The Grand National - The Blue Riband of Horse Racing

So the animals rights solution is the extermination of the thoroughbread species.
Interesting angle, I suppose if they cease to exist you don’t have to worry about their rights

It was the only one made in the segment he has clipped there. I saw he was going to be on and tried to listen but turned it off after a few minutes as it was complete brain-numbing stuff from Nicky Campbell, it seems Blake didn’t do much to elevate it.

I also heard the owner of Hill Sixteen on the segment beforehand saying that the protestors were responsible for the death of his horse because it became so hyped up from the delay - when the obvious question was asked as to why he wanted to run the horse in that state rather than withdraw it he said it wasn’t actually that hyped up, and horses often get hyped up before a race. A poor performance all round by the industry on radio this morning.

He debated the topic at length on TV last week

The fact he has clipped that segment and put it up suggests he is very proud of it - comes across as a bit of a fool in it to me with a very watery argument. I had expected something better from him.

i think we should end dairy farming for sure- humans drinking cow secretion is weird

if a horse dies every year in the grand national & the owners willingly enter their horse into the race then they dont care about the horse at all.

They should reduce the numbers in the race and make the fences safer - the crowd here seemed to enjoy the mayhem

I am sure there is most likely a fair amount of animal abuse going on in order for us to have fresh milk every day.

I just put a drop of it in my tea.

Princess Camilla was a nag

Single greatest performance, losing or winning, of all times.

Two proper thoroughbred racehorses.
