I am sure that there are some bad people in horse racing, that do not care about the horses as much as they should, but to compare it to a sport where animals fight to the death. Come on!

ON the Clinton Portis thread here in the sports section, I tried to do the same thing. My basis was that there are certain groups of people that view horse racing as barbaric. On the face it appears ridiculous to compare the two...but you can pretty much argue anything and get away with it. I can see how people view horse racing as they do even if I don't agree.
Some people view dog fighting as cruel and some don't. Some people view horse racing as cruel and some don't. That is how you compare them...it is simply the scale of perceived cruelty by those opposed that differs.
