Horse racing is the same as dog fighting and should be illegal. And it's only not illegal because of the money involved.

*facepalm*

This is clearly nonsense. There is an awful lot of money in drug trafficking, but that's illegal

Well I for one hate the way they put those horses together in a pit to tear each other apart and fight to the death.

Out of interest, how do these people feel about Greyhound Racing? or school sports days?

 

[slumdog]

I did point out that the horses and jockeys don't tend the kill each other!

It's clearly not the same as dog fighting.
There may well be a lot of money in drug dealing but none of it goes to the tax man.

 

[slumdog]

Oh and apparently horses don't get hurt doing anything else! Yeah, tell that to Eric Lamaze...

 

[nosenseofdirection]

None of Tesco's money goes to the taxman, but that's legal! Really confused now...

 

[nosenseofdirection]

According to OH I'm wrong and tescos do pay some tax. Can't guarantee they don't harm horses however!

Well at a farm once I watched pigs race with dolls strapped to them !!!! That is abuse the dolls were way to heavy

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

And in North Devon they race sheep with dolls strapped on their backs. No way could a sheep carry the same weight as a pig. What percentage of it's body weight couls a sheep carry? And would they get over Bechers anyway?

;-)

In my old village they race plastic yellow ducks in the brook every year, the whole village turns out!

Clearly the organisers weren't aware of the 20% rule, shocking
