  1. This is an abusive industry that brutalizes horses every day. The cruelty of racing and exploiting horses for wagering is a vice in the human character.
    Gambling is one thing but using horses as gambling objects is vile. These horses didn’t deserve to be treated like this for human entertainment or money. Horses deserve so much better than this daily routine cruelty that is so brutal for the horses that their bodies can’t take it. Horse racing is horse abuse.
