Disgusting!!!! STOP THE ABUSE!!!!!
Grade I, II, & III Level horseracing is ABUSE of horses on a Silver Platter.
The horses are abused in ways that I don’t think most people can comprehend.
How many people are forcefully being injected against their will with various kinds of dope, both legal and illegal, that they have no control over? How many people are being shocked with various types of electrical devices by someone who dominates their whole lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
These “professional” pseudo-horsemen would cry foul and have me arrested for assault IF I were to administer a certain type of electrical current to the physical bodies of these “professional” pseudo-horsemen who shock horses and call it therapy.
Do you really believe that when your body is absorbing electricity against your will that you are “relaxed”?
All this horror is really inexplicable. In my opinion, it’s not just about the money, but for the pleasure of destroying lives and delirium of omnipotence
