• Greens faking it again

    The Greens are pretending to care about greyhounds' welfare, so they
    want to close down dog racing. Winston is telling them to go take a
    hike but will consider it later.

    The thing is, dog racing is just a stalking-horse for the *true*
    Greens' target, which is horse racing. If they can get any sort of
    government buy-in to their hypocritical anti-dog-racing arguments, and
    actually get it closed down, then they'll immediately redirect those
    bought-in arguments to bear upon the horse racing industry which has
    been their true target all along. Hypocritical Greens -- such a
    surprise that commies are hypocritical, right?

    Now I have no love for dog racing at all, I think greyhounds are ugly,
    the sport is ugly and seedy, and I'd personally be happy to see it
    disappear. However now it's unknowingly become an important defense
    point for horse racing. It's better for the commies to throw all
    their energy against the dogs than against their true target, the
    horses. So dog racing should be defended for that reason.

    Yes the dogooder want to close down dog racing and once that's done
    horse racing is next on their target. I wonder if shoplifting or
    migrant exploitation is also a target for them.

    Aaah, the old extrapolate to stupidity . . . next you will be claiming
    that Nat/ACT want to band human running races because strained muscles
    are causing injury and increasing work for hospitals.

    Dog racing is only allowed in 6 countries around the world, because of
    the high death rate for competing dogs. Horse racing does have fatal
    accidents, but at a much lower rate - do you want horse races banned,
    Mutley?

    How about we ban human racing for those drugged with the Covid vaccine? Seem
    to be more than a few fatal cases, high death rates.
