Just Watch Real Sports?
(arimoore)
When you’re done weeping and vomiting, I would encourage you to start your own personal Pony Up! program. Everyone can help.
I sincerely hope the members of the Thoroughbred Safety Committee keep that footage in mind when they discuss (drastically) reducing the number of mares covered by stallions.
And here’s Ed DeRosa’s piece on Little Cliff in case you missed it last month.

It was very sad and upsetting. This has been a tough week.
you can say that again…
that was a nightmare to watch, and even more painful to know that this conitues to go on. I was ashamed to be human seeing that. What these horses must feel like; how much we have betrayed them. How any race track could let the ‘meat man’ on their property is appauling. Just goes to show you how many pieces of shit are in this industry. And they wonder why racing is a dying sport. you get what you put out.
yeah, it was one thing to know it goes on, but to see it was another. i’m really glad they showed it, but thought they totally dropped the ball at the end of the segment.
they could have done more prompting of people to contact their elected officials, they could have put some heat on the industry to address it, they could have even shown the url for another chance for horses, but nothing.
