We really need to ban this shit here in Australia too.

Especially horse racing

I don't think house racing will be banned in our lifetime. There's to much money involved.

Remember when NSW tried to ban dog racing? It got overturned within a few weeks, which was months before it was going to even come into affect.

There's way more money being moved with horses, if they couldn't stop dogs in a single state there's no chance to stop horses anytime soon.

I hate to agree.. Also, we full of too many dickheads here who want to be portrayed as badass. Even absolutely stupid things like mental checks for gun owners, a lot of our local bogans lose their minds
