Garbage, I've seen horses whipped to the floor back in my childhood (and there was nothing I could do to stop it). A prey animal can very definitely be beaten into submission, or scared/coerced in other ways. Horses do things they don't want to do on a daily basis, if you think they don't you haven't been around them. If you, for example, had a piece of metal sitting against and hurting your tongue and the bars of your jaw, would you think twice about turning in the direction you would prefer to go? A chain under your chin, perhaps? If we're going to have this conversation, at least let's be honest about it.
Go and break a 2-year-old for the track, then come back and tell me whether they want to run or whether we condition them to run. I've done it many times and I can tell you it's the latter. There's an innate desire to run with the herd, sure, but we capitalise on that and force an animal to run far beyond their comfort level.
I suggest that they jump out in front of the horses when running at 30 miles an hour. Then jump in front of cars traveling at 70 mph on the motorway. Then these people will receive 100% of my support to carry on their protests.

@@davidreed9671 , screw you David, I am not a liar. Simply Google 'Jockey Uses Electric Shock' and see for yourself. I've worked in the industry, spend every day with horses and have done for the past 50 years, but what do I know?
I used to break and exercise racehorses too. Granted, they have the best exercise levels and nutrition to keep them at their peak, but horses needs are more complex than that; they are stabled far more than an average riding horse, thereby being starved of the natural behaviours they need to keep them mentally healthy, such as mutual grooming and contact with other horses. These things are essential for ther overall wellbeing. If I had a dog, fed it the best quality foods and took it out for 2 good runs a day but the rest of the time it was caged and isolated, it would still be considered cruelty.
@@evieblessed ....but no racehorse is stabled for twelve months of the year, only when they are in training, national hunt horses are out in the field during the summer, flat horses are rugged up and outside during the winter. Lot's of trainers these days have their horses outside in a paddock for hours even during the period they are in training, my experience is that racehorses in general enjoy life .
I worked in racing too and for a retired racehorse charity. There are so many horses (not the racehorses) that are mistreated, rspca cases, why dont these people go and help those horses and ponies.
That's not true, the animals are forced to race and jump by conditioning. Given the choice, they would pull up or avoid the obstacle. We've all seen the "training" techniques.
The Grand National has been made easier. Some of the fences have been adjusted for safety reasons.Less horses die than before. If the ground is too dry it gets watered well in advance of the race, preventing the worst injuries. Jockeys are more professional than before, including lady jockeys, some of whom are top notch, such as Rachel Blackmore. Horses can get injured on gallops or while racing-sure, but racing has done it's level best to reduce incidents. Eating meat is good for a balanced diet. We cannot live on salad 24/7.

Go and sit with this wimp in the corner and suck your thumbs! The rest of us will get on with living. PS: I have oat milk with mine MY CHOICE !!!!!
I’d say that even humans incur a similar risk in combat or high impact sports. The race horses do not exactly have a choice in the same way a person does, but they are fed and given as much luxury at a high cost, and usually the care takers of the horses and even the riders show and develop a lot of love for the horses. In comparison to wild horses, they are protected from predators that actually may eat them alive being a race horse.
These types of people are so self-righteous. If tomorrow we stopped eating and using animals, what do they imagine would happen to all of these now useless animals? Perhaps retire to some airy fairy place were they could live peacefully until they die. In reality there would be mass death - because no-one would spend the huge amount of money needed to keep animals if they got nothing out of it. On the plus side the mass killing would satisfy the extinction rebellion people because they are convinced that farm animals are a huge contributor to greenhouse gasses - which in return would upset the vegan animal rights activists and then hopefully both groups would fight each other

