Should have been banned a long time ago.
Despicable barbaric act of animal cruelty that's glorified year after year
Humans are hypocrites for sure. If you think the Grand National is bad, don't go to watch a bull fight.

I will be using the same strategy as always; A combination of names I like and mid to long range odds going each way on the morning. I have never failed to make my small outlay back :) But then I cap myself at £50.
 
Going for 25p each way on Twigg, that's about my limit for donating to bookmakers retirement funds

I do find myself in 2 minds with the Grand National, but to be fair I doubt the vast majority going to or betting on the National will ever have been to or considered going to a bull fight.
 
Got a ticket below face value from twickets for Saturday.

Panic Attack - the Skeltons, I am going for.

If you are concerned about deplorable acts of cruelty, then the Grand National is not where you should be focusing your efforts. I see Polanski is also jumping on the bandwagon for a little political showboating as well.

I suspect that you know very little about horse racing and horse welfare apart from what you read on your social media feed.

While your concern regarding animal cruelty is admirable, you should really be focusing on serious animal cruelty like dog fighting, cockfighting, badger baiting and puppy mills (and bullfighting).
Make an effort to seek them out and go and stop them..........but of course that would require a little backbone, so I guess the easier option is something like the Grand National. With the National you can complain about it, while at the same time ignoring actual serious and unregulated animal cruelty.

Although I love horses and horse racing, there are many other races apart from the Grand National that I'm more interested in. I have no objection to the many changes that have been made to the race, but in terms of a test for a horse, it's a shadow of the race it once was. Whether that's good or bad for the race is another question.

Correct me if I am wrong, but dog fighting, cockfighting and badger baiting are all illegal in the UK and those organising such events are dealt with by the law. Bull fighting? Where does that take place in the UK?
Those opposing the National are correct in (in my humble opinion and Morrissey's too), in seeking this race to be added to the list of banned "sporting" events in the UK.

They are indeed illegal Mad Eyed Screamer, but infinitely more cruel than ever horse racing could ever be.

Bullfighting.....see earlier comments.

If people really do have a concern for animal cruelty, then searching it out and dealing with it or notifying the police should be on their agenda.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but there is far more serious animal cruelty happening around the country than horse racing, so stop those first.
