As my report function has been disabled, I'd like to report post number 79 for being insulting and baiting. And also post number 81 for being insulting with bigotry.

If you un disable my report button, then I wouldn't need to do this in the thread.

Also, when a jocky falls off the horse, why does the horse always continue racing and jumping fences? That is a free choice by the horse, proving that they like racing and jumping fences.

It proves nothing,other than they are following all the others,doesnt mean they are enjoying it,but probably they do more so than having someone whipping their backside.

They have better lives than us humans. They get waited on hand and foot and then when they retire they get put into the stud farm where they spend the rest of their lives shagging.

Life of luxury.

Sounds a bit like humans.

Here, this horse proves that if they don't want to race, then they won't.

This youtube channel is called "Horseracingkills" maybe it would interest you Kaz? It's obviously an anti-horse racing channel.

But I used one of their own videos to make my point that horses still have the free will to not race.

Alf you are not going to change your mind and that is your choice, Myself , I would ban it tomorrow as I would lots of other 'sports' using animals, hopefully things in the world are changing so who knows one day you will have to find other sorts of entertainment, that doesn't involve animals. How about lining up humans and whipping them to jump and run as fast as they can,and if they break a leg, just shoot them.

Spoiler:

Tongue in cheek

Would you take part ?We are not going to agree,but thats ok, you still make me laugh

Inherently so, I'd ban it, if I could.

Wouldn't it be quicker to tell us the things you wouldn't ban?

I'm not even a follower of Horse racing, I just have a go on the big events like Cheltenham and Grand national. When everyone does. It's traditional.

It's like Christmas, I'm not a religious person, but I still have a good old knees up for Jesus birthday.

As a lot of people do I think,there is no thought for what's behind things, I think we've all done it at some point.
