Neigh.
Spring carnival here in my home town.
It's all about horses, betting, fashion.
I hate this time of the year. Why do humans think it is okay to exploit horses for profit?

Libtardaplorable©. And proud of it.

during the first race a horse broke down and had to be euthanized essentially right in front of us. i felt awful after that. we had been booked to play there 5 or 6 times that summer. it was the first time we played there. we canceled the remaining shows because i did not feel right making money off of these animals that literally risk their lives every time they enter the gates.
i hate horse racing.

We also have jumps racing which has higher death rates.
It sickens me that people don't care about the horses, it's all about winning on bets, dressing up in fashion, getting drunk.
That's nothing compared to being whipped and run half to death over and over and over.
money power makes people do crazy things. to make matters worse, casinos have adjoined some race tracks resulting in increases purses resulting in more cheating/doping. its a horrible situation and its not limited to horses (greyhounds, even dogsledding!) i know alittle bit about the horse racing business and it isnt pretty. like anything else money has ruined, it has to get really bad before corrective action is taken. if you do a search this topic has been discussed before, might not want to look it up thou, horrible videos.
on a positive note there are some organizations that are making some in-roads, the one Im involved with makes it mandatory for race horse owners to contribute to a fund (per race entry) that helps horses de-stress and enjoy life after racing on the farm.
"I think if horses knew that if they tripped during the race they'd get their brains blown out, the race would be quite different".
Horse #1: take it easy everyone, don't run too fast, everyone finishes, everyone's happy. you come first, I'll place, everybody's good".

I would think that cock fighting and dog fighting are inhumane.
