oh pleeeease. At a race meeting only last month in England, I can't remember where, there were two horses fell badly two days running and had to be put down. The jockies are still in hospital. One with a broken back, it's a dangerous sport. They lowered the fences afterwards.
But it's beautiful, it's sport as good as it gets. There are rarely deaths anymore.
When they whack up the plastic tent around a fallen horse it's done very very sympathetically nowadays, they block that fence off and don't show it anymore then report it at the end of the race. More often than not the horse gets back up, they splint the leg and the horse then gets put out to stud.
