This is pretty careless, stupid sport and anyone who joins in any part of such a disgraceful way to treat horses is a lowlife and deserves the same treatment and end!

Umm… what about the racehorse Ferdinand, who was sent to slaughter in Japan? People, it happens with alarming frequency. Stop talking nonsense.

Oh, and here’s a story:

This poor former racehorse (Katie, known at the track as Di’s Debutante) was sold by the breeding farm and neglected; she survived by eating feces and bark.

Please post a link to the HBO special on racehorse slaughter. Show that video to these celebs. Maybe that will change their minds.

VeggieTart said it all: the animals don’t have a say, therefore it’s wrong. Anyway, how can anyone enjoy this sort of barbarity?

What matters is the horses don’t have a say in the matter. Sure some dogs and horses like to run, but not tied to a harness with seven other dogs or with a human on their back, in both cases getting the snot whipped out of them. Animal “entertainment” is cruel and unnecessary. If you want to watch a race, go watch auto racing–at least eveyrone involved in that has a say. If you want to bet on something, bet on football games, baseball games, hockey games and watch those instead.

e I am not Jane. I am a Thoroughbred owner. The Thoroughbred industry is against slaughter, and we are working to expose and get rid of those deadbeats who abuse horses and/or send them to slaughter.

I have been working for several years to pass legislation to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption. The folks who are fighting to keep it legal are not horsemen. The are meat industry apologists who see some “slippery slope” and they are supported by bottom level horse users.

Very few horses actually go to stud. The vast majority of horses who race are geldings, along with mares who don’t have the pedigree or performance record to breed on. The Thoroughbred industry has many adoption/retraining groups, because these horses can move on to second careers.

Dear Janine/Jane,

First of all you might want to keep it straight what your name is. And I never said “all horses go to slaughterhouses” in Fact I said WOW if horses don’t go to slaughterhouses that still doesn’t make horse racing good. It’s cruel heartless selfish entertainment. And if your best reply to me is to “suck it” then you’re more pathetic than the people who abuse the horses.

Oh yes they all go off to wonderful millionaire’s horses and live better lives than we do.

You know what your post and thoughts (and value) equal to Jane Janine?

That’s right.

No, you are wrong. We have rescued OVER 200 Thoroughbreds from Portland Meadows and Emerald Downs in the last 5 years alone from kill buyers at the auction where some are taken. Others were purchased from the back side where the trainers just wanted them gone. It didn’t matter if we were kill buyers or not!
