Actually this for me.
I adore animals and respect all life.
To breed to risk killing for sport is something I abhor.
Plus the notion they are well looked after is pie in the sky as to some owners.
If they don't deliver on the racecourse, plus once they are more aged and not suitable to race anymore.
Their next fate can be anything from being discarded or sent to slaughter.
I love animals.
The real people wrong yesterday were those glorifying in a race that sees deaths every year now.
Horses are intelligent and beautiful beings.
This race now really is a grand national DISGRACE, it shouldn't be a legitimate race.
That's my view from MY deep love of all animals.
I wouldn't ever risk putting any animal into an event where it COULD more likely be killed.
So I'll take no lectures from those who would and even seem to enjoy seeing it done too.
