I am not against horse racing but I am against cruelty to these beautiful horses all in the name of greed. And the horses that cant race or are too slow are taken to the slaughter house. I dont believe that the top dog show people take their puppies that are not show quality to the slaughter house.I think that they are placed in pet homes. |
Ummm I have to disagree with people not keeping their show dogs in crates 24/7 I KNOW SOME THAT DO and they are TOP SHOW BREEDERS
I know people who own race horses and the ones that aren't up for the race are not taken to the slaughter house, some are sold for breeding purposes, as brood mares, stallions ect...you don't put down a very good pedigreed horse just because they can't run you use them in other ways....and they are also sold to homes for riding...
