Imo,yes it is,we've lost another one today,plus all the others we have lost over the years, for me its just the greed of humans again, money,money money,sod the horses,It wont be a popular opinion with some,but no one will persuade me that the horses love it,they really have no choice.This list of horses that have died is horrendous really as they have died just for us and OUR entertainment.

Probably it depends on how they are treated and Horseracing is just for profit Alf, not for anything else

Horses are one of the most athletic animals on the planet so it's not like they're being made to do something completely unnatural, plus the elite ones are so prized and well cared for that horses probably suffer a lot more in many other environments
No doubt there's a lot of shady practices in some parts of the industry though and they should always be looking for ways to make it safer |

They'd probably be sold to private owners for a lot of money

What happens to other horses? they go to special horse santuarys or are peoples pets we always get this argument,they just wouldn't be bred as much,so there would not be an overspill Im sure we have enough land to graze them on. It would eventually balance its self out.

Why would people buy them, to have as pets? They cost a lot of money to keep. You need stables, food, Vet bills to pay.
It's more likely that they'd end up as cat food. Bunged into tins on the supermarket shelf. |

Remembering Kerry

Flat racing less so.
I am though very uncomfortable with the jumps on races. They do enjoy it, as in show jumping too. However jumps of the level of the Grand National and also the number of Horses running I do consider cruel. It is sad another was lost today. If racing authorities can't make it safer themselves then they should be made to or I would support banning it. Not flat racing however. Any proven cruelty to Horses as in ownership should also carry penalties too definitely in my view. |

lots of people would buy them, plus if they are not bred for races,there will be less of them anyway,Ide rather have less than have any die in pain while being made to race.

People die in boxing, rugby, motor racing. Should they all be banned too?

Yes you did, its such an odd question considering they are so different, police horses are pretty much a mode of transport, police dogs generally are used for their sense of smell which dogs enjoy, they enjoy the stimulation, race horses are used as a form.of entertainment, I don't know what else to tell you the clues should be in the names
