sheislaurenceI wouldn't dream posting a #DailyMail article, but it's surprisingly the one with the most spot on #headline on the #Aintree #grandnational #horseracing death. All other media are shocking, moving on to tits & champagne. It's disingenuous the #RSPCA still "engage with the industry", as if there was anything that could be changed to improve a kind of race that is fundamentally designed to bring about the death of #horses. PS: i'm not even an #animalrights activist! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/racing/article-15722455/aintree-gold-dancer-horse-down.html
