Cruelty?

[username]

I've only been to the races once. There I was having a grand time betting and watching when one of the horses tripped. Out came this big truck and they put up a tarp so we couldn't see what they were doing and they proceeded to put the horse down and load him up and take him away.

I lost all my taste for horseracing that night. No offense Duchess, but I'd be happy if it were outlawed. Plus, I've heard about some pretty horrible things (dogfood, anyone?) that happen to some horses that can't race anymore. Blurg.
