readx;? Li Xuan and others no longer bet on horses, but sat in the VIP seat and began to watch the wonderful horse races. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bustling spectators, magnificent stands, verdant racetracks, under the blue sky and white clouds, fierce races are being staged. Although Li Xuan and others lack the excitement of betting on horses, they can truly appreciate the speed and beauty of horse racing.

In the first game, there will be several grand prizes, and the prize money will be cashed out more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which will increase the enthusiasm of the audience. The shouts and cheers of the spectators in the stands came and went, adding to the atmosphere of the more intense game.

Although he was watching the race, Li Xuan always felt that there was something discordant in these horse races. I don't know why, in the beauty of these sports, Li Xuan feels less free, and the horse's nature to pursue freedom is restricted, but it has become a tool for human gambling.

"Mr. Li Xuan, there is still one thing I haven't figured out. Why did the No. 1 horse suddenly slow down and finish third in the first race, when he was about to win the championship?" Queen Muskmelon II regained her senses from the excitement of winning the jackpot and remembered the twists and turns of the first race.

"Oh! The racehorse knew that the champion horse that Her Majesty had bet on was not it, so he deliberately landed his horse's hoof on a stone and sprained his leg!" Li Xuan solved the trouble caused by the leakage of the heavenly secret, and his mood was much better, and he actually joked with the queen.

"Ah, the horse is wounded, poor racehorse, its life will be over!" Queen Muskmelon II did not pay attention to the joke, but cared about the racehorse.

"Wouldn't it? That racehorse is a little fractured at most, and it will be fine after half a year's rest, how can its life end here?" Li Xuan asked curiously at the queen's words.

"Mr. Li Xuan, you may not know that horse racing is an extremely competitive sport with extremely brutal elimination. What we see at the racecourse is the glamorous side of horse racing, but we don't know that these horses are hovering between life and death. On the field, the horses are full of scenery, and the speed of the wind is full of cheers and a lot of money for the masters. However, when their short careers come to an end, they are greeted with a bleak end. Some retired racehorses were either euthanized, abandoned in public, or brutally slaughtered. ”

"Modern horse racing originated in our Eagle Country. The horses we see are bred strictly according to the breed of their parents, and the family tree goes back three generations. Once they are born, veterinarians and trainers regularly check them to determine if they have the potential to grow into a good racehorse, and if they are found to have birth defects or mediocre qualifications, they are disposed of on the spot without any waste of resources. ”

"The normal age of maturity for horses is 6 years old, but racehorses retire before the age of 5, because after the age of 5, the body functions mature, and the burden of high-intensity exercise is generated, and the internal organs and legs are under more stress. ”

"Their childhood is spent running endlessly, eating food that increases their excitement, training and running. Many racehorses don't reach adulthood at all. Perhaps, in his first appearance on the field, he broke his hooves when he ran to the middle and late because he was pushed too hard by the riders, and was dragged aside and forcibly euthanized. ”

"The No. 1 horse we saw just now accidentally broke his leg and his career was ruined even though it was not life-threatening. If it is a horse owner who is hungry for profit. There is no intention of providing for its old age, and with a wave of its hand, it will be carried to the slaughterhouse. If it is a kind-hearted horse owner, he will euthanize his beloved horse, which is already the best ending for that horse. ”

"Just now, you said that Horse No. 5 had a cold and had a stomach problem. It also participated in such a fierce competition that it should also be eliminated. If it is a stallion, because of its good results in the past races, it may live a long time and passively sow its seeds among many mares of pure blood. What is passivity? It is to ride it onto a wooden horse, collect its seeds with a sperm collector, and then inject it into the mare. If he is unfortunate enough to become a gelding, many racehorses will be gelding, that is, become "eunuchs" at the age of three, then the only breeding value left after his retirement will be gone, and maybe he can be trained as a dance horse, but maybe. The better ones are euthanized, and more often they are sent directly to slaughterhouses, and their meat products will be sold to Europe and the Japanese for human consumption. In this way, the horse farm has one less mouth, one less bite of horse feed, and saves costs. All this is contrary to the laws of nature. ”

Queen Muskmelon II was a scholar of horse racing and was very sympathetic to the fate of horse racing.

"Horses No. 1 and No. 5 are supposed to be euthanized. When Li Xuan used the technique of looking at qi to observe the horse race, he not only checked the wealth of these dozen horses, but also found that there was a strong dead air on these two horses. At that time, Li Xuan still felt a little strange, these two horses were obviously very strong, and they were in the prime of life, why did they have a dead breath? Now after the explanation of Queen Muskmelon II, he finally understood the fate of these two horses.

Li Xuan was born in the countryside, and when he was a child, many families in the village raised horses. Horses are very intelligent and emotional animals, they are not only a tool for labor, but also loved by the villagers. Because of the constraints of his family at that time, Li Xuan planted the desire to own a horse since he was a child.

Hearing that the fate of these racehorses would be so tragic after they were injured or retired, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel compassion.

"With me, these two horses can't die!" Li Xuanyi raised his hand and called Haonan over. "You go and ask the racecourse if the horse number one that was injured in the first race and the horse number five who was sick are not for sale. If you sell it, be sure to buy it. I don't want those two horses to be killed. ”

"Yes, Master!" Haonan beckoned the pheasant, raised his leg and walked down the stands.

"Two nephews, you wait for me!" After Song Zhong watched the two horse races, the novelty was gone, and he didn't feel interesting, so he decided to follow Haonan and them to join in the fun.

"I'd better go myself!" Li Xuan had a hunch that the two horses might die soon, so he decided to go and see for himself.

"I'll go too!" Queen Muskmelon II saw that Li Xuan was going to buy a horse, and she also wanted to follow.

Li Xuan walked, and more than a dozen people walked down in the stands. The Governor of Hong Kong, Victor and Earl Pippi, immediately got busy and called on the royal guards to defend Her Majesty.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the horse breeding room at the back of the racecourse. The steward of the racecourse saw that Queen Muskmelon II and the Governor of Hong Kong had come together, and immediately came out to greet him. "Welcome Her Majesty and the Governor!"

Queen Muskmelon II turned to one side and let Li Xuan after his birth. "You're welcome, we're here with Mr. Li Xuan, and he's going to take a look at the No. 1 horse that was injured in the first race, as well as the No. 5 horse, and he's going to pay for these two horses. ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, you may be late, our horse farm has just decided to euthanize these two horses. Now, it should be in progress. The steward of the Jockey Club glanced at Li Xuan suspiciously. How could this young man be so virtuous that he needed to be accompanied by the Queen and the Governor of Hong Kong in person. But no matter what kind of big shot you are, if you're late, you're late. (To be continued.) )
