Death Theatre in Cheltenham (1 Viewer)

[Grendel]

I sat yesterday in a pub eating lunch and surrounded by morons cheering as a horse fell and apparently an outsider won a race.

Im convinced in years to come society will view this barbarism in the same way they did bear baiting back in the day.

People cheered the horse falling???

 

[PVA]

I would imagine they cheered the winning horse, not the horse falling.

And even if they did, at least they weren't cheering jockeys dying.

Did you eat animal product while you watched the racing?

Did you eat animal product while you watched the racing?

And was it dead at the time?

no

No they cheered the fall. Well yes jockeys dying is fine as they know the risks

The death festival reference is based on this

I take it it's the jumps that are the main problem and not flat racing?

Yes but the treatment of the animals is no better - you saw that with the Dressage Olympian banned for cruelty

Wow! I didn't realise it was that many.

Yeah, that was dreadful

 

[Grendel]

That remember is only those who die racing. Many others are literally fed to dogs as they are not up to standard

Yes, true.

Awful.

 

[Grendel]

Oh and while I am on one how can anyone condone this nonsense?

Wow, what cunts would do that knowing that it probably means they will be shot out the back.

It's not like their mate tripping over a kerb.

Eating for nutrition of course comparable to horses being killed in the pursuit of entertainment

Its just a nonsense argument - I just get triggered when I see all this bigging up the Cheltenham Festival

They are just thick as fuck and basically do not care.

Has welfare for the horses improved at all over the years?

Only thing I know of is that they lowered some hurdles a while back. Did that make any difference?

My Emma used to own a horse. She just rode it though. No competitions or show jumping etc.

In the end it is just about maximising money so it has not improved at all.

Bit of course the animals would not exist without the sport! It is a ridiculous argument.

So human slavery is something you condone as those humans would not have existed unless bred into slavery?

They arnt "being killed" for entertainment, occasionally a tragic fall results in a death, that's a tragedy, but not the purpose of the sport. Would you like to see show jumping banned too?
It's hardly fox hunting is it, where the whole purpose is to see dogs kill an animal.

If the accidental and tragic death of a horse, caused by a fall triggers you so much, I'd hate to take you to an abattoir.

But what's your take on Grendal's post about the death of the 24 year old jockey?
I see you've chosen to not mention that!
I wonder why?

Reread the sentence.

 

[Sick Boy]

Of course they would

It's one of the most ridiculous excuses for anything I've ever heard.

I repeat a horse days every 3 days - that’s a strange definition of occasional

He posts it every year.

Also his original story is made up bullshit for a linked story. The race where a favourite fell was the 4pm and yet not only was he sat in a sports pub where people watch racing that he hates but was eating lunch at 4pm. It didn't happen. I watch Cheltenham in the pub, people cheer their winners on. Only cunts cheer at the death of a jockey.

He's now deflecting saying it was a response to people bigging up Cheltenham yet he brought ut up and posted the link. Daz posting his fancy for the day can hardly be described as 'bigging it up'

On the flip side, these horses love racing. So at least they died doing something they enjoy.

“It’s what they might have wanted”

Something Grendel and me agree on. Who knew!

Have you asked them if they love racing?
