Chuck Wagon racing! Yay? or Nay?

Chuck wagon racing is an equestrian rodeo event where harnessed horses pull a wagon (and driver) around a barrel and down the track, just like in TB racing whoever crosses the line first wins!



This event is very popularly associated with the Calgary Stampede, and the huge hoards of people it attracts. However it also gets a lot of attention from animal activists. Why? Watch the video below for an idea!

Skip to 0:37 to see the crash right away!
3 horses dead, the horse you see fall to the side died from a burst Aorta (burst heart basically)
This created a domino effect. It is so sad to see these horse die. And the worst part it happens almost every year, at tons of events!
So comment on what you think about chuckwagon races, and if they should be allowed or banned!  


Sorry about the white highlighting it will not delete! Comment if you know how to get rid of it!
