Squires strong NYT sports blog piece

[Better Than Honour]

I respect your posting but you leave out quite a bit of the piece. What you posted is true and obviously the crazy PETA people are just that, crazy.

However you leave out the most important parts of the piece.

"The thoroughbred horse is one of God’s most magnificent and willing creatures, and unfortunately, self-destructive enough by nature. They don’t need all this help from those of us who love them."

"We can also shift the focus of veterinary medicine. Medications that mask injuries and weaknesses must be controlled strictly and uniformly in all racing jurisdictions, and regulators should be adequately funded by the industry if government cannot do so. We should quit trying to quick-cure problems in time for the race."
