Breed-specific bans have been passed, where it's currently legal to come to your door and take your dogs away.

"Animal" legislative actions, in multiple states, are currently extremely proactive and well-funded.

Something to keep a very close watch upon, if one has any interest in animals.

There is currently an underground railroad for those that have pet pit bulls and are no longer allowed to own them. Not dogs that have gotten in trouble, not dogs that are used for illegal activities, just someones pet, and due to a wide sweeping bill they are now banned.
Well funded is an understatement.
As far as horse racing no one is saying there aren't some folks that conduct themselves illicitly and it is a disgrace, but there is also often times a misrepresentation of the actual facts.
