Let's play kill another horse!

"Scott Cacciatore will now speak on this matter....you have a uneducated view of this subject.  First of all every trainer and owner LOVES their horses and would never do anything to hurt them..especially when it comes to horses good enough to run in the Kentucky Derby...you speak when you know nothing.  These are horsemen that spend their lives tending to horses..I think they know best.  Also, horses are born to run..they run everyday whether they are on a racetrack or now..these are thoroughbreds...they have to be taken out to run on a daily basis...yes occasionaly something tragic happens like today but thousands of races go off without any injury to any horse....by running these horses we arent abusing them...they love to run...your lost in space buddy.  Actually in the history of horse racing today was the first time that a horse actually b roke both its front legs during or after a race...the FIRST time ever...its just a tragic circumstance...but things like this happens in life..to animals..to humans..everyday...its only blown out of proporation because it happens on such a big stage.  When a race car driver dies during a race do you say we should close down the sport?? when an airplane crashes do you say we should stop all flights? when someone dies in a car accident do you say noone should drive anymore??  your generalized uneducated statements are not impressive...try a little harder next time..i think you can do better"

VERY VERY VERY well said Scott. People who do not have lives try to intervene in everybody elses!

lexington blue.....I have run and grabbed many a protest sign for many a cause! - so I am not just talk....I do..... and more than just protest in an actual protest.....and know re reality....it is just that I refuse to accept other's reality that because there is so much bad we might as well just accept it.

Your post made many valid points and I was glad I read it.  Been to your area and it is indeed lovely.

goiggles....up to your usual insults and including me by name......some people are not capable of maturing and you are proof of that.  Bleeding hearts? Pea brains? your creative and wit level is minus 100....  Pick on someone your own size or are you not able to find someone that small in brain cell amounts.

Talk to the hand!

goiggles.....it is so sad that your spelling is so limited that you have to use initials....and whatever those stand for  probably suit your usual vulgarity....if you are a male that is so pathetic that you are picking on me and if you are a female then that is a whole other perversion.

You are entitled to post and show off your lack of class but quit addressing me directly or indirectly...oh, almost forgot that is what you do best....insult behind the safety of a computer.

LOL I would never want to piss off anyone.  That would be terrible.  But seriously now, that horse really should have gotten some glasses so it could see where it was going.
