Horse racing is cruel and unjust, and many average people huddle around their TVs to watch, oblivious to the abuse hidden in plain sight. Horses are given shots to hide their pain and fear, shots that make them burst forward like a dog gone rabid. Think about how a horse can feel a tiny, seemingly weightless fly and rid it with the twitch of a muscle. What do you think helps them do that? Their sensitive skin. The skin that is smacked with crops and whips, leaving open wounds and later scars, their past unmistakable. Dumped at an auction after people have broken them, they are then k!lled for their meat to be consumed by the very kind who caused their misery, their pain, and their suffering. Help ban racing, and stop watching races in excitement.
