People complain I'm a hypocrite when I complain about animals being shot, the truth is as long as you're going to eat it I don't see the problem. Shooting animals purely for sport is what makes humanity look bad IMO.

I've never eaten horse, I'm not French! I do have issues with things like fox hunting. But maybe I don't care about foxes and just hate the elite?! |

I'm a vegetarian. Veganism just seems impossible.
I understand the point you're making. And I know there's suffering involved with most farm animals. But I do think there's a slight difference between dairy cows and animals bred for human entertainment. P.S. How General Discussion are we? ![]() I think it's one of these subjects that will just never die. I can see both sides. Abortion eh? Should definitely be abolished

Ha why not!
I know. It's almost as if Synchronised was trying to say something ![]() The thing is they reduced the height of the fences to try and improve safety this year. It actually made it worse as the horses approached the jumps at a much greater pace. Quote:

![]() I just got off the phone from my ex who is going back to Spain tomorrow, people don't normally say 'love you very much' to their ex's before they hang up do they? Because I just did. ![]() Are we going to be hearing a tale of a dash to the airport to stop your ex come tomorrow?

If only Synchronised had ran so far that he wouldn't have been able to race, he'd still be alive.
![]() I thought maybe he'd benefit from the warm-up, but obviously not ![]() The whole affair is pretty embarrasing for McCoy, but I'm sure he's gutted. Gold cup winner n' all.. |

Someone in my year at school claimed to have three abortions, and then she got pregnant in year 11 and was morally outraged about them.

I'd rather not associate myself with the GD board, some horrible people there as I've found out the hard way.
![]() ![]() In my defence, I don't venture outside of here very much ! Loving reading the thread tonight, or am I watching the Parliament channel by mistake? If you get to debating the upcoming Winsor Report on police reform, do let me know as I'd like to add my tuppence worth ![]() Oh, and in other news - apparently my mother in law is visiting tomorrow afternoon/evening (what joy - I should be sleeping off a night shift *sighs*) so there may be a last minute postponement of the NF Rejects contest until Monday. I'm sure she'd be chuffed to pieces if I suddenly got up and left the room on the pretence of "having to open a contest for some imaginary people"

The worst thing is he didn't die while part of the race. He fell at fence five, got up again without McCoy and ran on until fence 1 where he fell again, this time breaking his leg.
![]() They need a way of reigning these horses in (and it was a stray that kept running into my Shakalakaboomboom at least 3 times which I blame for him falling away)

![]() ![]() On the topic of horse racing what got me annoyed is that I looked on the trends on twitter and most the people writing about 'banhorseracing' had one direction or bieber in their name ![]() Theres been horse deaths in the grand national since 1839. Something will probably happen though like making it a flat course race or something silly. Swear that no other country in the world moans or overreacts as much as this one haha |

So essentially, you're fine with animal cruelty as long as you can benefit from it?
![]() Quote:
I think it is kind of hypocritical to say, "eat it and it's fine". With horse racing, they're not bred to be shot, it's just an unfortunate thing that happens sometimes. Also, sometimes, humans take a loooooong holiday to Switzerland.

But maybe I don't care about foxes and just hate the elite?! ![]() But as for fox hunting, in my opinion that is in a completely different ball game, any hunting with horses and hounds is just evil IMO. ![]() Quote:

I used to tell my parents that when I have kids my daughter will be named 'Petunia' bearing in mind I was about 8 at the time, I used to stamp my feet and throw tantrums if they suggested otherwise.

And yeah you're right - but I'm very proud of Britain's record in combating animal rights! Far better than most other countries.

![]() Dragon Nan has Parkinson's. Although we had a pub lunch the other week and she didn't drop a single pea. I was quite proud. Not so proud when she asked for mustard and the waiter asked if she wanted French or English and she replied with: "MUSTARD!" Me: "Naaaan, he asked what type?!" Quote:
Well I have my limits, my morals consist of not eating anything cute. My parents run a small business of raising pigs and having them sent off to slaughter so they can sell their pork, I don't see anything wrong with that as they are given a happy life, spoiled rotten and slayed humanly and the outcome is delicious!
