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..

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

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
