The Charlotte Dujardin horse-whipping scandal puts dressage’s Olympic future at risk
Animals shouldn't be part of any sport. Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
God I hate people
Art, sports, leisure, entertainment all need to be banned. They distract the worker from his task of serving the people.
Eh, I don't agree. Sports are a good way for people to get exercise and recreation time in, which are vital for mental and physical health. There are definitely ways to incorporate animals into sports that the animals enjoy and is also good for their mental and physical well-being. We just need to collectively stop being shitty stewards of our animal companions.
Sports for fun cool
Sports for money awful
i had to look up "dressage." that it's dumb and pointless doesn't matter, but apparently it's not possible without animal abuse? people are so fucking stupid
Arguably all Olympic sports are dumb and pointless and don’t matter.
I will accept my internet chastisement now.
Oh no not dressage
Good thing we have a ready replacement in the wings
That's lucky. https://youtu.be/o-50GjySwew?feature=shared
If only I had the moves
Wtf
The scary part is that it’s totally real
The core issue with dressage is that they are putting the medal on the wrong neck. The horse is doing all of the work, they deserve all of the credit. Yes, being a dressage rider is (probably) hard work, but so is being a jokey or a wrestling coach. Also, all animal training facilities should automatically be on animal cruelty watch lists and subject to random inspections.
That crap shouldn’t be in the Olympics. Do the horses get the metal? Cause they’re the ones doing the impressive stuff.
Medal.
Horses are such amazing creatures. Whipping them is equivalent to whipping children. This lady needs a good paddling.
Unless she likes it, then she shouldn’t get one
I can see why.
What does the article say? I’m on mobile and even with DNS Adblock all I get is a super loud Ford commercial that links me away from the article if I try to stop it.
I thought they removed the part with the horses since the pentathlon incident during the last olympics
I'm not sure it's possible to remove the horses from the competitive horse dancing event.
I think synchronised horse swimming has been nixed already.
Ah my bad. I assumed it was that case. In pentathlon they get assigned a horse that they don't know and need to perform more or less with a stranger. There was a case of an athlete whipping that horse like crazy last Olympic because it wouldn't do what she wanted
Just looking at her puts a stain on her reputation, and the Olympics.
Can we also disqualify the person who made that website have a hovering video that can't be removed on mobile?
That’s where the real whipping belongs 🤭
