nod Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The Govt is changing the law -it will be O K to smack your kid twice before 5 pm and no more than 5 strickes after 5 pm but at intervals of 1/2 an hour. Opposition arguments that it is either o k to hit a kid or not o k have been ignored. Seems one can be half pregnant NZTR face a similar dilemma concerning the whipping of horses -they may realize that the World has changed and figure that their industry may soon face charges of animal abuse/ After all, anyone taking a whip to a dog or cat would be charged. Arguments that the whip does not hurt the horse would be met by the question "then why bother?" There is a very simple solution-ban the use of whips, it would be much better for public perception and a likely improver of the NZ breeding industry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguments that the whip does not hurt the horse would be met by the question "then why bother?" Why bother? Doesn't it make them go faster? According to @Thomass two strikes equal 1/2 a length faster. If it hurts them why would they go faster? Be very careful what you wish for @nod it is the thin end of the wedge for the very small minority of activists. You example of taking a whip to a dog or cat is extreme. A padded whip striking a 500kg animal is hardly a comparison with a dog or cat! As for the "World has changed" - has it? I thought it took a majority to change the world or is it those who yell and protest loudest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 In my opinion the biggest animal welfare issue in NZ Racing is the state of the tracks that we force them to gallop on. Not far behind is the skill of those sitting on top of the horses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does racing horses at full speed further than they are designed to do on shyte tracks with crap riders hurt them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real, the world has only changed in the mashed up brains of the woke. And the Western World is collapsing under the weight of wokes. Look at Biden, Macron, Adern, Trudeau, Mercal, Scotmo. Woke bastards the lot of them, and all in charge of collapsing countries. Banning whip use, dog racing, rodeo's etc are all woke bullshit being perpetuated by the minority of unintelligent low IQ wokes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 And speaking of the cane, it needs to be brought back along with the strap for school kids. Will agree with Noddy on the caged chooks and caged pigs, but thats about all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems obvious to me . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about dogs chasing fake rabbits? Whips or no whips the bunny huggers won't stop thoroughbred racing, there's no better sight than a champion racehorse in full flight.
