The Grand National..National Treasure or National Disgrace?
Discussion
Listening here on Radio5
Ricky Gervais has made his feelings clear.
Asked by Bacon, who was broadcasting from Aintree as part of the BBC's build-up to Saturday's Grand National, what offended him, Gervais said: "Well you're at Aintree, I don't think that people should make horses jump over things being whipped and when they injure themselves they are put down because they are not worth having around because of economic reasons".
"Basically a beautiful majestic beast that took 2 billion years to evolve has just been slaughtered for fun".
