Animal racing

[TimeTeller]

I Am of a different opinion how can one prefer to use animals for games it may not be healthy for the animal and I believe government agencies that regulate such games need to do more to protect the well being of the animals used for such games.

If you think that way, do you think the same for racing done by human as it may not healthy as well for human? Animal racing such as horse is done by professional, the horse must be trained and treated more than other normal horses. Starting from the food, vitamin, and all treatment.

a horse that is not healthy, not getting enough vitamins is just an murder if it is sent down to race, the same thing as a (human) running event in the Olympics or other championships

the pros and cons of accepting animal races on a bet will continue to appear, but what must be realized is that the participating animals are certainly very well monitored by the government that supervises

but I don't know with illegal racing, whether the participating animals are supervised or not!

More than likely, animals used to these racing contests at the spur of the moment are not well-prepared for their event.
So we don't know if those animals are indeed healthy and ready for this activity.
Horse racing has been here for decades already, so this one is not new and acceptable to me.
However, when you are talking about other animals like cow or other untrained animals, I don't think that's right for the owner to join this race contest.
They need to look out for the welfare of their respective animals before they think of the entertainment that it will bring to the people.

Taking part with horse races, those legal competitions are well monitored the horses that they are using are well taken care by groups of people who are part of the team, those horses are well kept and have every vitamins that it needed to be more competitive, those animals are brining decent amount of money, for sure the owners are aware on how to properly cared about those animals.

But, with those illegal gambling if those exist, other animals are just being use for the sake of betting that's a big question if the owners are really doing everything to care or they just all in for the event and if the animal lose or die, it's nothing to them.

As the festivities get high in spirit a lot of players are now taking part in different games in my neighborhood I saw some individuals playing different games with animals from horse to bull and even cow racing all over the street and I stop to wonder if this kind of game healthy for those animals some people think that using animals for such games is being harsh on the animal well being.

Well I don't think so, is that not harsh about animal racing rather than animal fighting --that is the worst when it comes to animal cruelty which means it could have the brutality of death. I don't see any problem with animal race, I love to see when someone places a bet about the race of the turtle and the rabbit and I did not expect many of them to lose on that bet because they had chosen the rabbit which is a turtle was won on that race.
Regarding animal races like horses, I think they are legal and they are permitted to have that activity. It is totally don't have to worry.

you have your point here. animal racing is better than animal fighting like cockfighting. because in races, animals are just subjected to pressure among their own. whereas, if you talk about fighting, one of these animals can very well likely end up dead.
but when you talk about races, it is still best if the race is legal. that means, protocols are observed. however, if you say, illegal races, there will be lots of factors that the respective owners are not taking care of. i do agree that somehow animal races are like pure entertainment at its best. but they need to follow at least minimum safety guidelines.

As long i dont see any forms of abuse then i wont consider it to be harsh yet its been already part of tradition that these animals  do have that certain purpose but cant really blame out those people who do have that kind of mindset when it comes to animal cruelty or being too sincere or concern about those animals which they would really be having this kind of thinking which i cant really blame them off but how far they would able to reach on
if they do tend for this thing to be non ethical or not good to look at?
Theres no much that they could do but to deal with it because theres a certain market or industry for such thing.

If it's not healthy for those involved animals then you should see a big awareness campaign against it from the beginning. Didn't you know how owners of those animals spend too much money just for maintaining the shape and strength of that animals?

We should just leave it that way. There's no form of abuse here unless you are an animal advocate that will take every concern so deep.

True!

When it comes to caring up those animals by its owners then this is something totally opposite on what other people been thinking about abuse.They might ran or having a race but its not
totally a harsh thing to be done by an animal even though it wasnt actually its main purpose of existence but its not surprising that people would be finding out other ways or other forms
of entertainment that  they could seek off. If these sports had imposed out risks with those animals then its been long time this one had been banned.

Technically speaking, be it harsh or what is subjective.

People have different views about it and we can't apply our own view to others. As far as how you looked at the situation, then so be it. The same as others, you just have to respect each other's opinion. Like as I looked at that, I don't think it's harsh but many will argue especially those who are not a fan of that sport.

You just have to live with it as that kind of activity won't be stopped.

It's ok. You don't have to worry. Animals are being taken care of that but what you show is just the activity side.

Behind the scenes, these animals are packed with healthy foods, nutrients, vitamins, and everything just to be healthy at the event time. They were treated well. And racing is a best practice for these animals like how people do sports.

Of course, money is involved here but as long as animals are not abused, it's all good. I don't see racing as abuse too as others said, owners are spending money so why they will abuse their animals?

