I have just watched an episode in which Geoff attended a horse race. A horse had sadly broken a bone just below one of his fetlocks and Geoff didn't even attempt to give the horse a second chance - he dispatched of the unfortunate animal as quickly as he possibly could. He walked off saying something like "oh, that's just racing." As a vet, he should be totally against the sport and not supporting it as he so readily does! Another incident involving a horse also sickened me. Spirit a rescue had quite a few problems and was off his food one day. Well, Geoff didn't give putting the creature down a second thought.

I have seen him treat many a cat and dog (and other smaller more pet like animals) with far worse injuries and illnesses with success. Just look at Achilles the cat - paralysed, yet allowed to go on living and has now made an almost complete recovery.

What is it that Geoff has against horses? There have been so many advances in the way they can be treated - they are given prosthetic limbs, hip replacements and artificial knees. Yet, a horse with a small broken bone in his back leg is put down. Why?? I will not be watching again.
