Animals were bred for certain purposes and there will always be accidents,(lets ban horse riding because the

 

horse might break it's leg in a hole or another accident and instead do what,release them all or kill them all

 

as they will have no other use in modern society?).

Accidents are an unfortunate part in the life of all animals and some sports increase that risk,(but there are

 

a lot more animals put down each year due to being abandoned by uncaring owners),Angry head bang.gif

 

Then remember the 3 million plus feral cats that are destroying the native wildlife by killing up to 1000 each

 

per year,(that's 3 billion plus native animals each year).

 

They were also abandoned and let go: http://www.smh.com.au/national/war-on-feral-cats-australia-aims-to-cull-2-million-20170214-gucp4o.ht...
