That's the question. Is horse-racing cruel? People say "horses love to run". Sure, put horses in a pasture, and they'll run around. Trot, canter, gallop, whatever.
How many horses die of injuries sustained while "running" in the pasture for fun? How many die from injuries sustained in racing? I didn't watch the Kentucky Derby. I have no interest in horse racing beyond the fact that I have all of the Black Stallion books (read them when I was young). I'm kinda glad I didn't because I guess they euthanized one of the horses right on the track. -- Rick Root New Brian Vander Ark Album, songs in the music player and cool behind the scenes video at www.myspace.com/brianvanderark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259821 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
