( iam sure there must be a rule about this somewhere ) so to say i exagerate is totally inaccurate, it happens and will continue to happen.
The only way to take this out of racing is to take away the whip completely.

I also take offence to the fact that you think that anyone who isn't a vegan and then " gets on their soapbox" about animal welfare is a hypocrite.
Any step that people choose to take which helps animal welfare is a step in the right direction if it's just eating only dolphin friendly tuna, eating free range eggs or choosing not use products tested on animals.

To say that, just because someone eats meat or wears leather is a hypocrite when they complain about an animal being abused is absurd logic imo.

Whether they are vegans or meat eaters people should be able to speak freely about this without fear of being critised and labelled a hypocrite.
Everyone is different and will make the choices THEY choose , not what we want them to do, Vegertarianism is not for some people but it does not mean they have any less rights to complain about animal welfare than veggies do.
Calling people "hypocrites" for caring does not help the cause,it is infact detramental to it,the more people that speak out, the greater the impact and the better chance of stopping this,you can not and should not limit complaining about animal abuse to vegans and then have people who eat meat afraid to say something when they witness it as they will be called a "hypocrite" .
People will make up their own minds about what sacrifices or steps they may do to help.

The whole world will never be vegans or vegertarians so instead of critising people for what they are not doing, try admiring them for what they are doing.


This thread has gone way off. but i could not help but respond on this subject.
