Kentucky Derby Murder
The horse that came second in yesterday's Kentucky Derby (Eight Belles) was given a lethal injection on the track after apparently breaking down on the gallop back to the winners enclosure. And they call it the Sport of Kings:mad:

LH is clearly a horse-fancier, don't be too hard on him.

Re: Kentucky Derby Murder
It's too bad for Hillary C - she put money on "the only filly in the race" as a campaign stunt..... Mayhaps after Tuesday she'll be killed off, too....

It didn't 'break down', it actually broke both it's front legs. |

Re: Kentucky Derby Murder
Just what is the deal with 'offing' horses when they break a couple of legs?
I can understand that the horse would probably be no good as a racer anymore, but are things really so bad for the horse that the only option is to kill it? Bones mend right? Is there something about equine R&R after having two legs plastered and set that a horse just wont do? Is restraining the animal to ensure bones heal seen as unkind? |
Re: Kentucky Derby Murder
Well,
It turns out that if a horse breaks a 'cannon/canon' bone, it can't be healed - so the most humane thing to do is to put it down. There's a quiz question there somewhere... |
