the number is closer to ten percent of horses slaughtered which equates to almost 30 percent of each years foal crop.

little cliff wasn't saved because of any sticker on his foal papers, he was bought out of a kill pen after his trainer ignored Kim Zito's request that she be called if he needed a home.

the TB industry DID play a large roll in getting the current bill passed, but that doesn't mean that it's enough, and it doesn't mean that there are not trainers all over this country selling their also-rans to meat middlemen.

I'm not saying that the piece wasn't sensationalized (what 'news' program isn't), but your 'facts' are no more accurate than his Matt.
