While not all the “vanned off” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our subsequent reporting. “Bled,” “Returned Bleeding From Nostrils”: pulmonary hemorrhage.
How many horses have to be abused, doped and killed so these people can boast that the “equestrian community” provides jobs and “enriches” the community…?
Moral depravity does not enrich anything, anyone or any community! This so-called sport is a depraved bloodsport that needs to be recognized as the criminal activity that it is and punished.
The following quote is attributed to Albert Schweitzer:
The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate amusements based on the mistreatment and killing of animals.
The time will come, but when?
When will we reach the point that killing animals for sport will be regarded as a mental aberration.
The protests have to continue, making more people aware has to continue, the pressure to end this has to continue until the money dries up…until then, the killing will go on. Humans are the most greedy cruel creatures on earth. What kind of world have we created when we, as a nation, allow animal (and children) abuse. The masses need to rise up. Horse Racing Wrongs is making it much harder for them. 💪🏼
