Flogging a dead horse

[johnofgwent]

I obviously picked up the wave of offended snowflake whinges, but I didn't see why he did that in the first place.


Was there some point he was trying to make ??

I dont know , people have acted the idiot , shown poor judgment and embarrassed themselves since the beginning of time .

We take ourselves out of the public eye , remove ourselves from normal activity and keep a low profile till the dust settles and everyone realises nobody died , there  were no victims , just idiots .

A SICKENING video showing jockey Rob James laughing while jokingly riding a dead horse is being investigated by racing chiefs.

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said he was "appalled" by the photograph of horse trainer Gordon Elliott sitting on a dead horse at his training operation.
The Grand National-winning trainer apologised for the photograph taken of him sitting on the animal while seeming to hold up two fingers in what looked like a peace gesture.

And finally:

Elliott, who is based in Co Meath, Ireland, said: "It is indefensible. Whether alive or dead, the horse was entitled to dignity.

I know pet owners love their pets — they're sometimes like child substitutes.  But the animal was dead! 

Where's the respect for the tens of thousands of industrially-slaughtered animals that wind up in Butchers' shop windows or on supermarket shelves...?

Didn't see the pictures but if true it is repugnant. I'm not a horsey person and quite frankly find the riders on the road a bunch of arrogant shits, but the animal it's self is beautiful. Photographing your self on a dead one and joking at its expense is disgusting.
