I think it is cruel risk wise, no matter how much wonderful care they receive in the preceding years. |
It's a horrible accident and I'm devasted but life is a risk whether it be human or animal...what about breeders risking bitches lives by breeding without health tests and breeding bitches too small? With any sport comes risk whether it be human sport or animal, some animals love to run and so do humans but again with life comes risk unfortunately. I am horribly upset with another gorgeous animal passing and as I've stated in the closed thread I probably will never watch another race but oh they are such beautiful creatures and I love every animal and it's sad anyway you look at it :*(
