Is the grand National cruel and should it be banned?

I’ve never seen a fox as a pet, so it throws Patricia’s usual bullsit out of the window.

and ive never seen a race horse as one either :?

Alot of racehorses are treated better than the trainers families pebbles but you are just proving your ignorance with that statement.

The inconsistencies and hypocrisy of ‘animal lovers’ staggers me.

no your right sword but to be fair it is an animal, but if a pet dog bit or killed your child it would be put to sleep without thinking, a fox bites and kills sheep, chicken and the like and its acceptable because they are only animals right ?? thats where the arguement gets lost.
A fox is allowed to kill livestock but we are not allowed to kill it , a dog kills our child it suddenly becomes ok to kill that dog. Aperson harms or kills someones pet they will be arrested and prosecuted for it,there is too many inconsistencies in the arguements

There is a remarkable difference between a wild animal doing what comes naturally than a trained domestic pet.

But your right there are many inconsistancies when it comes to the animal world.

I know what you mean Sharon but a fox natural prey is rabbits voles hares etc etc not lambs and chickens but they are opportunists, and the trouble is on that vein a domestic dogd natural instinct to bite in fear or protection is also a natural behaviour, it is only the domesticating that prevents it happening, a stray or even domestic dog will kill a pet rabbit given the chance because it is also natural, so yes many inconsistencies all round

Says the person that has undoubetedly eaten meat in her life time. Keep digging the hole pebbles.
