If these whips don’t hurt I want to see one of the jockeys who wield them so freely on a horses’ rump or the officials who rule in these cases, to take seven consecutive strikes across his own backside with one- then stand up and tell me they don’t hurt.

Darth Vader wrote:It is a national disgrace that racehorses in Australia have continued to be subjected to barbaric physical pain and psychological stress despite the above and other expert opinion that whipping simply does not work.
A Senate Select Committee into welfare of horses in 1991 showed that whips should be eliminated as a means of making a horse run faster. It is widely acknowledged that the whip causes physical pain and psychological stress including an inherent sense of panic to racehorses.
Flogging a horse which is at the point of physical exhaustion is nothing but cruel.
Racehorses are routinely pushed far beyond their natural limitations and many break down and have to be destroyed before the age of five. A horse does not finish growing until it is five and yet we train and race horses from two-years olds.
If whipping exhausted horses which are finishing back in the field is a sport, we need to be utterly ashamed as a nation.
To say that whipping does not hurt a horse is outright nonsense.
