Each year, between 10,000 and 15,000 discarded racers are trucked to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico and other places to be butchered because they can’t run anymore and bring in money.
Millions of people watch the Kentucky Derby each year, some wearing fancy designer hats, drinking mint juleps, laughing and socializing. We should also note, in the week leading up to the event, seven horses died.
Many racing horses also suffer from broken legs, torn flesh, and some killed at these races. This violent, heartbreaking abuse and murder is all hidden from the public eye. The beautiful victims in pain and terror, before, after, and at times during, often collapse and die. Just last month Laurel Park in Maryland temporarily suspended horse racing following the injury and death of two horses, one that had to be euthanized on the track. This racetrack averages 30 horse killings a year.documents over 2,000 horses die every year at U.S. tracks, about six per day.
Those that can no longer run and bring in a profit are sold like junk, in the back of the tracks, by the folks who supposedly care for them but abandon them instead. Annually, between 10,000 and 15,000 discarded racers in the United States are trucked to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico and other places to be brutally bled out and butchered because they can’t run anymore and bring in money.
