Horse fighting brings out the Muslim crowds in Mindanao, where stallions are whipped up into a frenzy of sexual rivalry by a mare in heat, and then forced to fight to the death…all in the name of fun. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” –Mahatma Gandi
THE OPINIONATOR Last February I wrote a post titled Muslim Run Dogfighting Becoming Rampant in the UK– I began the blog with the statement: “As far as I am concerned there is little more despicable than dog fighting.”
Well horse fighting to the death – conducted on the Phillipine Island of Mindanao – by Muslims in the name of “fun” & also as a source of gambling -is equally if not more despicable.
“Mindanao is the second-largest and the most southerly island, with a very different feel from the rest of the country. A variety of Muslim ethnic groups live here.”
Interesting but not surprising that you won’t find this clear muslim association to the Island population as well as to the festival/horse fighting mentioned in the article below. Let’s hope that Mindanao does indeed have “a very different feel from the rest of the country (Phillipines) because what you read & see below will undoubtedly make your stomach churn with repulsion.
It is past time for this Muslim tradition to be stopped – permanently!
23 Oct 2008 FAMILIES gather in their thousands and children climb trees for a better view of the festival taking place below. The crowd cheer and laugh – the object of their excitement a bloodied stallion kicked so brutally by another that its eyeballs have been dislodged from their sockets. Welcome to the vile spectator sport of HORSE-FIGHTING.
The savagery was BANNED there ten years ago but is still sickeningly rife deep in the jungles. These shocking pictures from a three-day fight festival held on Mindanao Island, in the eastern Philippines, show the “sport” in all its barbarity.
Normally placid stallions are whipped up into violent frenzies by sick organisers desperate to put on a show and make money from betting. A mare in season is tethered to the side of a filthy, makeshift pen to ignite sexual rivalry among the stallions and guns are fired into the air to panic them into violence.
In the wild, the gentle giants never fight to the death. Males clash over mates, as well as leadership rights, but the weaker ones give in to the stronger ones before they are seriously injured or killed.
Yet in the depraved, man-made heat of the fight ring, they are not allowed to back down and thousands of stallions are maimed, crippled or killed each year.
And it isn’t over quickly. These frequently ill-matched fights are drawn out for up to 45 minutes before a victor is declared.
Last night a spokesman for Canadian welfare group Network for Animals, who are campaigning to end the contests, urged Brits to add their voice. He said: “If people want to help stop these tournaments they should write to the Philippine Embassy in London and tell them they will not visit their country unless urgent action is taken.
Thousands of eager spectators travel long distances to see the beautiful animals pitched against each other in contests fixed by criminal gangs and corrupt cops. Trainers teach the horses how to fight and the nightmarish spectacles are big business in poor communities.
Campaigning veterinary surgeon Dino Yebron, who attends tournaments in the hope of saving as many horses as he can, says: “This is obscene. “The horses are trained to fight, trained to bite and trained to kick – and all this is manipulated by the trainers so they can win.”
Kerstin Alford, of animal welfare charity The Blue Cross, adds: “In the wild, it is normal for stallions to fight for the right to rule a herd but nature takes its course when the stronger animal emerges and the other retreats.
“These fighting rings, however, force the horses together in an artificial situation where they don’t have the option of backing down and literally have to fight for their lives.
“It’s truly appalling that this inhumane practice is allowed to continue and that anyone could find it entertaining.” UK THE SUN

Death.
To.
islam.
All bad things to the phillipines until they put a stop to this.
It’s been illegal there for at least 20 years but that doesn’t stop them from doing it. I think I recall reading that Muslims in Mindanao are a parallel society where they make their own laws.
Isn’t that the way it has always been? Parallel, no go zones! We see it right here in the US in Michigan, Minnesota and other areas.
Yes
Moslems are a disease.
Maybe they could train those horses to kill moslems.
The HOLY ONE, our Kind, Merciful, Compassionate Creator, created animals, horses and humans with INFINITE LOVE and CARE.
