Hi all
Yes, looks like it's no different to the greyhound industry. I thought that with more $ in the horse racing industry (compared to the mostly tragic, low income, greyhound breeders) they would look after ex-racing horses a lot better. Also was interesting as to how the greyhound industry "feeds" off the ex race horses - literally!
A few years ago I took the time to downloaded and read the complete report by the inquiry into the greyhound racing industry rather than just rely on what I read on the internet and saw on TV. Based on that I report was very disappointed when Baird caved into the industry and his fellow politicians. Now I'm thinking that maybe horse racing as it is organised and run currently needs the same shakeup.
Who here is going to the Melbourne Cup to support that industry? I wonder if there will be some disruptive activities at the upcoming Melbourne Cup?
Very good investigative journalism. Their evidence shows that the NSW Racing Board is not at all committed to animal welfare, despite what they promised some years ago.
