        I think if you went through the process of breeding, raising, racing and retiring a thoroughbred you might come to a different view.

        Come on Brett, that would actually require Bernard to think independently and not tweet for attention.....

        He’s wrong Ben. These animals are bred to do this and they love it. It’s their life. They are loved just like the family dog/cat/chicken.

        Another thing that pisses me off SO MUCH, advertising of gambling on prime time TV (actually at ANY time). Fucking toxic.

        I don’t bet or go to the races, but thoroughbred racehorses are beautiful, unlike most journalists.
