Admire Rakti dies after Melbourne Cup (4 Viewers)

[SylviaB]

Racing horse gets injured and they get a bullet in the head and off to the glue factory. I still don't get why a day of gambling is such a big event.

So? People are upset because one horse died, compared to millions of animals slaughtered each year because people want to eat more meat instead of vegetables.

This.
Idc about animals if people are eating them, that's needed for survival, but pointlessly exerting them for entertainment and killing them is fucked up.

using them for entertainment, fine whatever, especially with things like dogs and horses that are so common.

These horses were bred to race, they get a bum knee and we put a bullet in them. It's just such a pointless waste of an animal in the name of gambling.

I don't like circuses or zoos or basically anywhere people are making money out of animals by forcing them to do things.

really, you don't like the many noble things zoos have actually done... eg: breeding programs for endangered species, research into animal disease control, etc...

I can see your point about the circus... clowns ain't my cup of tea either...

most zoos in the western world do a lot of good animal welfare programs.

pandas would die off if it wasnt for breeding programs lol. and they cost millions to keep coz chinese government wants their cut lol.

My cousin's actually a horse breeder in Wagga, so I can ask her if you want. All I know is that horses are fucking expensive to upkeep and they even get special dentists.

How is it a waste if the animal wouldn't have existed in the first place? And who cares if a horse gets killed (in a humane way)? Like seriously it does not even matter if a non-endangered animal that has no value to anyone stops existing. Really I mean who gives a shit.

lol you think animals in zoos are sad? you think they feel confined?

You know zoo animals aren't human, right?

They live in ideal safe conditions with all the food etc. they will ever need. Zoo animals have got it better than most wild animals.

I guess you do have a point there, we do this to cows and pigs and all.....

When animals are considered pets people, tend to place more intrinsic value on them.
