holidays for hurting horses

30/10/09 at 08:40

I hate horse racing.
In Melbourne each year they have a large horse race,
a public holiday is declared and public drunkenness and gambling are promoted and encouraged.
I guess the worst thing is the spectacle of millions of people cheering and vomiting whilst poor horses and whipped to race around in circles. Gambling and alcoholism are vices that tear families apart and take a toll on the community, hence it seems strange for such a large state sponsored to promote these vices so heavily.

I think it’s totally amazing that things like this still occur, and it makes me think about the imbalance in peoples opinions about graffiti (which is generally just paint on walls) when compared to other social issues.

So I’ve made an edition of 100 prints (below) 90 of which are on the streets of Melbourne,
10 of the prints are available in the shop
