In fact, as I said the other day on the show, THEY ARE ROOTING FOR INJURIES TO HORSES TO FURTHER THEIR FINANCIAL GOALS.. They are the depraved parties in this equation.

I know there are charities out there that don't care about their cause but simply are about lining the pockets of the heads of the charity.
I'm certainly not an expert on PETA and I don't agree with everything they say and do. But I think that lady who is the head of PETA, I believe her name is Ingrid Newkirk, is legitimately extremely concerned with the welfare of animals. If you have any evidence to the contrary, I would love to hear it.
I don't understand why you're so focused on PETA. I'm in the horseracing business and I don't care what PETA says about horseracing. Some of what PETA says is true and some of it is not true. Regardless of what PETA says, I know we have a lot of problems in horseracing that need to be fixed. I don't need PETA to tell me that. I see it first-hand every day.
I'm certainly not mad at PETA. I can't blame them for speaking up, even if some of their crticism is off-base. There certainly is some truth to some of the things they say. Even BTW said, "There is at least a hint of truth in some of what they say."
As I said, I have no anger towards PETA. My anger is at the people in the industry who are dragging their feet and doing everything they can to make sure that nothing changes with medication.
