The whole dog and horse racing industry is in need of closing down. It is riddled with abuse to both the living and the about to be dead animals, disgusting practices like electrocution to enhance track performance, training abuse like firing guns near the horse and terrifying it to enhance their performance through fear. The "humans" involved in these practices are sub humans.
Disgusting through and through.
The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈
The sport of Kings, a $14 Billion a year industry. No matter which way you look at it, whether from the gambling side of it, or the cruelty side of it, it's not a good look. But it's not going to go away, and it does give millions of people some joy, as well as employment. Not all trainers are cruel, but there are enough to make this an issue that must be faced. And what of the jockeys? How do they feel? This news article frames that well.
disclaimer. Back in the late 50's, my Dad and Uncle had training licences. I spent time around racehorses as a lad, in Rockhampton. Dad would not tolerate cruelty of any kind, but Uncle did use jiggers [ batteries in a match box set up to give a slight shock to the sweaty neck of a horse ] , and I used to hear the strappers talking in hushed voices about some of Uncles horses running 6 inches above the ground because of ' special ' feeds he gave them. [ possibly a reason he won the Rockhampton Cup. ] But the one constant was the love of horses that those on the ground [ jockeys, strappers et al] had for 'their' horses. If there is cruelty, I doubt it would come from any of them, because they were self regulating. Any one found hurting a horse was taken around the back of the stables, and sorted.
Racing scandal: Anguished jockey weeps at thought she 'failed' slaughtered horse | The New Daily
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
I've no quarrel with horse dogs, cats or if anything else meaty gets turned into food. But I do want them to be put down in an humane fashion and not end their lives terrified.
Many people Australia wide are always waffling on about the transport of live animals to overseas destinations and the cruelty they face there, then we (or some part of us) is shown to be no better in the treatment of animals.
It's not a recent thing I can tell you, I've seen a calf attacked with a big hammer in a slaughter house in Melbourne's west (from memory) 40 odd years ago when the compressor for the bolt gun broke down.
The attitude from the sub human bit of filth was that killing had to go on to protect their bonuses..... He stopped when threatened (not by me) with getting a screwdriver in his guts.

Dogs are a bit different to horses.
I have 2 horses on my 6 acres, and that is not enough to feed them.
I think all the people complaining should go out and buy (or just ask) for a horse and try to look after them themselves.
I worry about the abuse, but wonder if they were playing it up for the cameras and abusing them to make controversy, like PETA members have done before.
When I worked for a abattoirs, anyone caught abusing the animals wold be severely disciplined or put off.
