As we gather to celebrate what I hope for all is a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season, let us not forget the hundreds (with plenty more to come: end of year FOIA reports) of horses who have been sacrificed this year for gambling, entertainment.
Thank you for your unwavering support of our cause. Merry Christmas.
