Just another clara pettacci head in the sand, oblivious to all things around you.
All I have to say ... ( 1 month ago by Horses4ever)
All I have to say to those saying this was murder is this: Would you rather they have kept her alive and put her through all that pain and suffering? That would be like torture for her. They only do what's best for the horse. They kept Barbaro alive because he could at least stand, and they thought he deserved a second chance. I'm not saying that Eight Belles didn't, but it wasn't possible for her to stand. She probably would have developed a bad case of laminitis if they kept her in a sling.

how was she murdered? she had weak ankles.

It makes perfect sense, but you are too busy kissing PETA's ass to understand it.
Your opinion does not matter simply because it has no factual basis. Horse racing is not barbaric, but you wouldnt know that because you know nothing about horses.
And let me guess, you think that all animals should be running freely with no one to care for them.
Stupid PETA people

Again, your scurrilous posts fail to support your contentions. Please try to make a substantive post.

And people are suppose to listen to you? Do you own horses or have even touched one?

You are a fucking retard. Try again? You havent even answered ONE of my fucking questions! So either shut up or answer it! Why do you keep pussy footing around the subject?

No they werent, dumbass
It's you who hasn't ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
It's you who hasn't answered the question here. I stated that 100 years from now, most people will regard horseracing as barbaric. Your diatribe since has failed to support anything you claim. I haven't answered subsequent questions because they have no bearing on your original contention: that my opinion didn't matter. In addition, I don't respond to begged questions and non sequiturs couched within imprecations. Please try to express yourself calmly and intelligently.
I did say why your ... ( 1 month ago by Ruffian4Ever)
I did say why your opinion didnt matter, but again, you think you are so much better than everybody else because you can use big words!! Good job!
Now, since I DID answer your question, do you have horses, or have you ever ridden one?
Your first sentence ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
Your first sentence in this last post is a perfect example of non sequitur - meaning 'it does not follow.' Your point about big words is well taken and I will use simpler words - sorry about that. But please requote where you supported your claim that my opinion doesn't matter - because I've reread it twice and I'm not seeing it. Owning and riding horses is irrelevant. You need not be a general to be outraged by war. Can you understand that?
(Continued) That is ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
(Continued) That is a severe example, but my point is that close involvement in an activity doesn't guarantee objective decisions. In fact, my experience is that wherever money is a factor, it always wins at the expense of humans, animals, air, flora - all things I treasure. I'm sure you know a great deal more about horses than I do. But I know enough about horseracing to know that, at the very least, I would like to see radical reform. Is that such a disgusting position?
Well, actually they ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
Well, actually they were, by a very long stretch of time. But it's not a major point of contention for me. The point is fair treatment and sharing the planet.

In the 1600s in England, bear-baiting was a popular event. It would horrify people today, but the Queen of England loved it and 'vetoed' attempts to legislate against it. I believe, perhaps with too much optimism, that we are progressing as a society. Animal rights proponents are seen as 'fringe' people. As our world becomes more sophisticated, we will scrutinize much that is considered 'normal.' What is now fringe thought will gradually become mainstream through awareness.
This a good ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
This a good subthread with interesting points made by all. Opponents of racing believe that the problem began with the breeding. Now there are horses hardwired to run, and it would take many natural generations to correct that. It is not an easy subject, but people a lot smarter than me have trouble resolving it. And yes, you can posit that most of the selective breeding done by humans to animals has had negative consequences. Still, the reforms mentioned throughout this topic would help.

Let me guess....you dont believe in God, do you? Because if you did, you would know that we were created first.

As I stated before, your "opinion" comes from thin air-YOU HAVE NO FACTUAL BASIS TO STAND ON

It's interesting that your accusations can be so accurately applied to your own input here.
Lots of Western ... ( 1 month ago by Faireweatherfriend)
Lots of Western hemisphere people believe in God and still acknowledge the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution. They just have varying ways of accepting or denying the book of Genesis. And the other half of the world attaches no importance at all to the Bible, which was edited/influenced just after the Elizabethan era I described above.

Yes they were!!!! GOD CREATED ALL THE ANIMALS AND PLANTS FIRST. THEN HE CREATED ADAM, LAST, OUT OF CLAY/SAND AND HIS BREATH. AFTER A WHILE HE USED ADAM'S RIB TO MAKE EVE.
Faireweatherfriend may not own a horse, but I'm pretty sure you don't own a Bible...

Sure I own a Bible. I enjoy reading it, as I enjoy Bulfinch's Mythology. The Genesis story is mythology. A mountain of scientific facts refute Genesis. There are some good rules to live by in The New Testament, but Jesus as a Savior is, IMHO, legend.

I am a vet tech and let me tell you, she was not murdered. Horses are very sensitive creatures. Below their knees they have no muscle or anything to protect their bones except skin and their veins. Read some books. Get educated. It is the hardest call to make, but it was the best call to make. It ended her suffering. There is very little to do to horses in a huge injury. STop being a douche bag and grow up. She was not murdered. Thanks to all who understand that. May eight Belles rest in peace.
