Default R.I.P. 8 Belles...

anyone watch the kentucky derby? so sad. almost makes horse racing appear barbaric. they were just relating it to such things as animal fighting on the today show. i still find it hard to believe that with today's technology they can't fix a horse's ankle or leg. it just blows my mind that they hafta be put down from an injury like that.

well, not totally. i don't think so. they are both abusive to animals, just in different ways.

in dog fighting one of the dogs is killed. here a horse lost it's life for what? 2nd place in a race? not a good reason. if you ask me.

It's the circle of life... Horse races, horse loses, horse gets killed and made into dog food... dog eats it, dog fights, dog loses and dies... Well... maybe not a complete circle...

Ooo... Hold on... my chicken in burning...

These horses are treated better than most kids in this country. Yes, it is an unfortunate accident, but something like this rarely happens. A dog is killed in every dog fight. Not to mention the torture they endure to "train" for the fight.

Horses are born to run. Many more die on the farm in "regular" surroundings (i.e. step in a hole, etc) than on the racetrack.

So... to compare the two "sports" is still fucking moronic
