I have to disagree. PETA is waging war regardless so the industry may as well fight back. While I think this particular piece was a little too long winded, I think the general point of showing that PETA is a fraud and doesn’t actually care about horses is a good point to make.

I think we all know that some changes are coming. Do we want people who work with the horses every day and love them dearly steering the ship or do we want people full of mostly hot air leading the way? I think this is an important step to tell the general public - don’t listen to PETA. We know there are problems and we are going to do our best to fix them.
