Today's GrokIt:
Now that horse racing is banned in this state maybe Massachusetts should do like in Abu Dhabi:

Since it's against the law to use kidnapped children as jockeys in Abu Dhabi, the camel owners of course turned to technology (albeit low tech) to now have robots pilot their camels. While not exactly C3PO, these 'robots' are remote controlled to talk to the camel (why exactly?) and whip the camel (I get that!). Not exactly robosports but a step in the right direction!

I have no problem with it.
its not a good idea they shouldn't abuse the animals they should abuse themselves
i dont like it.
I don't support animal racing of any kind because it is abusive to the animal.
I don't support animal racing its cruel and unfair to the animal they shouldn't be whipped by a robot.
I think the fact that they switched to robots from children was a good choice but as far as the state of the animal goes in any circumstance, it is still negative since they are being whipped and yelled at so they are forced to run due to fear
Its still animal cruelty even if kids arent being used it still isnt good
