Honestly, this might be hugely controversial but I do think anyone who thinks horseracing is fine..doesnt give too much of a **** about animals. Yeah I know...'most are nice to them' 'only the bad ones abuse' blah blah. But...nah.

I kind of suspect a flood of these pictures coming out. As really, anyone who actually had any respect for the animals, would not be doing that job to start with. There will be worse than corpse pictures too. This is probably the tamest of it all.

This is a topic my opinion completely flipped on over the space of about a day. I did think...oh racehorses, well looked after by most, some bad trainers does not mean its all bad...etc. In my..ignorance..I did not know that usually multiple horses die on grand national day alone. Like..I couldn't stop thinking about it for ages as always thought it was all..well ok. But an event where multiple are killed each year yet still goes ahead..says to me neither the trainers, nor the fans actually care. They can talk the talk though and make the right noises of course

(I think what made the grand national thing worse too, was that I 'found out' on a shift at work, when the men in the bar were putting on their bets and that, but also putting a crapton of money onto the middle of the table. So I asked and wished I did not..that was a side bet, apparently, betting on how many horses died this year WAs then subjected to like..a bunch of men trying to explain why no, it wasnt horrible, its the circle of life and I just know nothing and blah blah )
