“Animal Rights” is a much used term. One that is as common as it is misunderstood. Many, if not most, animal activists are unclear on what Animal Rights means. It is usually used in an exclamatory context to emphasize one’s support for animal issues or to oppose animal cruelty and exploitation. But one can be…
Fifty million animals were murdered while I slept. Another two million were born into slavery while I showered. A million while I dressed, two million during breakfast.
Animal Rights re-defines what it means to be a human being. It flies in the face of thousands of years of religious practices and beliefs! It defies human self-interest, arrogance, cruelty and bigotry.
Horseracing Wrongs 5-year-old Go With Honor was killed training at Finger Lakes this morning; the “report”: “received a fx to the 3rd metatarsal of the left hind limb.” Did you get that, he “received” the fracture. Sick. GWH, by the way, is the 67th horse to perish at a NYS track this year. But it…
Horseracing Wrongs We activists talk often about horses falling through the ranks – their value dropping with their “production” as they make their way from elite tracks to seedy racinos. More often than not, this ends badly – for most, slaughter, for others, simply being run into the ground, with each successive “connection” trying to…
Horseracing Wrongs The entirety of Salto Del Sabio’s “career”: Made Jul 23, 2017. First race Nov 6, 2020, at Gulfstream W: second-to-last, 23 lengths back. Race 2, Dec 4 at Gulfstream: last, 31 lengths back (also “hit rail”). Race 3, Dec 31 at Gulfstream: second-to-last, 54 lengths back. Three days later, Jan 3, 2021: killed…
Horseracing Wrongs Matt Major, 11, was killed (fractured pastern) in the 7th at Monticello yesterday. He is the 7th dead racehorse at Monticello this year; for all NY harness tracks, this is kill #14 – both extraordinary numbers. View original post
Horseracing Wrongs At 1:24 yesterday at Thistledown, Sweetnessncharm “suffered a catastrophic injury before the half mile pole” of race 2 – “and was euthanized.” He was four years old. About 2 1/2 hours later, The Tabulator “suffered a catastrophic injury past the eighth pole” of race 7 – “and was euthanized.” He was six years…
Horseracing Wrongs Back in March, I wrote about Sequana, one of the worst track-cruelty cases yet. Shortly thereafter, owing to our pressure, Sequana was released from his servitude at the nefarious Camarero Race Track. And a few days ago, I received the following: “Thank you for the work you do. I recently adopted Sequana from…
Horseracing Wrongs “The All American Quarter Horse Futurity Trials” were held at Ruidoso Downs yesterday. As the name implies, all the entrants were babies, 2-year-olds. As you can imagine, and as I’ve documented several times in the past, there were multiple “bumps” and “fractious” horses, even a “flipped [in] paddock.” But there were also no…

Horseracing Wrongs Through a FOIA request to the Arizona Dept. of Gaming, I have confirmed the following kills at Arizona Downs thus far this year. (I previously filed a request for Turf that covered Jan-Apr.) (For three of the horses below – Robin’s, Perrys, Separate – full necropsy reports were not in yet.) Robin’s Legacy,…
Horseracing Wrongs In its August issue, the Hill Country Observer did a long cover story on Saratoga Race Course – and us: “For the love of horses: Animal rights activists target Saratoga’s crown jewel.” The full piece merits your attention, but before you read, a thought. The journalist, Stacey Morris, who I feel was exceedingly…
