Greyhounds and horses with Jedda and Georgie is the longest title we believe we have had on our show before. This podcast may raise some eyebrows in some circles as both ladies are involved in the racing industry. Not unlike most industries, there is speculation and often untruths around what people think and feel. This occurs more often when people feel strong emotions about something they see as aversive.
It’s true that animal racing industries have had dark past and unscrupulous people. Those people are seeping into all the cracks however and it has to be identified as a people problem. People cause problems in rescue industries as well. Well meaning, big hearted people can be huge issues without even knowing it.
Greyhounds and horses with Jedda and Georgie is about what jedda Ctlack and Georgie Harrington bring to the industry. Both ladies are ethical, dedicated caring individuals who love their dogs and horses and want the best for them. they also want better standards overall.
When we have these types of people in the racing industries, we know we have people who are there to care. We also need to be aware that some of these animals want to and enjoy the thrill of the race.
Some people believe that an ideal life for an animal is a sedentary lifestyle. Laying on the couch getting fat, is not the life an active animal desires and it’s not what their genes beckon for.
But neither is cruelty and mistreatment. Or role is custodians of the animals we care for must be one of love, compassion and respect.
