Thank God PETA would never exaggerate or leave out facts n order to make their point!! LOL

My guess is you probably dislike PETA for the very same reasons you are agreeing with them against horse racing. .

I love animals as much as I love people, but I have the same amount of respect for PETA as I do for the Westboro Baptist Church.

...None whatsoever

I think we all have about the same level of love for PETA. That doesn't change the fact that horse racing has a terribly shady side to it.

I think most things involving mankind have a good side and a shady side to them, a tribute to the dichotomy which is mankind. Would I like to get rid of, or at least reduce, the shady side of things, including horse racing? Absolutely! Does that mean I want to eradicate everything that has a shady side? Nope...

Until animals start using currency, all things involving money involve mankind.

All people, from Gandhi to Manson, have both good and evil in them. The better the person, the more completely they are able to suppress the evil and act on the good.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE

Now we've had two Triple Crown winners in the last four years.  Justify just smoked everyone at the Belmont.   When Affirmed won it in 1978, I hadn't been born yet.   I never thought I'd see it until American Pharaoh won it in 2015.  Now I've seen it twice

I found out that Justify's owner paid $500,000 for him.  His stud rights were just sold to a horse breeding company for $75 million.  Now that's a helluva return on investment.

Comparing dog fighting to horse racing like comparing boxing to track.

I recently read/heard that American Pharaoh has earned about $40 million in stud fees here in the US, then was shipped overseas where it is expected he will earn a similar amount.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's getting that Egyptian horse pussy.
