I think far less than 41% of the population actually won't wear leather. Also, apparently riding a donkey is worse than riding a horse, and dog races are worse than horse races.

Note they merge 'somewhat unacceptable' and 'unacceptable' into the bars, which is.... a choice.

Dog races are worse than horse races, mostly because the dogs are trained to be more-or-less psychotic. Horses, you can see as understanding the competition they're in and being (at least mostly) willing participants.

Can you explain about the dogs? I thought that while they aren't always treated well, running and chasing things is natural for them.
