4 year old stallion Anthony Van Dyck was killed after a catastrophic injury in today's #MelbourneCup, the same injury responsible for nearly 57% of on-track deaths recorded during the 2019-20 racing year.
His deadh wasn't unforseen. Just the cost of doing business.

A public holiday built on pillars of animal cruelty & gambling is no day worth celebrating for me. A day where DV in the home also skyrockets as a direct consequence of gambling. I can’t value a day based on exploiting animals for our entertainment. #MelbourneCup #NupToTheCup

A fish rots from the head. Why isn’t Rio Board being held accountable? The decision to proceed to destroy the significant indigenous heritage site in the Pilbara must have been a strategic decision at board level? A %of revenue of Brockman 4 mine should go to traditional owners
The enduring, sad epitaph of this grim period in our history will be: ‘It wasn’t my decision. ‘

Disgraceful. Universities should support freedom of speech, not bullying communists.

The misogyny of the Karen meme disturbs me, too. ‘The Karen meme has become a way of not just describing women’s behaviour, but controlling it. No wonder so many men enjoy it.’ google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theg…
