This group attempts
self-destruction every

When they make claims like this,
anything legitimate cause attached to them
is rendered suspect.

I'm surprised that PETA doesn't have a rapid response team available after major racing events to capitalize on the attention the media gives to breakdowns. After Bramlage gives his interview, a PETA representative can give their version of events.

their statement is full of contradictions;

first they say that Eight Belles was "doubtlessly injured before the finish"

then they say well even if the jockey didn't feel anything in advance, then the blame is because they are allowed to whip the horses mercilessly.

these people aren't required to make an sense when they issue a statement.
