#KillRacingNotHorses

California alone has already had 20+ horse deaths this year at only 3 tracks. No legitimate sport would accept the deaths of their athletes on a routine and consistent schedule, as just a fact of life.

Is that rate significantly different from other working horses? No other sport has athletes who can die of a stuffy nose.

‘athletes’ is pretty anthropromorphic here.

When horses are able to launch a protest about poor working conditions, then it might come up as a point on the agenda worldwide.

Dead horse best horse. Have you tried their meat? Delicious! I don’t get why we waste it for entertainment.

Luckily in my country there are people who regularly harass entertainment stables until they get closed and horses get sold to butcher.

  Horse meat is incredible. The horse breeders where i live actually sell the meat rather than burning it. Win-win. They get to breed incredible horses, we get food.

  Horse meat is illegal in the US.

    Horses are amazing eco-friendly solution to most small-scale labor and transportation needs. However, they are also very easy to force out. All you need to do is pay a bunch of dumb animal-protection nuts to constantly protest their use. This is how electric cars operate in my country - by sending horses from work to meat processing.