Have you ever seen horses before a race? They are fit and eager. They love it. They, unlike the jockey, are not thinking of the dangers. If they were, they would refuse to move. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. " A horse is stronger than a man.
these people dont really care about them....when john mcricrick had a debate with a RSPCA man on the week of the national the RSPCA wrote an email saying he hoped horses would die to enhance their cause....they dont care behind closed doors....when he was quizzed he said thats not what he meant...i read it and it was exactly what he meant
These horses are looked after better then some people look after there own kids . They are worth millions some are . This guy clearly has never been to a working farm or horse stables
Hiya. Actually, it made a surprising change to hear an activist have a 'you speak, then me' conversation/debate instead of a continuous 'me only' screaming match. Mind you, I still hope the protest fails on the day - I'm going to have money on it! Stay safe. All the best to you.
The presenter clearly loves the sound of her own voice and barely let him speak. I never understand why these shows do that, invite someone on and then try and belittle them or don't let them air their opinion.
Non Violence? So theres 32 horses thundering down the straight, these jokers dash out and form a human chain, the horses at the front are pulled up, horses at the back don't. Jocky's are thrown, horses trip and trample over jocky's and horses. Horses and their riders killed. These people are sick, insane and criminal.
Horse racing doesn't interest me, but while working in Greyhound racing, i saw the dogs were never happier than when they were at the track, they just loved it.
Horses have evolved to run; fast. They bond with trainers and riders. Particularly athletic horses love running. putting horses down is a tragedy to all concerned but doing it humanly is right.
Stop giving these clowns air time, and the police should stop over protecting them, let the crowd who just wanted to have a bit of sport sort them out.
Animal abuse at its finest . It’s quite pathetic how people don’t make the human connection that animals aren’t here for our entertainment . No shocker here .. same old pathetic excuses . Leave animals Alone
@@sly6627 they won't be racing though... How do other horses get looked after who aren't forced to race? Retire them and let them live without fear of being injured or killed prematurely for entertainment purposes.
...and what happens to the horses (that the jockeys speak so highly of) after they are considered too old/not fast enough for racing (still relatively young horses)? A minority will possibly be used for breeding. I assume (correct me if I’m wrong) the rest end up in slaughter houses 😔
ok then ill correct you ,most horses older than 3 are geldings therefore unable to breed and have a racing career upto 10 years on the flat and up to12 over jumps , some owners will keep them as pets others get sold for horse riding schools hardly any will be slaughtered. Also the ones for breeding are worth millions and will sire foals for the rest of their lives and live in luxury [horse standard] at stud farms.
Once an animal is no longer farmed , the breed disappears. Once horses are no longer ridden or used for sport, they will disappear. Is this what you want? The jockeys also risk their lives. How about them? It is impossible to make a horse jump or race if he does not want to. I can assure you the horses who perform are very willing to do so. When a horse or jockey gets hurt or dies it is a tragedy for all those who know and love them. But I do agree that the Grand National is a very, very challenging race. I would not mind if it were a little easier. But then athletes like challenges.
I get where this guy is coming from, although he's not selling his organisation ideals very well👎 I'm personally not a fan of horse racing, in general. I get it, in the UK and elsewhere, horse racing is a Billion £ industry. In the grand scheme of things (pun intended) horse racing, is small change. Despite Ukraine, famines, natural disasters, Brexit, migrants, Trans issues, totally occupy our media, so having a flutter on a bunch of highly strung horses, galloping across some fences, isn't going to get much leverage in the media. I do believe though, the horse racing fraternity in the UK are very coy, when explaining, what happens to 'Red Rum, Sea Biscuit, Black Beauty etc' when they can't make the grade or the cost of their injuries, exceed their value... The ole knackers yard beckons. Or as our French & German Allies say, 'Chevaline and chips please,' medium rare and with a twist.😂 Yum, yum 🙄🍽️
"Many animals eat other animals!" Silence followed so deafening that I could hear the guy's absence of an argument from his brain. Take that for a defense of not eating animals. How cruel for the animals to eat others and how unfair. Could he beat it down that one? Nope. He was left with only "yeaaah!" I mus say the way she puts down these creatures is a totally different level of debate and I enjoy it learning quite a great deal from her. She doesn't even conceal or prevent the chance of these protesters' claims to be on the table and validate them. But she uses them to make them come back at them and bite where it hurts the most: their self sufficiency and security that they are right and never be wrong and tht they bring about a greater good which we ought to rather sooner accept it....or else. She doesn't seem to fight them at all while you see they are knocked off without them knowing where the hit came from. And all that with such a great smile on her face.

