There s no good reason there cannot be federal legislation addressing medication and slaughter issues with the states responsible for other regulation and administration of all regs.
There are federal laws that apply to the insurance industry and yet states are responsible for regulation.
And not loving a sport or business has nothing to do with whether you can regulate it.

Though I believe that the RMTC has done many things the wrong way the basic mission that they have is a good one. To say that nothing has been done concerning the drug issue is wrong. It may have not been conducted in the most efficent or effective manner but to act as though nothing has been done or that the feds will have a better plan is simply wrong.
Horse slaughter is not a horseracing problem, it is a people problem. The vast majority of horses sent for slaughter arent racehorses. If there were effective laws made by Congress, horseslaughter would not be an issue. Of course then all the unwanted horses roaming around starving would become an issue as it has already.
Only you can believe that Whitfield 1 and 2 have good intentions especially in light of her humane Society connection after she magically appeared at the KHRA's doorstep.
