My workplace seems to be avoiding referring to "melborne cup" today ... instead having a "fancy hat day" ... i suspect, though unconfirmed, it is to appease those that are against horse racing

Ffs

Tell them that they are imagining that it is cruel. Oh wait. .

Yeah well if the horse had a gun it would have been able to defend itself
That's not the point. At the end of the day, primates decide at the expense of the horse. Besides, it's not like a horse could use a hoof to pull a trigger......ffs.

social media has gone into meltdown with the death of the horse, likening it to Spanish bull fighting

There is beer n nibblies ... just seems little mention of horses

Ffs if we cant come together and watch midgets whip the shit out of a horse with the distinct possibility of it falling n needing a bullet in the head, then what more is there to life?

Oh snap.

IIRC the steeple chase horses have way more fatalities. May have even been banned here.

I don't have a issue with horse racing. Moreso how gambling f**ks lives.

You know what would be more cruel? Never being born at all. Do these do gooders realize that without horse racing these horses wouldn’t be born at all? Now I know they don’t get a choice but I reckon living the life of a race horse would be better than no life at all. In fact probably better than going to work for 60 years

You eat steak don’t you?

Back on topic, the racing industry (horses and dogs) breed them like rabbits and most of them end up on the scrap heap. Slow pups are killed and dumped and horses are sold for pet food.
