I'm not a super-PETA zealot. But maybe it's time to just end horse racing.

It'd probably be over real quick of some activist were ever able to just sneak a camera into a track's "kill room" and record the entire season's kills, watching badly injured horses get killed by captive bolt or however they do it. It seems like in this country it takes video to for something to seem real.

Even absent drugs, they run these horses at the edge of their cardiac and skeletal capacity, and breed them for a brief period of speed rather than lifelong durability.
