Jump Racing >.<

That's true. Like horses the horses too slow for flat-racing, some horses will be rejected from jumps racing.

But still, without jumps racing, the horses rejected from flat-racing don't have that extra 'safety net' that prevents them from going straight to the slaughter house. They have the chance to get through the jumps racing circuit and then retire - therefore not being slaughtered.

I really hope someone has thought about this before starting the 'ban jumps racing' campaign. I think maybe we should have focussed on all horse racing before jumps racing - we'd be saving, in theory, many more horses.

I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this order of events (ban jumps then ban all horse racing)... at least I hope so..

alright im am so confused now, i feel like we are just going around in a big circle.

Maybe they should just limit the foals bred per season, so there will be less rejected race horse??

I am seriously starting to freak out now too.

The 'ban jumps racing' campaign is doing more bad for horses than good!

okay lets just agree to disagree

....

jump racing is cruel to horses,
                  but without it there would be more unnecessary deaths?



cause now i am really confused, i only started this stpid forum because of that youtube girl who wa providing wrong information. (cept the reject race horse thing)

Exactly! I have no idea what the campagin for an end to jumps racing hopes to achieve now.

oh, so we kind of ruined it for all those protestors then??

oops, my bad ... ohwell, no they can start on rodeos

I hope not. They put in a lot of work. I can't imagine there would be such a simple flaw to the whole campaign anyway.

I'm sure any minute someone will comment here what I'm hoping for (Why are we trying to ban jumps racing?!)

I think I'm gonna start a new thread if we still get no answers.

alright then, i'll comment yours (Y)

yeah this forum is pretty much dead now anyways..

what are you talking about??
