Jay Sawyer of Northbrook Considers the Fact that Horse Racing is Cruel and Has a Darker Side
Jay Sawyer of Northbrook Opposes the Idea of Using Horses in the Racing Industry
Jay Sawyer from Northbrook cannot forget the horrific events of the past few years that has forced him to dig deep into the tradition of horse racing
He cannot agree more with the fact that horse racing is cruel and has a darker side
In fact, it is much more than the happy crowds gathered around the pristinelooking tracks
He Believes that Act of Cruelty can be Dangerous not only for the Horse, but also for the Rider
Sawyer states that horses are extremely powerful animals and really do not have to let humans do anything with them
Thus, an act of cruelty can be dangerous not only for the horse, but also for the rider, if the horse responds aggressively
Overall, he strongly opposes the use of horses in racing industry
He Believes that Horse Racing has a Great Effect on Economy
Although, he agrees that horse racing has a great effect on economy, it takes its toll on the horses themselves
He states that there are several accounts of horses being pushed to the limits, and even abused, all for the sake of profit
Race horses are often seen as money-making objects and not living creatures worthy of compassion or respect
Sawyer Strongly Opposes Tongue Ties that are Used to Prevent the Horses from Getting their Tongue Over the Bit During Race
Jay Sawyer from Northbrook considers the fact that horse racing also involves tongue ties that is the widely used and unregulated practice of immobilising a horse’s tongue to prevent the horses getting their tongue over the bit during a race and to prevent ‘choking’ during high intensity exercise
Problems associated with tongue tie use include horses showing signs of pain, anxiety and distress, difficulty swallowing, cuts and lacerations to the tongue, bruising and swelling
Thank You Jay Sawyer, Northbrook
