Thoughts on this letter to the editor?

[Split Rock]

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.
