If 3 dogs died while competing in the weekend of Crufts, that shit would be shut down in 6 months

Not gunna lie. Have bet on horses in the past but stopped before Grand National last year.

I had detracted myself from it. Ex brother in laws brother part owns a horse that I won decent enough money on, but didn’t really think about how rank it actually is.

I’ve been to Siena in Italy and watched the palio live from the middle of the town square. It’s a mad horse race on a mostly cobbled town square for bragging rights. Horses and people die quite often. Two horses were put down while we were there

It was exciting to watch the race but then the aftermath was awful. Asked our Italian friend about the casualties and he said that the horses race for glory. If they die then it’s a glorious death fulfilling their goal. People are insane. Anything to satisfy our boredom

Help yourself, can’t take credit, it was a fella from work I was talking to about how disgusting that piece of shit trainer who’s been on the news blaming protesters for making his horse get all stressed so it didn’t make him loads of money or something.

Protesting at the snooker now, the least cruel sport going.

Not looked into what they’re protesting yet.

Oil.

Not sure why they need to disrupt a snooker match to protest against the use of oil but here I am posting about it so I guess it worked.

I don’t trust horses. Once whilst I was cycling up a steep hill, a horse reared up at me and I thought the thing was going to crush me! The child in charge of it did nothing. I fell off into the road. Bastard things!

Jockeys aren’t children they’re just tiny men

Reading that made me daydream about Crufts having a new dog fighting event for the runners up at the end of the show. 2 vs 1 tag team event, with 2 Dachshunds vs a Cocker poodle.

“I like dachshunds, but I also like cocker poodles…there’s only one way to find out”

Turns out fake news is not cheap. It’s good big media are being held accountable. The irony of Sky News reporting it…

Wonder how much they’ll end up actually paying
