There was a protest by an animal rights group during this year’s Epsom Derby.
Certainly,forcing an animal that dose not want to run race by using a whip,
could be considered abuse.
However,Thoroughbreds are bone with a natural competitive instinct.
That is precisely why horse racing exists as a sport.
Dogs and cats do not possess the same instinct to compete in races.
That is why racing can not be established with them.
I would like to ask those who claim that horse racing is animal abuse.
You probably enjoy eating  beef,chicken,and pork,describing them as “delicious”.
Dose that not also raise questions about the treatment of animals?
Some sports involve serious injuries and,at times,even death.
It is not only horses that face risks. Jockeys also put their lives on the line
every time they ride.
Jockeys are trained to stop immediately and dismount if they sense that
something is wrong with their horse.
In the UK,there are strict limits on the number of times
a whip may be used during a race.
As a horseman who loves both horses and horse racing,I would like to say this.
Horse racing is not animal abuse.
