Precisely. This is an attempt to end racing but part of an overall constant attempt to get more money. Doing what we can to hamper their ability to solicit donations matters. The truth about their kill rate would affect their support with legislators and the willingness of the public to contribute to their supposed cause. People need to understand that if you have a pet, PETA stands against you. This isn't about being aghast at Santa Anita, and it never was.
