Where will Farky Latham go now to campaign?

Thank fuck for that. Anyone who has seen them shooting the greyhounds with high powered hoses to rev them up, wouldn’t shed a tear for these pricks. They can get real jobs

It's sad that it has shut down abruptly for the people who race dogs (many of whom are just regular pet owners who love their dogs) and work there.

Good!

Guh-bye, it really wasn't nice knowing of ya...

Excellent, hope more will follow.

The race that divides a nation: Why controversy surrounds this year’s Melbourne CupWhile more than two million people in Australia are expected to watch Tuesday's race, a recent exposé on the mistreatment of retired racehorses has given anti-racing activists the fuel to spread their message further. Flogging a dead horse still I see. You can bet on SBS and the ABC to denigrate all days of importance to most Australians. The Melbourne Cup, Australia Day, Anzac Day etc. That’s a sure fire bet. and abcnews. The publicly funded left wing news organisations that actively work to divide the nation.
