So far my progress with bringing awareness to race horse abuse has been moving along. I have currently started a petition site called "Save abused racehorses of the US" on various petitioning sites. The one that had gotten the most significant response was my petition on the care2 site, which has almost 400 signatures. Once I have reached my goal to 1000, I plan on writing a letter to a representative of the horse racing industry to show how many people support this terrible disguised form of cruelty.
This is an article of Eight Belles, a mare that had to be put down during the Kentucky Derby on the spot due to devastating front ankle breaks from collapsing after her 2nd place win.
