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

    • The Sky article says the manager has apologised. Apparently, according to the article the person who said they'd apply on Rachel and her husband behalf left and didn't hand the job on. Here's the article https://news.sky.com/story/politics-latest-reeves-rent-mistake-labour-starmer-asylum-budget-tax-farage-reform-12593360?postid=10440668#liveblog-body
    • Or another thing journalists could do if they wanted to is unearth how many reform or Tory MPs are landlords with similar or worse errors   
    • I'm utterly baffled as to why anybody thinks this is newsworthy, let alone worth a front page. The economy has barely grown for 20 years and the housing crisis has been worsening for a similar time period. Note to any journalists on the forum: maybe focus your headlines on important issues.
    • Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
