Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Fast running Rickshaws pulled by suffering,poor, innocent young boys was outlawed in disgustingly evil old Peking many years ago. Fast forward to see today's scenes of horse games/ there you will see the even worse injustice perpetrated, with equal unnecessary suffering still being caused, but now done by millionaires impose the suffering upon the noblest of all animals-Horses: those INNOCENTS, risking their lives in good faith, are pushed to their deaths by their "SPORTING" masters. All that suffering and dying by horses is done just to win a silly, stupid little ribbon for owners. It must outlawed immediately just as the BOYS pulling rickshaws was in evil old China. Winning "place" ribbons must be seen for what it is: The Owners'' Egos are Stroked in exchange for the suffering and dying of Horses.The owners say they love their horses. Hypocrites.
In the US, our government under the auspices of the Bureau of Land Management, has for years been rounding up and sending to slaughter thousands upon thousands of wild horses who compete with cattle for cheap grazing land. Ranchers have a friend in the Secretary of the Interior, in Washington DC. That travesty and injustice is out in the open and many people are aware of it, but another matter, the dark side of horse racing is almost never discussed nor is the horrible secret of the more than 100,000 horses that are led to slaughter for want of a home. The issue of horse slaughter comes down to one that is not unlike the issue we have with our household pets... OVERBREEDING, which leads to the death and destruction of millions of homeless/unwanted animals. That said, many fewer people are prepared to "adopt" a horse or take on the expense of caring for these abandoned animals for life....so they go to hideous slaughterhouses where they are worth more if sold to the meat market for their flesh. An all-out effort to educate the public must be made! They need to know what happens to *race horses, the horses in rodeos, at riding stables, etc when they are no longer considered worth keeping. We must do everything possibe to end the exploitation of these magnificent animals. Greyhound racing is being shut down in state after state because the public has finally begun to get that message about all the senseless cruelty and the killing of unwanted, "used up" animals. We need to do the same for our horses. Please check out the following links: *http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/28829795 Seven in less than one month at Santa Anita Racetrack. All the hand-wringing and emotion following the death of the filly Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby last May – just so much fluff, as these things always are in “sports.” *SLAUGHTER IN THE RACEHORSE INDUSTRY http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=RSboR03WnjI This is not a pretty picture! And it is long past time to start this conversation!
DETESTABLE, INHUMANE AND CRUEL TREATMENT OF HORSES. THEY FAR DESERVE BETTER.
Many will protest that we need more regulation. The fact is, you cannot regulate cruel spectacles like horse racing, what are you going to do have a policeman in every horse stall to make sure they aren't drugged, have a policeman on the horse behind the jockey to make sure they aren't whipped? Ludicrous! Humans have shown time and again, particularly where money is concerned that they cannot as a collective whole be trusted with proper care of animals. These horses are injured, then drugged to keep them running with injuries. They are dying much too frequently at much too young ages.
This cannot be regulated, ban all horse racing everywhere!
Horse racing is neither glamorous or fun, as we see more & more young horses meeting their death on tracks. It is no use pretending that this is more the exception than the rule. Horse racing cannot be regulated to oversee that it is humanely managed, as greed will always supersede humanity & whipping, over training & dangerous jumping continue & horses meet their death or are sent of to slaughter houses when they can no longer make money for their greedy ownrers
A Barbaric sport that should be banned NOW
5 horses are dead for "sport". This makes you realize that the Middle Ages are not so far away.
I didn't realise that horse-racing could be so destructive for the animals involved. It's as bad as greyhound-racing. This is terrible, and shameful for us. Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Looks like we're not much of a nation then.
