I also disagree with her in most of her claims.
1) Racehorses are bred to run and the fact that they run, racing or elsewhere, is quite the opposite of inhumane.
2) Racehorses are typically given the best feed and bedding, compared to others on pastures and fields.
3) Racehorses are looked after more medically. Of course owners and trainers want to identify any ailments in order to produce the best racing outcomes. But, regardless of the incentive, money is spent to keep racehorses healthy.

I do agree with her on some of the issues. The points she makes about drugs and inhumane treatment of retired horses is spot on. Drugging a horse, without the concern of their longterm well being is abhorent.

Discarding of retired horses, breaking their legs, etc? Come on...are you kidding me? That is serial killer type behavior. What kind of person can stand there and watch a horses leg get broken by dragging it with a truck? That is absolutely non human behavior. That person should be investigated for any unsolved murders.

Well, according to this article, Pam Anderson and her large, fake breasts are a problem, as they have been linked to increased suicide risk. What is PETA going to do now? They are represented by a woman who has had an unethical (but nice) procedure that leads to increased suicide risk for humans to promote a more ethical treatment of animals. Interesting...

In the majority, racehorses around the world are treated well 365 days of the year. They are bred to do the job of racing.

The majority of these horses love doing their 'job'.

It's just a sad fact that a tiny percentage of people in this industry let the side down, and it is this tiny percentage that the 'haters' pick up on. There are trainers out there that don't provide the best care, that don't treat their horses with the respect they deserve. Whatever the industry there is always going to be a small number that spoil it, why? Who knows.

It was an interesting point about the drugs. Do you guys really think the horses actually become addicted to these drugs, especially in America where druf usage is high, although legal? I must say, coming from a country where drugs are strctly forbidden in the sport i am against it, but after all of these years it would be almost impossible to change that ruling.

Pure drivel from a PETA inspired WACKO!

Quote:
Think about Alydar, who placed in all three Triple Crown races in 1978. His owners claimed he shattered his leg when he kicked his stall door. According to the FBI investigating insurance fraud, his leg was deliberately broken when it was tied with a rope to a pickup truck and pulled.
I'd love to see that from a legetimate source.............won't happen. (I don't think)

What happened to the 2x4 theory or the crowbar theory.

Rope would have left marks, truck would have left tracks. I have seen the barn Alydar was in. He was found in his stall. I guess they dragged him around, then got him back into his stall without a trace of blood or anything.
