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.....

Are you vegan?

Uh oh, Bernard, I think you're being set up for a clever "so you're against this but you'll still enjoy a steak?"
-
It’s just a little bit hypocritical isn’t?? How many cows DIE everyday so you meat eaters can have a bbq?
-
So is Bernard right or wrong about horse racing?
-
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.
-
Ok. That’s a much better argument than the meat-eater one

@7horseracing Agree, but what a difficult message to get across. I can't see an end in sight to this godawful "sport".
-
Especially when governments get so much tax money from the gambling
-
Another thing that pisses me off SO MUCH, advertising of gambling on prime time TV (actually at ANY time). Fucking toxic.
-
I came back to Australia after 7 or so years in Asia a year ago. I couldn't believe all the gambling ads. It is totally fucking toxic
-
October-November is glorious in Melbourne, consistently ruined by horse whipping season

Come on Bernard nobody loves animals more than i do they don't 'flog' these animals they have a pretty good life far better than in a zoo

You can keep tweeting people that article, but given it is full of factual errors it doesn’t really help your cause

I don’t bet or go to the races, but thoroughbred racehorses are beautiful, unlike most journalists.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Always thought you were sensible but this is a total lie and complete nonsense. What next, a ban on the Olympics?
-
Total BS

Your attempt at a refute is lacking in substance.
