    I think that's only the 4th time in a hundred and some years that a horse has broken down at the Derby.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    i knew the wackos would come out after the Derby. These horses are bred SOLEY for the purpuse of being race horses. These are not show horses or pets, they are THOROUGHBREDS. Thoroughbreds are runners. None of these horses would EVER be born if not for the horse racing industry. As I stated in the Kentucky Derby thread on here - thousands of thoroughbreds raced on saturday in the US. One died on tv. It is sad, don't get me wrong but not the end of the world. A Philly cop was shot to death on sunday yet no threads on that. Let's have some perspective.

    any time you take advantage of an animal's natural instincts, it's just plain wrong. i dont care how long its been going on or how "well" these animals are treated.

    i'd love to jump on the back of one of these horse-racing enthusiasts and ride him around town, whipping him in the ass until his leg break, giving me cause to shoot him in the head.

    They take really good care of those horses.

    actually mine is a fact - these horses are bred solely for this purpose but never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

    what does what their bred for have to do with anything?

    so if a sex slave is born to be a sex slave, it's okay because that's what she was bred for.

    Philly cop was not made to be a cop, he chose to do police work. So what if those horses were raised for this industry? doesn't mean we should treat them solely as an intertainment value, and then discard them like a dirt on the shoe when we no longer want them

    no actually that's my point... why breed animals into such cruelty?

    Many people don't realize that race horses often bleed internally after such hard runs.

    It's ridiculous.

    I raise horses btw.

    wow don't even know how to respond to this insanity. So because the Philly cop chose what to do his dying is less cruel? this is why I said I knew the wackos would come out. Just nuts.


    all you people commenting negatively about horse racing - I ask you - what do you eat to survive? Do you eat meat, fish, plants? or are you just hypocritcal for argument sakes?

    it's nothing new to me, at least people like yourself have a chance to change things if you don't like what's going on in the world. or at least try to protest or something.

    oh so your horses never die? I mean they live forever right because surely nothing you do would ever harm them? I mean you make sure they never get cut and bleed right.

    you're not the first one to say i'm insane, but just to say, i thank you for saying so, because to me it's a compliment.

    death of a cop is tragedy also, however you missed or dissmissed my point. That cop was not raised to police and have any associated health risks to go with it. Don't try and start bringing the whole issue of humans vs. animals, please the stories about a cop and a horse are different, they can't be compared.

    as for being a hypocrite, then you have no argument here as well, i spoke about entertainment i didn't say anything about not eating an animal.

    Entertainment and eating food to survive are two different things ya know.

    how are entertainment (actually horse racing is business, a billion dollary indusry) and eating food to survive different when you are referring to how the animals are treated and the cruelty? so are you saying you are only against animal cruelty when it suits your purpose as I stated above? again that's pretty hypocritical isn't it?

    how is it a joke? he stated it's cruel because the horses bleed after running. again are you telling me that nothing he does harms his horses in any way? because surely if anything he did harmed his horses in any way it would be cruel wouldn't it? again per your other argument, it's only cruel when it serves your purposes for argument sake isn't it?

    it called balance, majority of things that humans do are in one way or another detrimental to the whole world, do you honestly think eating a plat is ok? you know plant is alive organism, just like the most of us on this planet. ;)
    :p

    eating something or someone necessary act for survival, but watching horseracing is just a pleasure, if people stop watching it they're not going to die.

    continuous running and excessive running will be damaging, if horse didn't run so much it wouldn't have this bleeding. and yes of course if someone harmed their horses for ENTERTAINMENT that would be considered cruelty.
