Think Tank Is it time to ban greyhound racing and horse racing for good?

[Lethality]

I'll probably stand on the train tracks to Flemington tomorrow to disrupt the services there.

Be careful though !

Why does Chief allow this advertisement for animal abuse to be on the front page of bigfooty? I dont blame Chief, he is just an individual trying to make ends meet in a horrible system, but I think encouraging gambling on animal abuse industry is not something he should be enabling.

 

[JimmyBC]

Yes! if you banned the greyhounds Hinkley would be too depressed to coach and would gtfo of my club.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Natural progression to ban it. What animals are in circuses anymore?

 

[Coach_Required]

Hard to go past the favourite for the cup tomorrow, Incentivise. I also like the look of Tralee Rose.

What is everyone else on?

 

[Crabapplepittard]

Selino each way at a price. Hope all the racing fans that have been through hell with the lockdowns etc. have a great day.
To all the pretend SJW’s that still live at home and are doing pre-apprenticeships at tafe: get absolutely ****ed. No one cares, this is the bay. And this is Australia. **** RIGHT OFF!

Unfortunately if you ban racing legally, it will go underground, where the animals will be treated even more poorly and inhumane.

I am not a gambling man and I ain't going going watxh the Melbourne Cup tomorrow, but I reluctant accept it for what it is, the highlight for me is seeing all the wasted bogans and their girlfriends being escorted out without their shoes/high heels afterwards each year at Flemington.

Dennis Pagan can certainly lay claim to training wild animals to peak on the big day. Archer, Carey, johny get angry in the Cup??

Underground racing is not possible really, people would know.
People will just have to learn how to bet on sport.

I think eventually it will be replaced with virtual racing.
Personally, I'd like to see this:

 

[Iskender Time]

I understand gambling is an important cultural pastime, but you can gamble on sports 24hrs a day now, even I have experienced the highs and the lows of gambling on the fixed challenger circuit of tennis.
But gambling on animals? What's next ? Racing ducks and ferrets?

Gambling isn’t an important cultural pastime.

OK, boomer.

One pony has already been scratched from the Race ! (Future Score)

 

[LightTower4]

$15 each way on Oceans Billy.
Got $81 on Sports bet.

I’d like to see Derek and Clive call that!

 

[Doggies1972]

They’re not selectively bred for racing or put out to stud in the wild, numbnuts

Ah yes, inbreeding is much better for the species as a whole

Is racing dogs for prize money and gambling revenue acceptable in this day and age?
45 dogs have been put down this year after breaking their legs in races.
A few years ago they found 100 dead greyhounds in a hole because they couldnt run 400m in 25 seconds.
Not to mention live baiting, a disgusting practice.

On to horse racing.
You could win $1.3 million in prize money but still end up with a bolt through your head if you slow down a little.
The prince of horse racing, Chautauqua, made a stand and refused to race or be whipped.
Is Chautauqua the Spartacus of the modern age?
How many horse trainers haven't done something dodgy to their horses eg bi-carb of soda down the throat?

The great Chautauqua refusing to race for idiots and money hungry bogans.

Wont be banned because of $$$

But lets strip it down and be honest - horse racing is a gigantic wankfest.

Yawn.
Are you offended that people want racing animals to be banned?
Things move on and change, you're holding on to the past just like people who watch the Hey Hey it's Saturday comeback shows.
