Penn National anti-slaughter policy violation?

and there isn't really a system to deal with retired racehorses. and there's supply and demand-and the demand for t'breds who can't race isn't near enough to match the supply. it's easy to say they can do better, or find them all a good home-everything works in theory, right?

so, i just found out a friend of mine (truck driver) has a new job. he drives horses to the mexican border.
he said at least 60 a week are racehorses.

now, that's just one hauler. do the math. 60*52= 3120 a year, just on one truck. how many trucks a week go to mexico? 10, 20? 100? just from this area....what about further west, north, east?
so, start looking at the numbers-it would be impossible to find homes for those horses, no matter how hard you try. that's the stark and depressing reality.
