This Has To End

I'm not one of those insane animal people. I like animals, but I do not value them over human life. However, some things cannot go on like this. At the historic Kentucky Derby today, the horse that was the runner up broke its two front legs and had to be euthanized ON THE TRACK. This is terrible. This is the second year in the row a horse has died in a large horse racing event. I don't care about these bourgeoisie people and their traditions in horse racing. I don't care about the thousands of people placing money on these races. This is completely inhumane and it needs to end.

Traditions should be trumped, particularly when we can now race MOTORIZED vehicles. You know what else was tradition? Racism....but yeah, clearly that had to go. Now, I don't want to lower racism and civil rights to horse racing, but the argument in favor of tradition is a half-whit one at best. End horse racing. This is terrible.

"End Horse Racing" c'mon Dave...never thought you would be a PETA Kool-Aid Drinker. So much for original thought. Horses run by nature and I suppose the pristine track at Churchill Downs is more dangerous than running around some scenic mountainside?