I don't like the way that they're do it ethier feels more dictating..these ppl aren't thinking straight, their putting others in danger including the horses, if their to get in the way of a horse at national that could be drastic, for what? to get there point across..cause we all know it don't help anyone but create problems for others, the government is use to protests, it's everyday in London.

@@uniquevideosUk forgive me, I didn't really understand your point.
Eating meat is not a necessity for survival, certainly not in this country. How do you morally justify eating it when you could simply eat something else?
Do you agree animal cruelty is wrong?
Oh julie horses do have a choice believe me. If a horse does not want to run they dont, u sometimes get a horse refusing to run and nothing can be done about it. A horse is a lot more powerful than a little chap with a heavily padded strap on him lol
Yes, that's why jockeys use hidden electric shockers and whips...
@@evieblessed liar, they don't
@@evieblessed lol are you for real? Electric shocks lol????? That would make the horse run straight and true wouldnt it lol? If a horse is hurt by anything it becomes unpredictable and will jink and throw , that is not what anyone wants in a race when he is running at 30mph lol i have never ever heard such crap as you have just come out with .
They are forced to jump, given the choice they wouldn't do it.
If those horses didn't have a small man on their back, do you think they would happily run the course jumping over the obstacles?
@@davidreed9671 , screw you David, I am not a liar. Simply Google 'Jockey Uses Electric Shock' and see for yourself. I've worked in the industry, spend every day with horses and have done for the past 50 years, but what do I know?
I used to ride racehorse for a living, they are pampered equine athletes who have a good life, make no mistake they love running.
I used to break and exercise racehorses too. Granted, they have the best exercise levels and nutrition to keep them at their peak, but horses needs are more complex than that; they are stabled far more than an average riding horse, thereby being starved of the natural behaviours they need to keep them mentally healthy, such as mutual grooming and contact with other horses. These things are essential for ther overall wellbeing. If I had a dog, fed it the best quality foods and took it out for 2 good runs a day but the rest of the time it was caged and isolated, it would still be considered cruelty.
@@evieblessed ....but no racehorse is stabled for twelve months of the year, only when they are in training, national hunt horses are out in the field during the summer, flat horses are rugged up and outside during the winter.
Lot's of trainers these days have their horses outside in a paddock for hours even during the period they are in training, my experience is that racehorses in general enjoy life .
I worked in racing too and for a retired racehorse charity. There are so many horses (not the racehorses) that are mistreated, rspca cases, why dont these people go and help those horses and ponies.
@@dinatolding2826 .... because they won't get the publicity they crave.
That's not true, the animals are forced to race and jump by conditioning. Given the choice, they would pull up or avoid the obstacle.
We've all seen the "training" techniques.
Since animal rebellion is ant horse racing I think I'll start watching it
He sounds as thick as he looks.
The Grand National has been made easier. Some of the fences have been adjusted for safety reasons.Less horses die than before. If the ground is too dry it gets watered well in advance of the race, preventing the worst injuries. Jockeys are more professional than before, including lady jockeys, some of whom are top notch, such as Rachel Blackmore. Horses can get injured on gallops or while racing-sure, but racing has done it's level best to reduce incidents. Eating meat is good for a balanced diet. We cannot live on salad 24/7.
This guys got nothing , horses arnt forced to race, if he bothered to actually watch racing he wouid see horses refusing to set off regulary
The horses wouldn’t exist without racing.
Thats such a superficial and, if I may, callous understanding of the issue Im tempted to ask if that was an attempt at humour?

