Angry Re: Grand National

So we would be deprived of the sight of such beautiful animals if horse racing were banned? Not much of a reason for keeping it going is it junetta? Rather selfish I think! As for the industry being wiped out – tell that to the miners, steelworkers, textile workers, car workers, sea fishermen to name just a few.

If a horse breaks a leg or suffers some other injury it is put down. I believe that the method is shooting. Not much of a reward is it?

If the best that you can do staggeringman is to get personal with insults then I know that you don’t have a valid argument.

Note to a mod. Do you really want such an obnoxious person as a member of this forum?

I accept that the top horses are very well cared for but only because they are valuable to the owners. Would the same level of care be lavished on them if they were not top horses? Less valuable horses, those that rarely if ever win or even get a place are not so well cared for.

One final point - for every winner there must be some losers.
