ANOTHER two horses died in this year's Grand National. I can't remember a National where there wasn't a death and I am saddened that a nation known as animal lovers spends so much money betting on this vile race.

There are so many fun things to do which don't involve cruelty. This Grand National should be banished to the dark ages where it belongs.
