    The owners know the risks of their horses when they put them in the national.

    Have they told the horses ?

    If a jockey falls off and is unable to continue in the festival, but the horse keeps on racing, should the jockey be put down?

    No need for the attacks. I enjoy horse racing and I don't agree with @Anna_Kissed's position on this, but I also want all horses to come home safe and sound. I'm glad that has happened in the GN, I'm sad that isn't always the case.

    You think anyone passionate about animal welfare actually wanted horses to die to prove a point? Utterly embarrassing.

    With all horses coming home safely Anna_Kissed and the like don't get any ammo to fire at horseracing, especially jump racing, so from that point of view they probably feel a sense of disappointment. That's a bit perverse and sad.

    I'm going to refrain from posting at this point because I've had a few pints and I don't want to upset a majority with my bad language, good night.

    Race Horse Death Watch records 1,378 horse deaths since 13th March 2007.
    The facts are plain to see and it is obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense that The Cheltenham 'Festival' and The 'Grand' National are largely about money, domination, and subservience.
    The welfare measures brought in in recent years are due, for the most part, to unceasing pressure from animal advocates. Left to its own devices, The Jockey Club would have continued with the status quo.
    It is clear, also, that the apologists for jump racing are worried about opposition to it. That opposition takes no solace from the news that no horses died at Aintree today. Two died there yesterday, and two on Thursday. Seven died at the Cheltenham Festival last month. How many will die next week, next month?
    Opposition to this so-called sport shall be unceasing.
