. Harness racing has its own doping issues and PETA is in their yard too. They don't care how many bodies there are. That's not even the point. It's all a manipulation. They're just looking for an angle.

Folks, I don't get why we're not giving PETA hell over their body count. I believe in the last year there were 1600+ euthanized animals by PETA. Ask Feinstein and Newsom about that. Ask what they're planning to do. Keep up the heat on that. Where's the PETA expose? Nobody wanting to go undercover to show cute animals dead because of them? Hit PETA's pocket book by decreasing enthusiasm to donate, you attack their ability to attack racing. Find out if any of the people writing hit pieces have any animal rights groups connections and insist the publications admit the ethical bias. Hold feet to fire.

I'm not naive about what happens at racetracks everywhere. Everybody cheats, I get it but NJ tracks didn't have 42 dead racehorses +/- either. I am specifically talking about breakdowns and I don't want to get off topic. I believe MG broke down due to natural causes and this wasn't a doping issue. I would guess that most breakdowns are not dope related. I'm also not concerned about PETA and I never mentioned them. That is because if you start to find ways to make racing safer the PETA and the whoever-else problem will go away on it's own. Whats also not taken into account is the health of the jockeys. I would hate to think that any trainer would put a jock on a horse that he thinks may breakdown. That is life threatening serious ****. PETA will only mention the horse so F them.

As far as Monmouth vs Santa Anita, I’d be interested to know the number of horses that train/run at Monmouth vs SA as well as the number of racing days and any other relevant info. I don’t think total deaths will give you the full picture.
