Does anyone else feel like i do??

Question

I just saw that a beautiful horse had to be put down after the Kentucky Derby..to broken ankles. such a beautiful animal. For me i hate any kind of race be it horses, dogs or cars in the name of makin money. Especially horses and dogs.. they are driven to make it to the top and when arent good they kill them.. Horses so majestic and beautiful shouldnt be treated this way.. Jokey's on their backs .. them beating them with that crop makin them go faster. To me that is cruel and so inhumane.

Just wondered if anyone out there felt as i do..Thanks..

Answer 1

I feel exactly like you do.

Answer 2

I feel the same way you do!Horse Racing is sick and it really sucks that the poor horses are put through this horrible treatment.It's just all full of selfish rich people who only care about their money and what they can make off of the horses.Horses are beautiful creatures and they deserve to be treated better.Horse racing should be banned!

Answer 3

I agree, that was really sad

Answer 4

its a sad thing kitty....but if a horse breaks a fetlock..the most humane thing to do is to put them down...they are not like humans..there is no way to repair the damage....seamanab xx

Answer 5

It's just another way for pretentious rich people to make sure the world knows that they think they are better than the rest of us. It's just a way for them to flaunt their hideous hats, clothes and money.

Some of those people should be put down.

SICK

Jenefer Jeter does.

I do not

Answer 11

i feel the same way too. animals shouldn't be disposable like that.

Answer 12

Nope.

Answer 13

any of you guys actually ride? horses don't feel the pain of a crop, its only used by older students who understand how hard to use it, it's psychologically connected to a hoses speed which is why they are used.

most horses are kept in conditions which are very good and those who don't are typically reported as being cruel. I can't comment on actual racing as I do show jumping(more based on performance and going over jumps in good ways and the way you ride rather than speed)

the 8belles thing is bcoz she was suffering, horses can't sleep with 2 broken ankles.

as for it being ued to flaunt wealth tht couldnt be less true, honesly i can say im middle class and live in a decent house however im the only one in my riding goup that doesn't live on the local council estate, we all borrow the equipment and go to have fun there, your'e being stereotypical.

sorry but... you really gotta get your facts straight
