Quoted from Greenham Common

According to this site: 4 - all racing 'incidents'.

http://www.horsedeathwatch.com

The same site estimates that 420 horses die each year, 38% at race courses, the rest after training accidents.  You can see why the racing industry is not making a huge fuss about the electrocution incident.

I understand that horses die, (which is why i personally HATE the Grand National as they often get hurt, due to too many horses running at once, but thats just ME and my hysterical opinion). Anyway, i personally have never heard of any horses being electrocuted whilst out for 'a day racing' let alone TWO alongside eachother. Its an unusual incident (thankfully) and i am just annoyed that it happened at all, such a waste of two lives. The main point i feel is the actual incident (electrocution), being that it is SO extrodinary.

I am aware some people think i am hysterical etc, to those people. Just concentrate on the subject, not on my 'state of mind', i am purely a lover of animals, really not unusual at all. I am angry that this happened and this subject gets me upset/angry etc. Just like other subjects on this board get others angry, if i dont agree with their views then fine, not sure it means they are hysterical though! So if i am upsetting anyone with my passionate love of horses, well i wont be apologising, i said before, i speak as the animals CANT
