The kill pens are inundated with thoroughbredsome with tattoos cruelly burned off, acid burning, cutting, etc. These horses are drugged to withstand prior trauma just to race. Then mutilated to hide true ownership! It is a disgrace to our country. The blatant corruption is out of control as is the cruelty to these used horses. Why does government allow this. President Trump, drain the growing horse racing swamp of evil corruption! These horses deserve respect. I despise what this racing industry has become and NO one does ANYTHING to stop it.REPORT COMMENTS

I worked on a horse farm and I have seen the mistreatment of race horses. I, like many people, used to bet on the races a good bit, however, after seeing some horrific accidents and injuries to the animals, the excitement I used to get from watching them has worn off and it has been replaced with anxiety and praying I never witness anything so horrific and upsetting again. I was at the Preakness when the gate malfunctioned and Barbaro took off too early, was subsequently shoved right back into the gate, no time to cool out, when the gate opened again and he tripped over himself and injured his legs. I was also at the track when Eight Belles went down at the KY Derby. Terrible day. I couldn't stop crying. Horses are living, breathing beings who honestly have all of the same emotions we do. I know this because I have cared for race horses. They don't want to be forced into racing for someone else's profit. As much as I LOVE to see these majestic animals in action, my heart tells me that it's just not right. If you love and value your horse, you will not risk injury simply because you want to make a profit. I never could figure that out. Today's horses are not strong, sturdy animals like they were 100 years ago. The breed has evolved and not for the better. I love horses but I would much prefer to see them being cared for and allowed to live freely and in peace.REPORT COMMENTS

Horseracing needs to END!!!! PERIOD!!!!! These atrocities are unspeakable. What is it going to take? How many animals have to live these horrific lives before this industry is held accountable even a tiny bit?! I can't stand it anymore! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Also, if you are ANY part of this horror show in ANY way; if you turn a blind eye, or remain silent, or God-forbid defend this evilness, YOU are just as much to blame!! And I hope in the next life, you suffer their same exact fate!!REPORT COMMENTS
