RACE HORSE DEATH WATCH


I detest Horse racing.. It is a cruel 'sport' ??


Animal Aid's Race Horse Death Watch was launched during the 2007 Cheltenham Festival.

Its purpose is to expose and record every on-course Thoroughbred fatality in Britain.


Racecourses With Highest Number of Deaths in 2014


1. Wetherby 9 deaths

2. Southwell AW 9 deaths

3. Cheltenham 8 deaths

4. Worcester 8 deaths

People will say the horses are bred to run and they enjoy it..


Do they ?? How do you know ? They have no choice..

FFS.


Most suffer a broken leg and are put down to prevent suffering. Much better than the suffering involved in most human deaths from eg cancer.


Until that point they are treated like kings - they are never required to work unlike other horses and are lightly raced to obtain best performance.


Are you trying to piss absolutely everyone off DF.

This is something I feel strongly about..


It's not just a little Poke like posting about some trivial matter..


Are you trying to piss absolutely everyone off DF.


Why would it piss absolutely everyone off. ??


You are assuming that absolutely everyone loves horse racing.

DF, I know you love a good old google

From my understanding a horse has a very strong will and if the horse doesn't want to do something then he won't which would indicate that if the horse runs then he is very happy to do so.


Anyway perhaps the link above will help you get through the Cheltenham festival

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
