While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our year-end FOIA reports. But even if death is not the ultimate result, the above are victims nonetheless, suffering painful injuries – in the case of the bleeders, pulmonary hemorrhage – so that some men may gamble, others chase pots of gold. (For any new confirmed deaths during the week, please see our running annual list.)
They are running these horses in horrendous heatwaves. There were 2 jockeys refusing to race in the heat. Just wondering if they were more afraid of the horse passing out beneath them rather than welfare of all concerned??
A horse actually did fall at the wire at Delaware park on Saturday due to probable heat exhaustion. They cancelled their races the rest of the day.. I was very surprised they did that.
Reblogged this on Armory of the Revolution.
This must stop! It’s horrible.