I’d say that even humans incur a similar risk in combat or high impact sports. The race horses do not exactly have a choice in the same way a person does, but they are fed and given as much luxury at a high cost, and usually the care takers of the horses and even the riders show and develop a lot of love for the horses. In comparison to wild horses, they are protected from predators that actually may eat them alive being a race horse.
Put them U A T Wall!!
Who let all this riff raff into the room!?
These types of people are so self-righteous. If tomorrow we stopped eating and using animals, what do they imagine would happen to all of these now useless animals? Perhaps retire to some airy fairy place were they could live peacefully until they die. In reality there would be mass death - because no-one would spend the huge amount of money needed to keep animals if they got nothing out of it. On the plus side the mass killing would satisfy the extinction rebellion people because they are convinced that farm animals are a huge contributor to greenhouse gasses - which in return would upset the vegan animal rights activists and then hopefully both groups would fight each other
Just look at this man's eyes. You can see he is missing a faculty.
No, this look is when you've had to explain thousands of times to ignorant people why unnecessarily harming animals is a bad thing. Its almost like the UK population agree that animal cruelty is acceptable.

there is a void in that tools eyes .wonder what happened to him
Julia. Why do wish to offend this young man? By saying "but i like eating animals" very kindergarten
Presenter has clearly never heard an argument against her position before. The smugness when she said lions eat other animals was embarrassing.
I think the lad needs to eat more meat
Why aren’t they doing this in a Spanish bullring
He was quite likeable, which is unusual for that group! X
I havent eaten meat for about 25yrs, but would never force my opinions on anyone else, and would never protest about other people eating meat
Start sending these zealots to jail
Have you ever seen horses before a race? They are fit and eager. They love it. They, unlike the jockey, are not thinking of the dangers. If they were, they would refuse to move. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. " A horse is stronger than a man.
these people dont really care about them....when john mcricrick had a debate with a RSPCA man on the week of the national the RSPCA wrote an email saying he hoped horses would die to enhance their cause....they dont care behind closed doors....when he was quizzed he said thats not what he meant...i read it and it was exactly what he meant
and that national one horse did die so you had the RSPCA jumping with joy and the owner trainer groom distraught
These horses are looked after better then some people look after there own kids . They are worth millions some are . This guy clearly has never been to a working farm or horse stables
Welcome to the world of activists, this is what passes for education
Hiya. Actually, it made a surprising change to hear an activist have a 'you speak, then me' conversation/debate instead of a continuous 'me only' screaming match. Mind you, I still hope the protest fails on the day - I'm going to have money on it! Stay safe. All the best to you.
Isn't that basically what Piers Morgan and other presenters do?
The presenter clearly loves the sound of her own voice and barely let him speak. I never understand why these shows do that, invite someone on and then try and belittle them or don't let them air their opinion.
If you were one of those race horses, would you not want to be spoken up for?
Save the animals and eat a vegan

Non Violence? So theres 32 horses thundering down the straight, these jokers dash out and form a human chain, the horses at the front are pulled up, horses at the back don't. Jocky's are thrown, horses trip and trample over jocky's and horses.
Horses and their riders killed. These people are sick, insane and criminal.
Horse racing doesn't interest me, but while working in Greyhound racing, i saw the dogs were never happier than when they were at the track, they just loved it.
Horses have evolved to run; fast. They bond with trainers and riders. Particularly athletic horses love running. putting horses down is a tragedy to all concerned but doing it humanly is right.
They're in awe of the IRA, let that sink in.
Don't turn up at the Derby 🤦🏼♀️
The fence heights are ridiculous they don’t jump them they trash trough them .
Hopefully, the horses will sort them out when they run into these absolute idiots.
Stop giving these clowns air time, and the police should stop over protecting them, let the crowd who just wanted to have a bit of sport sort them out.
Animal abuse at its finest . It’s quite pathetic how people don’t make the human connection that animals aren’t here for our entertainment . No shocker here .. same old pathetic excuses . Leave animals Alone

Ive worked at a zoo, in racing, and a few pet shelters. Im with the activists on this.

