why: having fun shouldn't involve cruelty
One horse dies on Australian race tracks every three days. More and more people are deciding that entertainment that relies on others having a terrible time is no fun. We all enjoy getting dressed up and having a good time with friends, but watching animals suffering is no-one's cup of tea.
