Words fail me

Really sorry to hear that Mike, really can't understand why anyone would do it.

Sorry, gambling on events with animals can cause cruelty to the animals that no longer make a profit.

Gambling causes misery to thousands of people as well.

Where’s the evidence to back your statement up?

Horses and greyhounds that don’t make the grade don’t get harmed, unless you’ve got lots of evidence to prove otherwise?

I agree that gambling causes misery to a minority of people but that’s a complete different debate all together.

Just look into it for yourself.

No, you’ve made a statement and I’ve challenged you, you must have evidence to post such guff unless it’s just an opinion?

This was definitely not gambling related. Our horse hadn’t seen a racecourse yet and wouldn’t have done so for another year.

Just read this on the racing post, absolutely shocking, hopefully the perpetrators are caught and severely punished.

Have you got any hard evidence that animals that no longer make a profit are harmed?

Its a bit of a sweeping statement.

My cousin ran a stables down in Oxfordshire and the horses were very well looked after, was like a 5 Star hotel for horses.

Shocking and disgusting

 

[clubchamp98]

Kids messing about or DELIBARATE arson .
Horrible way to go .
hope they are caught and punished .

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

crap - just crap

(nb mods - just think dice betting game in the singular)

 

[patricks148]

Hope the scumbags are caught, very sad to read this.

yep pretty sickening someone could do this.

As some of you may know I had a share in a racehorse, Dream Alliance, who was bred on an allotment in the Welsh valleys by Jan (a cleaner at Asda) and her husband Brian. The horse exceeded all expectations and won Wales' biggest race the Welsh Grand National in 2009. The story was the subject of a documentary film Dark Horse that a few of you may have seen.

They bred another horse, Impossible Dream, who was born in the Spring of 2015 and he and his mother Juwireya stayed in a stable at the allotment. Juwireya won a race for us last year at Stratford and Impossible Dream was to join Philip Hobbs' racing stable in 2018.

This morning some sick individual(s) set fire to the stable and Impossible Dream was killed and his mother has suffered severe burns.

I just cannot comprehend what motivates someone to do this and above all my heart goes out to Jan and Brian who give such care and attention to their horses.

As per another Thread, Bring back the death penalty

 

[Jensen]

Totally sick. I hope the same things happen to them.

My initial thoughts are jealousy/and or competitors.

Can't understand anyone being so cruel

And the people that did this will probably just get a slap on the wrist - if it's kids, they will be protected & then given everything. As per the other thread, there is no deterrent when the 'prisoners' are better looked after than the elderly in nursing homes or war heroes.
The human race is wicked
