Jay Sawyer of Northbrook Considers the Fact that Horse Racing is Cruel and Has a Darker Side

Jay Sawyer from Northbrook cannot agree more with the fact that horse racing is cruel and has a darker side. Thus, an act of cruelty can be dangerous not only for the horse, but also for the rider, if the horse responds aggressively. Race horses are often seen as money-making objects and not living creatures worthy of compassion or respect.

  2. Jay Sawyer of Northbrook Opposes the Idea of Using Horses in the Racing Industry • Jay Sawyer from Northbrook cannot forget the horrific events of the past few years that has forced him to dig deep into the tradition of horse racing • He cannot agree more with the fact that horse racing is cruel and has a darker side • In fact, it is much more than the happy crowds gathered around the pristine-looking tracks

  3. He Believes that Act of Cruelty can be Dangerous not only for the Horse, but also for the Rider • Sawyer states that horses are extremely powerful animals and really do not have to let humans do anything with them • Thus, an act of cruelty can be dangerous not only for the horse, but also for the rider, if the horse responds aggressively • Overall, he strongly opposes the use of horses in racing industry

  4. He Believes that Horse Racing has a Great Effect on Economy • Although, he agrees that horse racing has a great effect on economy, it takes its toll on the horses themselves • He states that there are several accounts of horses being pushed to the limits, and even abused, all for the sake of profit • Race horses are often seen as money-making objects and not living creatures worthy of compassion or respect

  5. Sawyer Strongly Opposes Tongue Ties that are Used to Prevent the Horses from Getting their Tongue Over the Bit During Race • Jay Sawyer from Northbrook considers the fact that horse racing also involves tongue ties that is the widely used and unregulated practice of immobilising a horse’s tongue to prevent the horses getting their tongue over the bit during a race and to prevent ‘choking’ during high intensity exercise • Problems associated with tongue tie use include horses showing signs of pain, anxiety and distress, difficulty swallowing, cuts and lacerations to the tongue, bruising and swelling
