Horse racing is a despicable pastime these wonderful animals treated like rubbish when they get old by vile trainers and owners

They àre edible you know…

Good news for cats and dogs

I will never spend a dime on horse racing, dog racing or any sport that exploits animals. Not only that it's cruel but also the way in which they die is despicable. Factory farming as well, animals have feelings and that have emotion. This is so wrong.

That's what I would call 'Fast Food.'

Racing and polo horses, as Spanish fighting bulls, are bred to entertain. Horses by running or playing ball, bulls by being tortured to death. When they are no longer useful, what do you do? Send them to nursing homes? Eating them is the ethical end to an unethical start.

Horse racing should be banned! The horses never get any freedom, after you get your entertainment out of them then send them to died. Human are disgusting

Horse meat tastes terrible.

Perhaps they'll feature Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Cool Dawn, 'euthanised' in 2018. I wonder what happened to its owner!?
