Patterdalejoe you know what i mean. In a sense that animals who dont perform in the field should be done away with...yes cos comments like his instead of showing a bit of respect and heart for the animals are really going to give Antis/Tree huggers ect a bit more ammo to play with. A good man respects his animals be it horses, dogs what ever and a even better man respects his quarry. Dog dish for horses cos a few quid was lost is not respect. Wether he meant it or not

 

With all due respect if an animals bred for a purpose but it doesnt suit, in my eyes, there is every reason to cull it. This is more prominent in race horses than any other animal i can think of (apart from fighting dogs which of course is totaly illegal).

 

I had money on Synchronised and the owners of According to Pete seemed nothing other than a totally ordinary Yorkshire family (for what that worth). Its not good when ever a (working) animal dies, whether thats a lurcher running into a fence or a race horse dying at the national.

 

You seem to be implying that there is a place for every animal that is bred no matter what its qualities are. If an animal doesnt "perform in the field" the owner has every right to cull it in a humane manner.

 

Racing horses show this more than any other animal. Imagine selling/giving away a thorough bred race horse, to any one who could afford it, for pitance because you didnt want to destroy it. People would get seriously hurt, its not a Blackpool donkey.

 

Its as irresponsible as the people who gave away/sold the "pit bulls" that are giving the breed such a bad name these days.

 

Any way what your talking about is totally different to putting down a race horse with a broken leg which is practically impossible to fix.

 

As a horse owner for 15 year i can honestly say i know that a lot of injurys are impossible to fix as the saying goes "No hoof..no horse" and i know that putting them down is inevitble. BUT i was simply peed off (rawness of watching horses fall and die im female, im sensitive sometimes) at the comment "Hope the uless c**ts end up in a dog bowl" which obv now all tidied up and sorted seems it was in jest.

And i also know how good "sometimes" exracers can be rehomed and retrained into diffrent lines of work just as ex racing greyhounds can be (had them for 8 years). I have enjoyed many a day taking a ex racer on a hack out around the woods and believe me please i know they are no Blackpool donkey.Tho i must boast i remained seated The ex race horse who i used to ride was Madam Roux grand daughter of Rudimentry unfortunatly she was pts with re occuring colic a few years ago. I know they cannot all be saved and i know every man/women has there own views on what happens to a working animal should it not make the grade/be injured and that was not my fight my point was of a thoughtless comment made by Lab but i will still stick to my view of a good man will respect his animals. I havnt kept working dogs or working horses just happy hackers and retired track greyhounds but i do know of a hell of a lot who go onto excel and enjoy working in diffrent spheres or simply been pets. Each to there own tho eh. Oh and ive also had a Pit Bull who unfortunatly we lost at the tender age od 15 months last year due to a fatal and sudden seizer. I know there isnt a place for every animal bred id be nice if there was but rehomed to the RIGHT people if UNINJURED or WITHOUT behavioural probs it can be harmonious.

Jesus ye are highly strung

 

So im told I dont mean to be....im but a humble female forgive me!

Thats ok back to the sink quickly now the dishes arnt going to do themselfs
