The hypocrisy of complaints about horse racing as compared to other events is appalling....
I love racing obviously but your comparsion is really suspect.. Scott made the decision to race... Eight Belles was bred and trained to do it... Peta does care if a horse dies running thru a fence on a farm they care if the horse dies doing something it doesn't do on it's free will.. Like horses haven't been working for mankind since the being of time. PETA sucks but I don't get the comparsion either
