“Horses die every day. So do cats. So do dogs. So do people.”
And so do livestock. 30 million animals were killed in the UK in 2024* for halal and kosher slaughter without being stunned first. In other words, they had their throats slit and bled to death in agony.
No doubt the usual social media channels will be all ablaze today after Envoi Allen. But I might take the likes the League Against Cruel Sports and Animal Rebellion more seriously if they said something about that industrial scale cruelty to animals instead of making cheap shots about a racehorse that has died via an accident.
