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.)
Ike, cheap claiming race at Canterbury didn’take it back to his barn.
ABUSE, BRUTALITY, CRUELTY, & DEATH: this is the reality of the horseracing industry.
This practice of ROUTINELY ABUSING HORSES should be punished severely, not rewarded or propped up in any way, shape or form.
BAN HORSERACING!!!!!
