RE: Oh, so you support horse whipping do you?

in #horseracing5 years ago

I'm no environmental or animal crusader, just don't value the way human beings feel entitled to beat horses around a track and call it a sport considering it's done to support betting. I understand the challenge of training an animal to make it perform at its peak but not the rest of it, the beating. It's the accepted thing though I guess...I wonder how the jockey would feel getting beaten by a punter who lost his bet, with a riding crop, if he lost a race...

Ah I don't know, was just something to post I guess...I hate the Melbourne Cup hype and the bullshit that revolves around it...

Sort:  

Entitlement does seem to be something many people have a lot of. I didn't realise the Melbourne Cup was on. I guess I missed the hype. My daughter was just saying she thinks it's a rich person thing.
