Cool, now do chickens, pigs, cows and sheep
If it can run they make it race. Snail and tortoise racing is to thrilling to ban!
The hypocrisy of these kinds of laws really bothers me. Another example: the German ban on keeping single guinea pigs.
The people who passed these (undeniably) good rules are very likely celebrating with chicken wings or ice cream.
It would be so nice if more humans would just stop and think a little.
To mindless downvoters: What is your exact objection to my point? Did you actually read it or did you just vote on the basis of what you vaguely perceived as negative vibes? Would you prefer that things stay the way they are, and that there is no difficult discussion of any uncomfortable subject? Seriously, I sometimes wonder what the point of a discussion forum is. End of rant.
Forcing dogs to race is animal abuse.
I know little on the topic. Do they treat the animals poorly?
