Grand Nationals ;-(

Every year i hear about Cheltenham, Grand nationals and other races...i knew that they raced horses and i knew that the R.S.P.C.A were having big campaigns to ban the jockeys from whipping their horses and stuff like that >> now bearing in mind id never actually watched one of these races,
Today however i thought id watch 'The Grand Nationals' (4 the first time)...>>  i know that people do bet on horses winning and that allot of people watch the races but my god i can honestly have never seen anything like it >> it was terrible how the horses were being treated....


They....

• were whipped endlessly
• fell and tripped over each other
• get trampled on by other horses

And to top it all off there were two horses put down because they were so badly hurt during the race...


Another thing that i can't get over is the fact that the winning horse 'Neptune' was whipped constantly through the last 30 seconds of the race and then as soon a he was announced winner everything was fine and he was being patted and hugged by the same the same person that was whipping him 3 minutes earlier..the poor horses must be so confused.
The races should be ban altogether >>
No More Races!!
