Because they're not. He has the same tired arguments year on year.

How many horse yards have you actually been on?Because they're not. He has the same tired arguments year on year.
Where do you get the data on them being caged from?They have an hour - or perhaps two - where they are then raced and trained - horses really just want to be out but they cannot as injuries can happen. Many even casual yards in winter force box rest to protect fields.
Competition yards are not for the feint hearted
There is no such thing as a "retired" horse. They are auctioned off to anyone who will take them and often are not suitable as they have not been trained for the situation they then end up in.
For the record the rest of the competition world - equestrian and dressage is no better.
Regarding the horse racing industry the focus is on the likes of Cheltenham but the small courses with awful conditions are even worse.
Tbh I'm not against banning whipping. If it was all out then there is a level playing field, although often they don't actually touch them and are only showing it, but remove it completely and there can be no arguments.We had the Cheltenham races on the telly last week, watching the jockeys whip the daylights out of those horses towards the end would fit the bill of 'appalling treatment' for me.
None, but as close family have part ownership in some and extended family work in two different yards, then I'd take their word for it over yours.How many horse yards have you actually been on?
When I say caged I mean stabled. Robs pro link even admits it. They can of course live like that but the notion its in the interest of the horses and thats good welfare is nonsense. Its to prevent injuries in fields which occur regualrlyWhere do you get the data on them being caged from?

Even on that, as harrowing as it may be, 15% of horses currently in training and over 20 years. What answers do you have on supporting the 18-20,000 if you want to stop it? Where are they going when people stop paying for them? One big cull?
Yes I would. I view human life as more valuable than animals. That doesn't mean I dislike animals, far from it. They are generally horse lovers and been brought up around it, but equally were already living a life. Racehorses without horse racing wouldn't even be born.I assume you - like me - wouldn't care if the jockeys die in these number?
It's certainly not a deception unless you believe the same few hundred horses are running every week. It has declined in recent years, but even on the Vet desk they have it as 14,000 with the most current data.Oh and the 20,000 horses racing is a deception

Maybe even bring back gladiatorial combatHorse lovers - lol - they are generally cruel greedy and thick as shit.
What a dumb argument - they wouldn't be born. Lets get more Bull fighting, lets get bear baiting back, animals in Circuses - actually lets get human slavery back - I mean otherwise those slaves would not be born.
Good lad. If you ain't got the work ethic life's tough.Right, I'm working. Please carry on amongst yourselves!
