Think Tank Is it time to ban greyhound racing and horse racing for good?

How so? You live in atrocious conditions and likelihood is you get eaten anyway.

I've had it both in Bologna and Verona (cooked myself, not at a restaurant). I found it harder to find in other places. They have this hourse mince elsewhere, but it is more like pulled pork than mince.

We had a kitchen so just cooked it like steak. Didnt take long to cook. Didn't tell one person what it was (we knew he wouldn't care anyway) and it just tasted like beef. Maybe a but stronger.

Never had it in a restaurant though. I think I said elsewhere but it seems to be marketed like kangaroo is here. Low fat, high protein. As far as I found it is a niche product, like kangaroo.

How was yours prepared? We bought some sort of fillet and it was fine.

I’d say it’s less common in supermarkets here than kangaroo back home. I don’t recall seeing it on menus in restaurants here.

It was thin sliced fillets, broiled (but I think it was meant to be fried).

I didn't find it as something that was promoted. You had to look for it. I don't notice kangaroo meat these days in WA.

I have been to Norway a couple of times. They still do a bit of whaling (which I am 100% against). As far as I could tell it is dying a natural death, it doesn't seem the locals are that keen. I have never seen it in the shops and even the fancy seafood restaurants didn't serve it. It seems to be a thing for some tourists.

Nice




Melt

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Judging that you’ve chosen to get personal, I can only surmise this is because I’ve hit a nerve with that cat comment.

So how many do you have in that squalid bedsit of yours?

lol I don’t have a cat, was just winding you up

Noice melt though

 

[Stronzo]

Sure pal.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Sure pal.

No no, it really was an excellent melt

 

[Lethality]

Sure pal.

I liked your melt too

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Sure pal.

Well if anyone could recognise a nice melt when they see it, it'd be the B2B MOTY winner.

Interesting statistics.
Over 200,000 horses are killed every year for human consumption.
China produced and slaughtered the most of any country, where one could assume, judging by their dog markets, they aren't treated very well.
But the EU is the biggest produced as a whole, and is the biggest consumer.
Think race horses have it pretty good considering.

Racehorses are bred for speed and muscle.
As a result, their skeletal system is under constant stress

One tenth of all Thoroughbreds suffer orthopedic problems, including fractures.[28] Current estimates indicate that there are 1.5 career-ending breakdowns for every 1,000 horses starting a race in the United States, an average of two horses per day.
Thoroughbreds also have other health concerns, including a majority of animals who are prone to bleeding from the lungs (exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage), 10% with low fertility, and 5% with abnormally small hearts.[28] Thoroughbreds also tend to have smaller hooves relative to their body mass than other breeds, with thin soles and walls and a lack of cartilage mass,[124] which contributes to foot soreness, the most common source of lameness in racehorses.[125]

Selective breedingEdit
One argument for the health issues involving Thoroughbreds suggests that inbreeding is the culprit.[28] It has also been suggested that capability for speed is enhanced in an already swift animal by raising muscle mass, a form of selective breeding that has created animals designed to win horse races.[126] Thus, according to one postulation, the modern Thoroughbred travels faster than its skeletal structure can support.[127] Veterinarian Robert M. Miller states that "We have selectively bred for speeds that the anatomy of the horse cannot always cope with."[128]

Poor breeding may be encouraged by the fact that many horses are sent to the breeding shed following an injury. If the injury is linked to a conformational fault, the fault is likely to be passed to the next generation.

Yes, but then you have plebs that call every comment a melt.

In some estimations I’m really melting down right now. Like Chernobyl style.

 

[Stronzo]

I liked your melt too

Thanks. Let’s have a bet on the doggies to celebrate.

 

[GuzzLG]

There's no whips, cattle prods, bi-carb or live-baiting, and if the golfer loses, he doesn't get shot and put in a hole

Yeah but let’s be honest, if he did it’d make the sport instantly 100 times more watchable.

Complaining that referencing comments you made in another thread is “making it personal” is a melt

This nonsense again. We're against horse racing 365 days a year, it's you plebs that are only paying attention for one week.

Everything is a melt to s**t ferrets with a low self worth and a cleft lip.

And none of that happens in the wild right. Every horse is a perfect specimen without ailments, and each breed just came into existence.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

They’re not selectively bred for racing or put out to stud in the wild, numbnuts

Your parents don’t like you either.

Oh well. At least they’re not cousins like yours

No, they’re brother and sister.
