Your missing the point. How can you condone a 'sport' where they intentionally hurt animals. Yet have a go at horse racing a sport that has a risk factor, but there is no intention to cause harm to the animals? Well?
Not difficult Eddie haha! Well done on your tip that won earlier, you guys on the DT seem to show a profit most days
You pair o' fannies cannae beat me though. I don't eat meat nor have I ever been fishing or taken part in any activity that could be condemned as cruel to animals. You can't accuse me of hypocrisy. But I can accuse you of contributing to a sport that can at times be cruel to the animals involved. So up you!
This is distracting me from watching Murray getting raped at the tennis. Not a good day to be a Celtic and Murray fan
Does it really matter if Celtic win lose or draw, it's not like anyone's breathing down your necks to capitalise. Murray will no doubt turn it round, and then get a good schooling from 1 of the big 3
Most ****ed up people, like serial killers have been known to harm animals first, before moving onto people. Hitler was clearly a one off, don't know what the **** was going on in his head

Anyone ever ridden a horse? (Most of you have ridden a few pigs I'm sure) I have and it was awesome. If you frighten a bull it will put its head down and charge at the thing it is being scared by, this behaviour has been exploited by bull fighters for entertainment all the way back to the classical Greek era (as opposed to the jazz funk Greek era). If you scare a horse it will run. If it sees other horses running it assumes they have seen something that is about to eat them and will run. Horses will try to run faster than other horses to escape what they think of is danger so that the slower horse gets eaten instead of them. Sit a man on a horse and give it a smack on the backside it will take off like a rocket. We have been exploiting this natural instinct of horses for thousands of years. Horses also run for no reason other than that they enjoy it. Horses are a bit dim. Once you have stopped them trying to throw you off they get along just fine and become used to being handled. You can train horses from an early age to accept a saddle then a rider, if they didn't like it they'd throw all the time. I rode working horses who only ever had to take a passenger every other week or every third week. If they had any injuries or illnesses they were rested and treated until well. The gaps in between was all oats and frolics. Not butchered and made into pies at the end of their lives either. Once they were too old to take riders the horses were allowed to run with the herd and left to die naturally and the carcasses became food for bears and worms. You don't half get a rush when the nag gives it the beans, I'd recommend it to anyone.
