Not really. If I choose to play football or cricket or rugby or tennis or whatever then I’ve chosen to do it. Not many horses will choose to run 4 1/2 miles as fast as they can while jumping fences and carrying someone on their back. But apart from that yeah.
Thing is mate if there was no racing then horses would not be alive at all.
Well horses would wouldn’t they, they were before racing existed so I reckon they could manage. The obvious answer to that point is if you knew your kid would be exploited as soon as it was born then would you choose to have kids? If you say yes you’re either a psychopath or lying. So is ‘being alive’ a good thing in that environment? It’s a no from me.
Thoroughbred horses would not be bred unless their was racing. If there was no racing or showjumping or any of that there would be very little horses . And comparing a child with an animal is a bit much. Don't watch then.
If I don’t watch the war in Ukraine will it mean nobody dies? Good to know, I didnt realise how much power I had.
Necer said that did I. What are you trying to achieve exactly?
I’m not trying to achieve anything. Like I said, I’m not an activist, I get that people have different viewpoints and that’s fine. If you say stuff that’s either blatantly untrue or just plain stupid then I’ll point it out, but other than that I’m not getting involved.
Luckily I didn't say anything plain stupid or blatantly untrue then wasn't it.
You assume right, I’m vegan. Funny that your initial thought was to try to criticise what I do rather than defend what you do isn’t it? Quite common that.
Haha. I don't bet. I have always had horses.
That’s fine, like I said I’m not trying to guilt you or anything, just pull you up on lies. And horse racing being just like any other sport is a lie, whether you want to believe it or not.
It's not a lie though is it. None of the 40 horses running tomorrow would ever have been bred if there was no racing. That was my initial point . And it is true .
We’ve already been over this? You think them being born and then forced to do things they don’t want to do before being flogged to the meat market halfway through their life is a blessing for them, I don’t. I’m not going to change your mind and I’m not trying to, I’m just pointing out that I think it’s a terrible take.