Because the issue is animal exploitation, which is something 99.9% of the population partake in, and not just muslims.
If the horse did not want to race or even accept having rider it categorically would not follow riders introductions or allow rider on back.
Horses dont let you on their back at first. we make them do it anyway. Its called "learned helplessness"
Using horses for our pleasure is sad and outdated.
....Benny boy's posh parents must be so proud.....
...and what happens to the horses (that the jockeys speak so highly of) after they are considered too old/not fast enough for racing (still relatively young horses)? A minority will possibly be used for breeding. I assume (correct me if I’m wrong) the rest end up in slaughter houses 😔
ok then ill correct you ,most horses older than 3 are geldings therefore unable to breed and have a racing career upto 10 years on the flat and up to12 over jumps , some owners will keep them as pets others get sold for horse riding schools hardly any will be slaughtered. Also the ones for breeding are worth millions and will sire foals for the rest of their lives and live in luxury [horse standard] at stud farms.
Nicola. They don't all end up slaughtered. They are sold on to be ridden , but no longer raced.
Well you can't let the French starve.
Once an animal is no longer farmed , the breed disappears. Once horses are no longer ridden or used for sport, they will disappear. Is this what you want? The jockeys also risk their lives. How about them? It is impossible to make a horse jump or race if he does not want to. I can assure you the horses who perform are very willing to do so. When a horse or jockey gets hurt or dies it is a tragedy for all those who know and love them. But I do agree that the Grand National is a very, very challenging race. I would not mind if it were a little easier. But then athletes like challenges.
So what damage to the planet has happened because of the chemicals from the dye in his hair?
I get where this guy is coming from, although he's not selling his organisation ideals very well👎
I'm personally not a fan of horse racing, in general.
I get it, in the UK and elsewhere, horse racing is a Billion £ industry.
In the grand scheme of things (pun intended) horse racing, is small change.
Despite Ukraine, famines, natural disasters, Brexit, migrants, Trans issues, totally occupy our media, so having a flutter on a bunch of highly strung horses, galloping across some fences, isn't going to get much leverage in the media.
I do believe though, the horse racing fraternity in the UK are very coy, when explaining, what happens to 'Red Rum, Sea Biscuit, Black Beauty etc' when they can't make the grade or the cost of their injuries, exceed their value...
The ole knackers yard beckons.
Or as our French & German Allies say, 'Chevaline and chips please,' medium rare and with a twist.😂
Yum, yum 🙄🍽️
Don't be stupid Red Rum Sea biscuit and horses in general are well looked after in retirement.
Black Beauty was fictional.n,n
Why don’t they go to Spain and tell them to stop bullfighting and see how well that will go.
What about the Olympic sometimes athletes get hurt, boxers get hurt should we ban all of those things

@@salembennett3232 yet some athletes die, so your issue is with consent. Next time I ride I'll make sure I ask first 🙄
"Many animals eat other animals!" Silence followed so deafening that I could hear the guy's absence of an argument from his brain. Take that for a defense of not eating animals. How cruel for the animals to eat others and how unfair. Could he beat it down that one? Nope. He was left with only "yeaaah!"
I mus say the way she puts down these creatures is a totally different level of debate and I enjoy it learning quite a great deal from her. She doesn't even conceal or prevent the chance of these protesters' claims to be on the table and validate them. But she uses them to make them come back at them and bite where it hurts the most: their self sufficiency and security that they are right and never be wrong and tht they bring about a greater good which we ought to rather sooner accept it....or else.
She doesn't seem to fight them at all while you see they are knocked off without them knowing where the hit came from. And all that with such a great smile on her face.
They should run the race with the protesters on the course. They'll move then.
Shouldn't use animals? But wouldn't trading in a car for a horse be good for the environment?
Horse meat should be sold properly labelled!
