Harvey Norman
Ethics

Harvey Norman constantly advertises on TV. He often is interviewed on Radio, complaining about poor sales and people shopping over the internet. He is a race horse owner and usually attends the Magic Millions event on the Gold Coast, and is reputed to own around 100 racehorses. I recently heard on ABC radio that 2/3 of all racehorses end up at the knackery and as pet food. The irony is that although he complains about consumers and sales, he is involved in an unethical sport, in which horses are objectified into money making and "sport", which I regard as contemptible. It seems rather ironical to be complaining about falling sales, and income presumably, then on the other hand, having a "business" which discards horses to their death when they fail to perform. I would never buy anything from his stores, and I tell everyone about the death rate for racehorses, a disgraceful reflection on the racing industry
