Hi dear

Animal Rights supporter doesn't mean extremist who agonizes over everything. The horse was already dead when it's tail was hacked off - it didn't feel any pain. This would be the equivelant of somebody selling a lock of George Best's hair. Even if Besty was dead at the time, he wouldn't feel or say anything so why should anybody give a sh!t?

I'm looking at my beloved dog at the moment and I'm thinking two things;- When I give that dog a bath, I'm killing fleas but if I'm honest with you, I can't force myself to feel terrible about it. When he dies (that will devastate me for a bit I guess) I'm not against using his body to create some dusty soily substance over a long long period of time.

Our membership on a racing forum has incited a grand total of zero people to follow and support racing. Unless a fellow forumite threatens to top him/herself if we leave this forum then we can't really be held responsible for sustaining the sport. As a matter of fact, my sidekick went on such an anti-racing tirade in some other place that he doesn't bother turning up there anymore (he retired from there to focus on resuming his racing career). If that anti-racing tirade shifted somebodies philosophy to the extent that they're going to run on the Aintree turf this Saturday just before the off then our membership of forums couldn't be interpreted as anything like supporting horse racing.

I choose not to kick off here because whilst it would be interesting-ish to begin with, it gets very boring in no time. But to clarify to those who question my position, I think horse racing and the way it's ran sucks. But it isn't going away anytime soon so whilst it's still here, I may as well see how long I can reign supreme as Champion Hurdler.

That Fred Winter gun, now that's some mad sh!t!
