Sorry for the 
link but this isn't really picked up anywhere else. Predictably, the same disgusting people (referring to H3, Destiny, etc) who spread the dubious "Hasan shocked his dog" stuff don't care about this one, so it isn't all over the internet.
I'm not posting this to own everyone who said they like Hasan, but I do think it's an important thing to point out to any fans of his on this site that animal rights have always been a huge weak point for him. I'm a casual watcher who was tuning in for the China adventures, but 
so after the Panda zoo and this, I'm out for good.
Horse racing is such an obviously gross and abusive sport to anyone with sight to see it, so it's annoying seeing how many people (though admittedly in collapsed comments) in his community just don't care at all. Beyond the comments there, but in his chat in real time any time animal rights or veganism are mentioned.
Tangentially related, but 
s here should recognize that gacha slop like Uma Musume also funds horse racing (the franchise is basically PR for the Japan Racing Association) and is only a small separation from betting at the track. It was obnoxious seeing the wave of people talking about it at launch and seeing it plastered all over gaming sites, Steam, etc. Most people probably don't think twice about it because horse girls in anime just 'makes sense' in a vacuum, but I want to bring more attention to the cruel industry by using that franchise and Hasan as a springboard.
Please educate your favorite streamer, celebrity, or whoever so they don't use their platforms to promote animal abuse.
Edit: lmao their mods locked the thread that was significantly more supportive of the idea that races are abuse.
I’m not very familiar with horse racing but is betting on it more morally repugnant than eating meat? I agree that animal rights are a weak point for Hasan. At least one of the restaurants he was at served foie gras to his party.
Obviously I condemn eating meat in general too, but that's an almost universal practice that one can understandably adopt from the overwhelming support it has from average people and the propaganda pushed by that industry. Attending a horse race is frankly no different than attending a cock fight though, in that it's a more deliberate action that is only normalized among a smaller subset of the population and has significantly less practical justification for its existence (meaning feeding oneself). It's also a lot more upfront about its violence, because you can watch horses trip and get significantly injured in real time. I'm not necessarily fixated on the betting part, I think even attending is a pretty repugnant thing to do. Then amplify that by essentially advertising it to thousands of people as a cool and good thing to do. Convincing my grandma to stop eating meat is impossible, but convincing her not to attend a cock fight is a lot easier.
not saying i view it this way but to your average person, horse races are completely normal. they think "horses go fast anyway may as well put money on it". they don't think that deeply about it. TONS of people bet on horses or think it's a normal thing. not saying i do or saying that's a good thing, but that it got normalized
