Thanks for the insults, Elsie! Helps me know I'm on the right track.

They'll all be standing in farmers fields in a few years time when the country wakes up an realizes that horse racing is...

The chances of the farmers field incident is significantly less than the horse race incident. And the big difference is, if a horse gets injured in a field it's an accident. If it gets injured on...

It's simply a reflection of the social and political polarization we have today in England. We are coming apart as a county. We have no national soul, anymore. And I think we all know why, don't...

A lot if it may go into animal feed.

1. Horses trotting around a farmers field have almost zero chance of randomly breaking a leg, unlike horses being raced at breakneck speeds bumping into each other in a torrid frenzy, jumping fences...

You've clearly got nothing.

Can see being in the "know-nothing" class as well, fairly soon. Torturer. Murderer. Hope you sleep soundly at night.

Don't shoot the messenger!

You're clearly just a know-nothing.

Don't waste my time on this thread anymore -- you have nothing to contribute.

I shan't be reading your posts.

To the leftists, the poppy is a symbol of the British Empire. Something that is repugnant to those who were enslaved, disenfranchised, and treated like animals for the benefit of the British Empire.

If you don't know the difference between humanely killing an animal for it's meat, and pushing horses until they collapse; smashing limbs to bits as they do; the terror of having an agonizing limb...

Please! What am I doing to 'poison the board'?

Sounds more like you want to do an "operation fear", instead, to attack me.

Sad.

Anyway, how would Elsie know who I am? XD

That makes no sense whatsoever! ;)

We don't know what else we'd do with them, so let's just keep maiming and killing them in heinous ways??

Seriously???

When horse racing is banned, current...

That's simply not true!

It's FAKE NEWS. LIES BY THE HORSE RACING ASSOCIATION!!

How can anyone be expected to believe numbers thrown out without hard evidence, by the very organization...

You are trying to dodge admitting the truth.

You talk about measures to reduce deaths, but you refuse to cite the statistics that fail to back that up. Instead, you focus on one race, rather than...

Yes.

"never be perfect" ... I suppose you think it's ok if it's only a few dozen horses that get maimed and destroyed each year as sacrifice to your gambling habits?

And pray tell, all this logging and...

14 horses maimed and subsequently destroyed this month, alone.

And Elsie is ok with that ...

Sad.

Sadly, some on here don't see it as a significant problem,

Oh, but those 'sports' where animals are maimed and killed as a side effect are ok in your book?

Sad.

Elsie, those ARE the facts. How many of those horses listed on the Horse Death Watch website first broke a leg and was subsequently destroyed?

It's absolutely barbaric and totally shameful.

We...

I know exactly what I'm talking about, 961. Check the link near in the top few posts.

I agree.

And now we have strong evidence (and, I think, it's generally accepted) that head blows in boxing cause brain damage that only reveals itself years later. Look to Cassius Clay for an...

The horses don't even know what's on the other side of those fences they're forced to jump.

Imagine their terror every time they are forced to leap into the great unknown. At best, they'll thump...

Undoubtedly, demand for race horses would crash. Such a shame they were bred that way in the first place.

Even so, horse racing should be stopped. To continue is to perpetuate horrific...

The only solution is stop horse racing.

An Act of Parliament is needed.

Unfortunately, the gambling lobby and wealthy proponents (a lot of foreigners) would use their leverage to make sure...
