This is pretty amazing stuff. Unfortunately for PETA, when they speak out on an issue, even a legitimate issue, they lose all credibility.

I can tell you this, as a 23 year dedicated horse player, I would personally back PETA (send money or do whatever it took) if they would focus their attention on irradicating illegal drugs in horse racing. I very much feel the drugs are inhumane and border on cruelity. I would support anything that attacks the people that use these drugs at the expense of the horses.

What do you mean by irradicating illegal drugs? That if PETA gets involved then they will really be in trouble for breaking the law?

if you back PETA the only thing that will happen is someone will have a payment for their charter jet, SUV or million dollar office/ mansion.


And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