Muslims reveal their intense hate for the Righteous HOLY ONE, our Precious Creator, Pure, Holy and Absolutely Good who dwells in unapproachable light, by massively abusing and barbarically slaughtering animals, horses and humans with Extreme Cruelty, Savagery and Barbarism.
The animals, horses and humans that Almighty God created with great LOVE and CARE.
they are messed up i think god bred them wrong all they do is disrespect them watch things are going to change real quick they will take it back and i want all of them to pay they should burn and go to hell
You ever think that in a parallel universe, The Nazis rounded up Muslims and put them to death in the camps?
What makes it a Muslim traddition?
Muslims love to abuse animals.
Is that your only supporting “evidence”?
Ever hear of Google? Research it yourself.
But you’re the ones publishing the article. Seems the only reason to leave out supporting facts is that they don’t exist so they can’t support your claims.
Ameture “reporting” at it’s worse. You obviously have one goal, to spread hate.
No, Muslims do that all by themselves. Now get off my blog. You are as vile as the muslims you defend.
But thanks for bringing to the attention of my new readers an article/video that was published here several years ago.
Death to islam!
Ah. Another reminder that Muslims are IDIOTS, and COWARDS. Not the women, just the men.
A lot of the women are, too.
Yes. Absolutely.
I do not like this is crul and awful to wach horse are nice creaters please if you read this please leve a reply and be with me people i love horse so much that this not right
Nobody loves horses more than I do. But this is how Muslims treat animals.
WOW! 1926.
Lol!!! We in the United States should be ashamed of ourselves we allow to men or women get in a UFC octagon and do the same thing but we make it ok because we are Christians. Everyone needs to look at themselves before judging Muslims or anyone else, let’s take care of our country before we try to run another country. Look what happened with Iraq and Afghanistan we should be ashamed of ourselves .
Mat, you are an idiot. Don’t comment here again.
Mat, you have a point. However, humans have a choice and are well cared for and understand why they are fighting. The horses don’t have a choice and are forced to fight. A human can back down or throw in the towel. The animals don’t have that option and there is no referee to prevent serious injry and death.
dwn, muslims seem to love abusing all kinds of animals.
You speak the truth Mat, it is about time English speaking people learned to mind their own business and stop interfering in Mindinao and else where, The Vietnam war should have taught them that it does not pay to meddle in other countries affairs.
This is not a Muslim tradition this is false.
Yes, it IS, in Mindanao.
I have lived in Mindano and I have not seen any evidence of any horse fighting.
So?
Percy cannot see anything with his head up his arse.
Well they surely wouldn’t do it in your back yard. They know this stuff offends decent people; you have to go looking if you want it.
Now to stop the bullfighting in spain.
Speechless.. it is as disgusting as bullfighting, cock fighting or dog fighting. Repulsive behavior that not even neanderthal man would have condoned it.
Luis, Muslims are abusive to many animals, especially dogs and every animal they ear.
Shows the sick mentality of so called god fearing muslims.If they can do this to animals,think what they would do if they ever came to power
What do you expect from these inbred assholes.
You never see a muslum able to get into a fair fight. They still sucking on their mothers tit for mild. The father is a PIG that had his way with sum muslems.
Please forgive my phone spelling.
I have horses too, but even if I didn’t this would still sickening and anger me. Yesterday, I saw a post in my fb feed, a female wolf. She had been trapped and they decided to torture her by strangulation. Then, as she was gasping for air and dying an agonizing, terrifying death the evil people that did this to this regal creature threw her up on their car roof and took pictures of her as she suffered. I detest people and I am not suposed to. I could almost actually feel her pain and sadness and fear. What the h… Have we become. The same kinds of people do these things to these horses. I wish I could go live on the top of a mountain…come SOON, Lord.!!!!
cmh, a lot of this on this website love animals more than people, especially the sub-human people reported on here. What kind of horses to do you have?
I agree with every word u say barenakedislam.
LOL, I don’t even agree with every word I say, but as a horse lover, this story especially disgusts me.
I am with you, same here.
I did not know they tortured horses also although they do rape them.
Islam produces entire tribes of psychopaths. We see this over and over and over again.
