Yet another city has tabled an HSUS-backed ordinance to ban circuses in its city limits. The committee in Newark, OH charged with deciding the proposal’s fate decided not to send it to the full city council. A bi-partisan majority, two Democrats and two Republicans, refrained from seconding the motion to vote, effectively killing the proposed law.
Unfortunately, the local Kiwanis club had already decided to cancel a circus later this summer that was expected to raise thousands for charity.
I am surprised that horse racing still exists. What with the small men with Napoleon complexes WHIPPING the sh*t out noble, gentle, horses … just to win $$$$$. I guess the animal right wimps don’t want to tangle with the off-track bookie mafiosos.
Me too.
But even more so Polo. A truly cruel sport and not just the activity. Racing is peanuts.
…guess it’s okay because the “elites” enjoy it.
What’s with all the PETA comments?
Horse racing is a fine sport, as is bullfighting and the fox hunt.
Rodeo
Those who complain about animal abuse at rodeos really need to attend one. Generally speaking, the animals are having far too much fun.
