HORSES FIGHTING TO THE DEATH IS MUSLIM FESTIVAL TRADITION

Horse fighting to the death - conducted on the Phillipine Island of Mindanao - by muslims in the name of "fun" & also as a source of gambling -is equally if not more despicable.

Hold on! Gambling is illegal in the cult of islam. That is what I have been told.

Families gather in their thousands and children climb trees for a better view of the festival taking place below.
The crowd cheer and laugh — the object of their excitement a bloodied stallion kicked so brutally by another that its eyeballs have been dislodged from their sockets.
Welcome to the vile spectator sport of HORSE-FIGHTING.
A mare in season is tethered to the side of a filthy, makeshift pen to ignite sexual rivalry among the stallions and guns are fired into the air to panic them into violence.
In the wild, the gentle giants never fight to the death. Males clash over mates, as well as leadership rights, but the weaker ones give in to the stronger ones before they are seriously injured or killed.
Yet in the depraved, man-made heat of the fight ring, they are not allowed to back down and thousands of stallions are maimed, crippled or killed each year.
