That's your argument in support of horse racing? They die less this way than the other way?

Now you are just being silly. It was in reply to your use of "lethal obstacles"... That just isn't true. If anything it's a much safer race for having hurdles. To argue that there are too many horses in the race would make more sense... That's why you don't get forty runners in a flat race!

Maybe it's better to ban all horse racing? ( because you surely have to believe the the notion of it is cruel or not, and not just the national is cruel but flat racing, oh that's ok )

Then these horses would never have have existed and the thousands of people employed through it wouldn't have the bother of work. Would you like every sport that involves and animal banned? The don't have a choice do they? There's this same claptrap about 'cruelty' every year! Thousands of horses live pampered lives a handful die in accidents... Better none existed in the first place?

And greyhound racing don't forget... Now that does, actually, have cruelty associated with it!

Any sports involving hurting animals for the enjoyment of humans should end, yes. Ideally.

Are you serious?! Is that what you think the point is?

I've no idea what your point is, that's mine. :)

You really don't have to get all angry about it though.

I'm not, in the least angry, just puzzled by some silly comments.

We just disagree. No biggie!

It may not be 'the point', and no one was saying it was, but it is clearly something that happens because of these sports. Which is undeniable.

I totally agree with you. This and EVERY other sport!

Yes, I'm sick of how many horses get shot during a game of Tennis. Angry
