SBS draws ire for ‘form guide’ asking which Melbourne Cup horses will die
SBS’ youth-oriented news brand The Feed has drawn ire after posting a “Form Guide” just hours before The Melbourne Cup asking which of the contenders will be euthanised.
The form guide was then promoted by SBS2 on Twitter, provoking an angry response from race fans.
In the piece McKinnon slams the industry and the people who support it.
Bad taste? Of course it is, that’s the point surely! Just like a bunch of wankers getting trashed while a horse is shot on the track could be considered bad taste.
Killing a horse for fun. Always a great spectacle. Congrats SBS for having the guts to stand up.
Well done to SBS for presenting a view that many Australians now share.
Agreed – well done to SBS for having the guts to run the piece and show this perspective
Total trash but I guess some people think they’re funny and edgy. What crap.
