Jump To Comment: 1Please supply sources for the following claims you use as a means to rally support:
1- Two thirds of [15,000] whom are killed every year - simply because they aren't ''good enough'' to make it on to become racers.
2 - Those that do make it are forced to endure a life of pain, stress and misery - just because of peoples' addiction to gambling - and the apparent need most ''people'' have to take advantage of other, more vulnerable, species.
And please supply sources that have actually evidenced these claims, not links to similar unsubstantiated claims as is often done where no evidence exists.
Having grown up around the racing industry, and while there are many, many goings on in the industry to be genuinely concerned about, what you write appears little more than hyperbole and lies. I'll revise that position once evidence is put forward - the burden of proof is carried by you, the complainant.
If you wish for your campaign to have some success you would do well to inform yourself before seeking to recruit people in support of your campaign. What was written here will do little to garner the support of thinking people in general, let alone those who have some clue of the workings of the industry. And while I am very sympathetic to many animal rights activists and activities, including campaigns focused on the racing industry, I find myself deterred by ill-informed lobbying such as this.
