Another race horse killed

[Mups]

Yet another horse, Gold Dancer,  has died because of the Grand National.
He broke his back but still went on to win -  and was then destroyed by Vets.


Quote:

"Emma Slawinski, chief executive at the League Against Cruel Sports, said: "Year after year we see horses dying at Aintree for people's entertainment and a cheap bet. 
Sadly, Gold Dancer is the latest victim of this heartless spectacle, which flies in the face of animal welfare."

I won't say anymore,  but no doubt most of you will know I feel.

Such a cruel (sport).. Designed for the over-indulged rich ...
Horses are bred simply to win races .. When they can no longer do this they are no longer needed..
A bit like greyhound racing.. Which, I am pleased to say, has been banned in some places..
