spooky3 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 How many athletes will be shot on the course at the Olympics? All I ask, if they fall and hurt themselves, don't just shoot them! They have a responsibility of care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I've seen horses just use three legs! It'd surely be kinder not to slaughter them straight away, every time! Here's the reason.

Glamrocker Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I bet you think Red Rum is on his own Island, relaxing by the pool, sipping Bollinger, with a string of fillies by his flank, don't you? Time this was stopped. What use would a string of fillies be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Two dead so far ffs Which is very sad. However one of them had just won the gold cup and a big stack of cash for the owners, which sort of illustrates that even if money is no object if a horse breaks it's leg it's curtains. If they weren't going to save this one (synchronised ?) it can't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyjackson Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 According to pete and syncronised have both been destroyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Two dead so far ffs I've only heard about 1 so far... There was drama ahead of the race when last year's winner Synchronised parted company with jockey Tony McCoy on the way to the start. The pair were reunited and started the race but fell at Becher's Brook on the first circuit and the horse suffered a fatal injury. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/17453652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglersvista Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 What a fantastic race! I love this sport, this was a brilliant advert for the second highest spectator sporting event in Britain. Great, loved it. Oh, yes, two horses died. Sorry about that, it's not nice. How many cows, sheep, chickens, pigs died to be able for you to have a pleasant day yesterday, today, tomorrow?
