I'm not too crazy about any type of animal racing, but I believe the horses are pampered and well provided for. I breaks my heart to hear about animals getting injured during the race

quite honestly, even though i know it is popular, i do feel that it is kind of odd to force horses to run and then shoot them when they are no longer able. i am guilty of having visited the track in my life but i don't really feel all that great about it.

Dog racing is outlawed in most states in the USA because it is believed to be cruel. How is horse racing any different?

absolutely..so many are raced when they are to young pushed to there limit, then retired at 4 years old to be sent to Mexico or Canada to be inhumanly butchered to be sent overseas to France and China...We owe horses better than this..

Yes, but so are allot of things we do to animals. The fatalities and injuries in horse racing are really high and retired racehorses often have really severe issues both mentally and physically.

Racehorses that run (and win) the big-money races may be treated well but most horse racing is smaller, seeder and has allot more abuse.
