Through a FOIA request to the North Dakota Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kill at Chippewa Downs on June 23:
Killer Fast
“fracture distal limb”
(Please note: North Dakota is among the lightest of racing-states, with but a handful of live-racing dates each year.)
Doping, cheating, maiming, killing, dying in the dirt, and carnage.
This is the wonderful world of horse racing.
Don’t be fooled by the fancy hats and mint juleps – get the facts.
This industry breeds around 20,000 racehorses per year for one race: The Kentucky Derby.
Only 1% of racehorses make it into the gate for the Derby every year.
The rest?
Most become disposable and toil in the claiming ranks until they can no longer give to these human parasites.
Vile.
