Tom, on my first trip to Toga Mrs. Whitney was having health problems and I couldn't understand why everyone was so concerned whether she would make an appearance at her yearly Ball. She did and it was on the front page Sunday morning. Now I know why.

She isn't the only one doing something like this though, there are many, and others that are planning it, just figuring out the proper channels

Oh My God, just noticed that avatar....

Poor Scavs he just makes the rounds in horsey.... uhhhh.... porn sites.

But to the article yes very nice and uplifting to read things like this, especially when today's PETA e-mail is front page stories on horse slaughter.
Yes I subscribed to PETA, I don't belong and don't believe in their philosophy of animal "rights" I believe in animal welfare, but I like to see what the peta whackos are up to. Guess it's all post TC for them to grab onto.

I think I need to activate the ability to see avatars given the recent out of controlness

Wow. I clicked and read that article, Beth. That is a sack full of stupid. Let me get this straight- "hundreds of thousands of Thoroughbreds" are shipped to Japan each year, where "20,000" are slaughtered each year. So what happens to the other, at minimum, 180,000? While the 20,000 might be an accurate figure, I suspect PETA is making up the "hundreds of thousands." Especially since what, 35,000 TB foals are born each year? Not to mention the threat that Charismatic and War Emblem will meet the same fate as Ferdinand did (what, no Silver Charm love?). Sigh.

Although, for what it's worth, the petition seems to be about stopping sale of TBs to Japan and limiting overbreeding of TBs, not about banning horse racing. Not saying I agree or disagree, but the piece is focusing on slaughter practices.
