Do we need Ian back to make an Olympics thread? Love that it's the Dutch shopping her. She'd have been fine if she'd hand non-consensual sex with the horse. I'm definitely here for the whole Olympics turning into F1 driver style sniping and trying to get everyone else banned or chucked out. The only good horse event at the Olympics is the modern pentathlon where they give them random horses and rogue bad actor horses can completely torpedo four years of training.
Imagine trying to scramble those words together for a press release.The FEI said it had received footage showing three-time Olympic gold medallist Dujardin "engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare - during a training session conducted at Ms Durjardin’s private stable".
Horse people in being horrible cunts shocker.
I have to say, I love the constant pretence among the horsing establishment that beating a horse isn’t the best way to get it to do what you want and that none of its horsing members are indulging in said beating.
One medal away from becoming the GOAT.
She should have kicked it harder, then the Dutch would have been satisfied.
Wonder if it was him who mowed the cow down. Christ![]()
That is very fucked up. Luckily he missed that stomp.
Apparently he’d broken a female coppers nose earlier.
I'm a twit
Still, how daft you do have to be to boot in a prone, tasered suspect? Job's done.
leev im alone
ee didn't do anyfing
The policeman looks about ten stone himself, which leads us back to the point about crap coppering being down to weedy coppers.
You haven't seen him dance at the carnival though.
Well that's him done.
Quite. It's the cognitive dissonance on show from almost all involved (campaigners, horsing people, whoever) that I really struggle with. I mean, how the fuck are you supposed to get a horse to dance and do all that other shit without slapping/beating it? It's a fucking horse for Christ's sake, you can't reason with the sodding thing and it's fucking huge. Which isn't to say I'm supporting physical cruelty to animals, more that it's staggering that the horsing people are pretending it isn't widerife and the anti-horsing people don't get that it's widerife.
And I think on a wider point it plays into Jim's constant bemusement when he posts another insane animal story - we, as a society, have an incredibly confused approach to animals. It's ok to kill and eat some, but not hit/tap others. Some can be kept as pets, but others you'd be seen as mental/breaking the law for doing so. Some can be involved in assisting humans, but others absolutely cannot (I'm thinking guide dog vs. sending a monkey up a tree to get coconuts with this one). Some are allowed to be used in some sports but others absolutely cannot be used in other sports.
It's all just a mess, with every pro doing bad things to animal body completely realising their particular animal usage is on borrowed time but fighting tooth and nail to keep it going. The meetings behind closed doors must be fascinating.
There's far too much emotion involved when it comes to animals. All it takes is a slight readjustment to the socio-economic settlement and we'll be back to stealing next door's labrador for an impromptu stew. 'Look east', they say, marvelling at the productivity of Asian society. Let's start boiling birds alive like them.
If we didn't eat some of them then they wouldn't exist any more.
I have had to have this exact conversation with my daughter after she asked why we eat Animals. It turns out one of her friends at school is a vegetarian, so she went in the next day and said "my dad said we eat animals because we are omnivores. That's why we have both these teeth *points at canines* and these teeth *points at molars* and if we stopped eating animals, the farmers would just kill them all. They aren't pets".
She got a "red card" for that. Her first ever one. And I got called over at pick up time. So I asked what part of what she said was incorrect. "It wasn't wrong, just not age appropriate". How can discussion of being vegetarian be appropriate, without arguments against it being allowed? Radio silence.
"Look, I'm just saying, they're not ready to hear about animals being killed". Well your dickhead vegetarian kid brought that up, didn't they?

Should have gone to VAR.
And Nigel De Jong's Kung Fu kick was only a yellow card.
World is getting soft.
Animals aren't capable of being grateful, it's what makes them animals.
No, but they are capable of feeling pain. You're almost there with equating how we treat dogs and how we treat cows. Maybe it should go in the other direction?
Veggies are such twats.
Yeah but they have a point.
Are you SICKENED when animals eat other animals?
Bastard shark, how dare he eat that seal!
James, you're going to have to get your head around the fact that most of us don't care about a chickens feelings.
I've been to Tesco so I know how the world at large feels. Can't hurt to probe it every now and then.
It really wouldn't surprise me at all if in the future we decided as a society that it wasn't ok to mass produce animals for slaughter and to be fed into our tummies as it is all a bit barbaric.
That said, they taste delicious, so not on my watch please.
Oh and James, I have one question for you, do you eat fish?
What a disappointment.
Yeah probably. There is some mental gymnastics involved in thinking that eating 3 meals of beef in a year is the same as 0, but not as much as if I were eating 300. You should try it, you get to take the moral high ground AND cause your taste buds to experience pleasure.
You really don't get to take the moral high ground.
I mean, if you think doing something is bad, surely doing less of it is better than doing more of it, right? Or is it 0 = good and 1-9999999999 = bad?
