It's a big wheel that doesn't turn Darren
Beyond a joke these people
Lock him up and ban him from ever being near a horse again
Anyone that participates in the cup is abusing horses, but here we are, letting rich people get more money for exploiting animals

Knackery in 7.30 story was taken to court for animal cruelty last monthBurns Pet Food at Riverstone pleaded guilty to aggravated animal cruelty relating to dozens of cattle and an injured sheep only a month before the ABC's 7.30 report into the slaughter of horses. We often talk abt how our licestocks are treated so badly overseas. Yet in our own backyard the situation is no different. This was very disturbing. No social participation for Melbourne Cup this year. No offence ABC but this headline is ANOTHER beatup. That business was/is going bust, and didn't have any horses there... So this is a scream for attention, rather than factual reporting, which is sad.
