Charm the Lute, a 4-year-old filly under the whip for the 7th time, had this outcome in the 3rd yesterday at Louisiana Downs: “CHARM THE LUTE up close early from between foes, was pulled up entering the turn in distress and was euthanized” (Equibase). Short, miserable life; short, miserable obituary.
This is horseracing.
Thank you so much for these posts! It is horrible, abominable, sickening and inhumane! The very worst part is we STILL have people in horse industries that believe this isn’t an issue. It is important to show pictures of the people who go to watch the spectacle of carnage for the purpose of “enjoying themselves”. I simply want to strangle them!
Sadly the Equine Welfare in Louisiana as a whole is not seen as a priority, case in point Dr Drip and Fort Polk Horses of Kisatchie.
