Would Aristotle Ride?
A discussion of the ethics of horse ownership.
We may see the day when riding horses is illegal, and if you think that sounds outrageous go talk to someone in the greyhound racing industry, a Montreal caleche driver or a modern pentathalon athlete. When we fail to do right by our animals (or fail to be SEEN as doing right by our animals) we risk losing our social licence to ride.
Join us for a thought provoking conversation that begins with the question: is it OK to ride horses?
