Given him away and let him constantly be in pain? Yeah because that’s not cruel. He fractured his knee and probably wouldn’t left him in constant pain

"suspected" 😭 they couldn't even look and make sure first

How would you transport the horse to a vet surgery with a fracture You do realise there is a vet there diagnosing

Not much of the world it's the owners who don't care for the race horses they only care for the damn money that the horses win cruel cruel race horse owners

Rest in peace angel😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔😭😭😭😭⚘♥we love you love

They already have enough people who have a go at the industry let alone the people who would sook coz they’ve seen a horse be pts

So if a human died in the boxing ring do you expect them to broadcast the live corpse on ppv? Silly comment. Nothing to hide it would be quite obvious what happened to the horse and it would be announced by the stable.

Barriers go up so they can euthanize the horse without the public looking on. they are not trying to hide!! No one needs to see those last moments but the Vet and Groom and people helping in that wind. those fragile legs take one bad step and sometimes it just happens.

@@rob171081 How do you know the horse had a great life? Heres a fact, it died because of what humans forced it to do. Here's another fact, humans are inherently selfish and greedy. The horse is used for selfish money making purposes and then killed when its injured and of no monetary value.

Did he push the horse

Its so they can put the horse down in a humane way and with respect, filming the horse behind the screen is just a complete lack of respect for the horse and the jockey and trainers involved with the horse. Some times putting the horse down is the most humane thing instead of it enduring a life long of pure pain with such a low quality of life. You really don't understand any bit of the sport. Everyone who rides and trains the horses puts so much love and care into the horse to get them ready for there sport. But you in your sad world will never understand that coz you live to argue when your wrong and jump from one "cause" to another.

@@liammalone4424 ''Its so they can put the horse down in a humane way with respect'', they wouldn't have to put those horses down if they didn't race. Do you know what's more disrespectful and inhumane? Making those horses race with the chance to get hurt and killed. If they really loved their horses so much, why would they put their life in danger? ''coz you live to argue'', she's not arguing. Speaking up for the animals and arguing are two different things. You're talking bullshit like someone made the jockeys race. ''Sometimes putting the horse down is the most humane thing instead of it enduring a life long of pure pain with such a low quality of life.'' and sometime preventing the horse from all of this is more humane. The horses didn't asked to race, get injured and end up being put down. You're talking like the jockeys are so caring for their horses. But think about it - who are the ones that put their horse's life in danger?

yes, why?

@@liammalone4424 They put care into the horse simply so it performs better and wins them all more money. Don't talk about respect. There is zero respect for race horses from everyone involved - they are seen purely as commodities. The recent videos of trainers and jockeys sitting on the back of these poor animals after they've died shows how much love and respect they have for them. It is all animal abuse. Taking beautiful healthy horses, using and abusing them until they die horrific premature deaths.

It’s so the industry doesn’t get exposed. But people who film this kinda of stuff, are good people. Their getting the word out on how bad racing is

HOW DID THEY KNOW SO FAST, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LIGAMENT - AHHH LETS JUST PTS.@@millyscothern9270

Please tell us. I have raised horses

As nice as an idea that'd be, it's unrealistic. Most injuries sustained in horse racing are broken legs, most of which fail to heal properly...these horse would either have to live a life of pain, or have the leg amputated. Both of which are inhumane. Sure, you keep the horse on pain killers, but you'll never truly rid the animal of pain (they are prey animals, and are known to hide pain). Plus over use on a poorly healed leg will not last long, eventually leading to more damage and pain for the horse. Amputation, can get rid of the pain, but horses cannot live on three legs. Their body weight and poor weight distribution makes it a bad idea...if done, the added weight pressure on the other three legs will eventually lead them to deteriorate, resulting in the initial problem of pain. Hence, euthanasia in these cases is the best option for these horses...if we could rehabilitate these horses to do work like you suggest, I'd be all for it. Alas, it's not feasible to justify in regard to horse welfare. But the better option overall, would be to ban all horse racing events! That way we wouldn't have these issues arising in the first place...but banning horse racing just isn't going happen anytime soon. The best we can do is to try and make the sport as humane as possible

A knee fracture is a very serious injury especially when it's caused by a rotational fall, as it appears this one was. Usually not a surgically correctable injury. Far kinder to euthanize the horse where it stands rather than prolong its suffering.

@@gazehoundgal You have no idea how much it hurts me to say a horse must be put down but in this case, he was struggling to live and didn't seem like he was in much pain.

That's not to say the family horse wouldn't suffer such an injury. Or that maybe racehorses are more durable because their muscular legs give them extra protection. But on the whole, I think the rigors of training and racing put them at greater risk.

Irrespective of whatever 'side' of this debate you might be on, that's a moronic, clueless and self-deluded thing to actually believe.

So the horse choose to be a horse race and then end up like this for the sake of people making lots of money out of it. He choose to die by stupidity of humans who are rich after him and live a long happy healthy life because of this. Yes, good for well intended humans to put this poor horse out of his misery and choose not to show anything through the green screens being there just to give quiet and privacy to the horse, even after he was already being killed. But I'm a good person. just like you, with no damned high or mightily ignorant ego and I only wish that people have the same heart to do the same to whoever approves of this to be the right way of dealing with living beings.

Horses have no concept of "privacy" and tarps held up on poles are not going to "provide quiet" What nonsense. This horse was in extreme pain. He was being injected with some drug, to end his life. He was not thinking about some need for "privacy". The purpose of the screens is to block the view of the paying public. These workers noticed that someone was making a video, from one side, and they moved quickly to block the camera view of that person. They were engaged in the final phase of the killing of a horse and they wanted to pretend something better, to avoid any loss of racing revenue.

retirement is slaughter

It does indeed depend on the type of break in the bone & where it is. It's because the good leg becomes compromised half way through the horses recovery from having to bear so much weight on it while the break in the other leg is healing & develops a chronic inflammatory condition that makes the vets preemptively euthanise a horse. The vets want to save the horse having to endure the excruciating pain

GET OUT THE DRAPING SO NOONE CAN SEE - AND GET THE SHOT READY!!! SO DISGUSTING!!! WHAT A BRAVE, BRAVE HORSE.....

Gotta say this is a logical comment.

They're bred into this world with the utmost respect and love to be proffesional race horses.. These aren't wild horses that owners pluck from farm fields and punish.. They're looked after and assessed by proffesional vets and they are the people who make these calls. It is a legal requirement for racecourses which hold these events to have a competent and certified vet at any race meeting. Therefore you have to put your faith in THEIR decision.. Only the people who don't understand how the sport works come on these videos and troll them.. Its a terribly sad time when a horse passes away doing this sport, everyone involved from the real fans to the stable staff build up affinities with these horses as they would fellow humans and sometimes the love runs even deeper than that..
