As Pais brought up earlier today, the reality of this in terms of PETA themselves is strictly limited to their animus towards KFC (Yum! Brands).. That's what got them focused towards the Derby originally, when they caught on to spokesperson Pam Anderson's regular attending of it...

Let's see what the next day or two brings...

If we pay attention petas only report is poor horsey and they have no constructive solution. All they want is the pub. The more facts presented the dumber they look. Every 8 belles incident is $$$$$ to them.

I read on the internet that there were as many people rallying at the horse park FOR racing, compared to the PETA nut-cases.

Also, to get rid of their rumors of the horse being on steroids, Jones is having Eight Belles tested to prove that he didn't juice the horse up with roids.
That'll be a good PR move for all, as long as the horse comes out clean.
