Absolutely agree with the views on horseracing and dog breeding. I grew up with dachshunds and adore them, but over the years since I have had bigger dogs e.g. golden retrievers. However, because I can't handle a large dog anymore, I decided that I should have a dachshund. Sadly, over the years they have been bred in such a way that their legs are so short and bodies so long that the majority (including mine) have back problems. Luckily their characters haven't changed, but too many are suffering pain and limits as to what they can do.
Something needs to be done to stop pets suffering for the pointless pleasure of some humans.
