Anybody with a bit of sense and compassion, surely the effort to keep animals off the road for a few hours is little to ask to keep animals alive and safe..
The organisers have a duty to keep the sport safe I would say, not only for spectators or animals but also for the drivers etc. The landowners, well, If they own the animals it would be in their best interest to make sure they can't get to the track.
Aren't most animals behind a fence for most roads in the UK? Obviously single track roads you'll find the odd sheep kicking about but there's generally signage put in place and sometimes calming measures.. if there was an event taking place involving high speed cars I'm sure the animals would be rounded up/penned up/fenced off/whatever...
I don't know, it's just me, doesn't sound like too much to ask.. a life or a lap time?
I'm sure the horse is none the wiser |

As I'm involved with organising and running car rallies, it is not always possible to fence all roads.
Look at the Otterburn Ranges in Northumberland. The farmers move the cattle and sheep away from the roads, but sheep are inherently THICK and will do the unexpected and frequently do!! Cattle are scared of noise so normally won't wander back to the roads, but as we use straw bales for chicanes and that is food even though it is wrapped in plastic, when things go quiet, they wander to the food!!
The organisers have several cars circulating prior to the competitors and will report back to the start radio any sightings of animals on or near the road and will try and move them away.
What about forests? Ever thought about the mileage involved. It is not possible to fence the tracks. OK, it is only the odd rogue sheep or deer, but they have been hit as well and this is only in the UK. Look at the Argentina plains or similar places, the size of the places are to large to manage.
The organisers do what they can but accidents do happen and it is not only animals that get hurt. John Phillips was watching the Harry Flatters Rally on the Epynt Ranges - https://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Wales-Rally-Crash-Spectator-Dies-After-Collision-At-Harry-Flatters-Rally-Sennybridge/Article/200908115352369 - He was standing in a safe place and was well versed and knowledgeable in safety requirements.
Like I said, accidents do happen, we don't want them to, but they do and we do what we can to minimize the possibilities. ____________________ One of the "Boys from the Wall" |