There's a big difference between abuse and racing to differentiate harsh type of caring the animals, do your research first if you want to know more about of animals. It's like you generalized everything when in fact every animal has different types of care either they were a livestock, pet, for sports such as racing, or entertainment, it depends actually.

It's more cruel if you see an animal fighting such as cock fighting, imagine how they care those animal in the first place yet in the end, they will either suffer from bloody cut or live with a slight cut, or lucky if they didn't have a cut.

... I stop to wonder if this kind of game healthy for those animals

It's not. Those who organize animal fights or racing and those who agree with them consider these beings as inferior to humans that why they are okay with it. They see them as mere tools to make money.

I Am of a different opinion how can one prefer to use animals for games it may not be healthy for the animal and I believe government agencies that regulate such games need to do more to protect the well being of the animals used for such games.

If you think that way, do you think the same for racing done by human as it may not healthy as well for human? Animal racing such as horse is done by professional, the horse must be trained and treated more than other normal horses. Starting from the food, vitamin, and all treatment.

It's weird that you are actually comparing the situation of a human being that can decide on his own free will to a captive animal who has no other choice but to do what it's trained to do.

Personally, I could say it wasn't healthy and a good game to look at but why the authorities are allowing it in the first place? If that only it is prohibited since before, we no longer see it growing and people betting them.

We even see cockfighting, bullfighting, and horse fighting (in the local area). It is probably because people think that they are just animals and have no feeling like us. Even though we think it was not healthy, the authorities agreed to it and give them the favor that is why couldn't think that this stop.

If that is a race between those animals, I think that is okay. But if that is about fighting until one of the animals is dead, I do not think that is okay but every people will have their opinion about this and what I see until now is people are like to gamble with that game and make money. Maybe in Asia and some countries, those games are still available and people can bet on that animals. That game offers another experience for people who watch the game.

Agree to this instead they are fighting for their life like in our country the famous illegal one is dog fight which they will be fighting until the other dog will die. On the other hand, Horse racing is also known here in our country and nothing is against it. There are also bird racing, dog racing, and many more that involve animals but there are also a lot of people against it but there is no clear law about it so people are still playing into that games.

I guess it really depends on the individual, but as old as human history though, we've heard this kind of animal racing or sports and so it has existed throughout different cultures. It might not been universally accepted and maybe condemned by animal groups in the last century or so, but still continuing up to this time. Personally I don't like it, but I'm a fan of horse racing, so those animals don't fight for survival, it's a race, but there are times that horses die after a race because their body can't take the grueling lap ran.

Horse racing is healthy, I don't know about the other animals though. back then, horse racing is the practice of any nation to practice themselves some scenario on wars, also camel racing as well. But I doubt that they can use those animals in today's era because we already know how high-tech the war machines are right now. the sounds will scare those animals. But if only use for racing just for fun, I think a horse is the best companion.

[Fundamentals Of]

Of course they're harsh for the animals' well being. These animals are not made for running. Of course a horse runs fast but a horse is not really built to just run and run and run. These animals could suffer from all this. People are a bit harsh. They find fun in activities involving other creatures which have life. They still find fun in them even if they probably know that these are animals are suffering or hurt in the process. They're only thinking of themselves and of their pleasure.

The horse is a very hardy animal.  The horse practically does not feel the weight of a person - a jockey.  Horses love to run fast.  They even sleep while standing.  Therefore, in the past they were actively used in military affairs. 

Bull games are a very ancient game of chance.  This was practiced in Crete.  From here arose the legend of the Minotaur monster.  I don't approve of bullfighting.  This is a very bloody sporting event.  The bull racing is another matter.  Bulls love to run too.  They get bored of standing in a stall and chewing hay.  They want to warm up. 

There is no exploitation of animals in this.

some people think that using animals for such games is being harsh on the animal well being.

For me the animal race is a special race which is a tradition that in each region, not all regions do the animal race, with the competition has its own charm for them as well as tourists, I often see such competitions, I don't think it's something that leads to animal violence, it's a certain culture that is interesting to watch.

For example that I often see.
Like a duck or chicken race, clearly here in this animal race the animal is flown a certain distance without touching the ground.


And also in other areas including buffalo races.


There are hundreds of cultures that are carried out by every community around the world for their entertainment in racing, the point is: not to harm animals, instead the animals in the race must be healthy and trained animals.

[hahay]

Using animals for racing competitions there is no element of violence, because violence will only occur if animals are competed for battles such as cockfighting, sheep fighting that hit two sheep's heads and many more. I also realize that the animals that are competed are basically related animals that get extra care so that there is no element of violence when viewed in the process. But regarding the races that he participates in, then it depends as I said before about animal races I have no problem with that, it's different if what is contested is about fights.
