The Grand National

Another two horses dead....

There are many wonderful traditions we can be proud of in this country (Britain) the Grand National isn't one of them.

One tradition we can do without.

On the BBC... (One of those who died was the horse, 'Synchronized', joint favourite, who bolted prior to the start of the race)

a friend posted this on fb. pick me to bits, there's holes all over the place, but how can anyone who's not vegetarian or 00% organic, as far as meat goes, speak like it's a shame?

What are you saying? That 'we' should put the death of those horses down as the acceptable 'collateral damage' of a good afternoon's entertainment???
