    I'd love to have a horse as a pet, if I have enough money and a stable, etc.

    I'd nurse the horse back to health and let his leg mend like you would a human beings.

    A horse's leg is nothing like a human being's, it will not mend, it is humane termination in those cases, ask a vet.

    I think that anyone who gets enjoyment out of watching animals outrun each other is a bit touched in the head. If they are so into 'sport' why not run themselves the fat gits? Also, greyhound racing does seem to attract a fair amount of scumbags with no respect for animals. It's like horse racing for poor people.

    Also, to whoever is saying that an animal life is not the same as a human, you're missing the point. It's about a respect for life - anyone who kills an animal for pleasure or because they are an inconvenience is a pretty sub-normal human being. As my old buddy Gandhi once said you can judge a nation on how it treats it's animals.

    Everytime I reach the end of a long trip in the car, we call into the local Parish Priest's house so he can bless the front bumper and we pray for the souls of the dearly departed bugs. The windscreen gets a splash of the oul holy water too. It's a beautiful scene.

    It's not legitimate until they start using tiny jocky monkeys.

    You'd really have to wonder why we have a state-subsidized greyhound racing industry.

    It's a very odd state of affairs, to put it mildly.
    Its no different from bullfighting, If the authorities hadn't stepped in with recent legislation regarding dog identification we would probably see a lot more of these cases.

    God knows how many dogs have been butchered in this manner down through the years and we are not [URL="[url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/jan/01/spain.animalwelfare[/url]"]alone[/URL]
