Second fatality at Aintree

Funny how the horses that lose their riders, always continue running and jumping the fences, can only assume it's in their nature.

 

Was just gonna post the same actually. Watched the race live, horrible fall. The horse took an extra stride before the fence and ploughed through it. If you look back though, you'll see Ruby Walsh (brother of you know who), after been brought down trying to avoid the fall disregard his own safety by sprinting after the injured horse and try to minimise its pain.

 

Heartwarming.

 

Perhaps next time he ought to kick it while its down, and then cackle mercifully like Sideshow Bob.

 

Half the spectators will be pissed and could not care a toss
Typical example of how humans treat animals for our own ends. There are plenty of animal lovers but some right anti lovers

 

That is how Synchronised died last year.

 

That's true. Running and jumping using its own free will with no nasty jockey telling it where to go.

 

Don't you mean mercilessly? You appear a bit confused on the definition of mercy. Oh, the irony....

 

Your arguments would not make it over the first fence at Aintree or anywhere. Take your time before you hit reply.

Someone else can maul you over that one! I had my fun with the Sideshow Bob lunacy.

 

Quite possibly because it was so terrified it just copied all the other horses to make a desperate bid for safety. A real way to test your theory would be to take a horse down there on a day where the race isn't going ahead and put it on the start line jockeyless. I wonder if it would still run and jump all the way around?

 

Yes I did. That's it, we all know its the grammar police who win debates.

What are you having for tea, just out of interest? I won't be having meat, until a chicken has told me that it's ok for me to eat one. I mean, how do I know that's what they would want? Aimlessly slaughtered just for the money and greed of others they are.

 

Of course they would clear the first fence. After all, it's been modified so much that its really easy to jump now.

 

I'm vegetarian, just out of interest. Keep them coming I can bat these out of the park all night.

 

I'd like you to show we where I wrote that first one, I don't think that's my quote.

 

Fantastic.

So I presume you attack meat eaters with the same vigour then? What happens at a restaurant when you see someone order a steak? I take it you must interrupt their meal and point out that they are directly responsible for the death of animals, just like anyone who bets on the National is also directly responsible for horse deaths.

 

Sorry Fonzie, changed it.

 

No problems. I don't mind you tearing me to shreds, but at least quote my own **** ups.

 

Agree, all these dog owners who incarcerate animals in their houses for 8+ hrs a day because they want a pet, something to keep them company, that they can control because they are incapable of interacting with their own species ......it makes my blood boil.
