Do you think hot branding should be banned?

It is cruel.
It is a much harsher way of identification that say a lip tattoo.
It's terribly cruel and barbaric and should definately be banned!!
I think it only hurts the animali for a couple of seconds and is very efficent.
It's very painfull for the animal it would be much better if they get a clip

Wouldn't freeze branding hurt as much?
no he should not be
I is not fair to the horse
If it's an exsisting brand then a horse shouldnt be eliminated for it, but no branding should occur because of the games.
I've burned my self and I've frozen myself. I know which is more painful!
And anesthetics should be used during cold branding too
It is a cruel way to mark something as your own. paperwork proves that enough!!!!
I can wipeout a freeze brand with some hair dye

Do you think chuckwagon racing should continue?

Over the years the horses have become faster, the wrecks worse and the loss of life substantial. Deaths have become the norm
Its a great sport, it takes great skill and its exciting.
Horses die to much. Please stop this now!
I don't think it should continue in the format it is in now. Would it be possible to run one team at a time and time them like they do in X-
nice ex-racehorses are saved from slaughter, but too bad they go to a crazy career like the chucks
Stop the Madness!!!!!!
Didn't Hickstead die of the same thing?
Track configurations may be made a little less intense in order to reduce accidents. Maybe set the time with a minimum and maximum.
I love watching them but it here is to many horses dying and getting hurt, I understand that the horses love it but it needs to stop!
yes
Freak accidents that result in animals having to be put down happens all the time. Why stop a sport for it??
Every horse sport requires risk, these horses are not by any means treated with cruelty, their owners love them and care for them very much.
accidents happen in any sport!!
