Today I have just seen the horror of Stallion Fights that are held in the Phillippins for entertainment!
The pictures in the paper are so shocking I felt like crying, horses are gentle creatures, when there are two males after a female they may fight over her but the stronger one will win and the weaker one will go away. They never fight to the death!
Although the 3 day fight festival a year was banned 10 years ago it seems it still goes on.
They get tortured, tied up, beaten so that when they go out into the ring they are so in a frenzy they fight to the death, the rings they fight in are so small that they can only do one thing and that is to fight or face being beaten by their trainers who train them to fight.
The pictures are too horrific to put on here, but I hope you take the time to read the article
Here is the link for the article - I warn you it isnt nice ...

There is currently a petition running to stop this cruelty ... I hope you will sign it too, for me this beggars belief! that humans can do this to such gentle creatures, all creatures deserve kindess and I am so upset with seeing this that i felt i had to highlight it on Fubar
This link is the online petition please sign it ...
