Actually, I shouldn't say nobody wants to see it. The animal rights activists want to see it. They like watching animals get hurt because it allows them to stand up on their pedestal and browbeat the people they find inferior to themselves.

But the difference is one is human-nature, the other is strictly for entertainment purposes. Besides allot of these horses die of a ruptured heart, they can't handle these events. Clearly the drivers are pushing them beyond resonable (humane) limits.... for money and show.
