TDN – T.D. Thornton – HISA Alleges Penn National Vet and 13 Trainers Involved in Joint Injection Conspiracy

Bloodhorse – Frank Angst – HISA Ties Seven Equine Deaths to Sweeping PA Conspiracy

Phil has a question:

What chance does thoroughbred racing stand when most of the fucking brain-dead trainers, owners and vets have long term vision blinkers on.

Is there a penalty stronger than life time suspensions.

Has anyone from PETA thanked these fucking moronic idiots for better outlining the target on the back of thoroughbred racing.

Can you use the whip on those fucking assholes.

Can you use the buzzer on those fucking assholes.

Where would you use the buzzer on those fucking assholes.

Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

That extra cash, while keeping the industry alive, has not led to a resurgence of popularity.

“Over the last ten years, racing days have declined a lot in Pennsylvania, the number of breeding horses born or the number of race horses born in the state declined, so the activity in the industry has declined substantially despite the huge subsidies,” Hooke said. “On the surface, it doesn’t look like it makes any sense.”

Beyond being a source for subsidies, the industry might not have much left in it.

“It is a sport that is dying,” Ward said. “It has been in a long decline. There is a desperate effort at this point to make it relevant that I don’t think will be successful.”

Ward’s report, written for Education Voters of Pennsylvania, found little merit in the subsidies and advocated the money should instead go to education. The connection to education is instructive: when compared on a per-capita basis, Pennsylvania prefers horses over students.

Phil has a question:

How much easier is it for the state of Pennsylvania to shift monies from thoroughbred racing to health or education or the steel industry or clean power or egg production when the thoroughbred industry looks like a bunch of cheating thieving jerks who cruelly treat their horses like disposable chattels not regal animals.

Can you use the whip on those fucking assholes.

Phil has a question:

How long before the bird watchers come after the horse racing subsidies.

In order to see birds, it is necessary to become part of the silence.
