People Suck

After watching the Kentucky Derby Saturday and seeing a horse fall that had to be euthanized right then and there on the track due to compound fractures on both front ankles, I wanted to know more about race horses.

Race horses are a lot more expensive then racing greyhounds. But, are they treated any better?

Doesn't sound like it.

That poor horse. I have been on the fence about busting on horse racing but to be honest I think the only difference between it and dog racing is the money. Oh, and horses get sent to slaughter and eaten instead of to the backwoods for a bullet to the head. Yeah, much better than dog racing.
