So PETA wants to burn someone and anyone for what happened. If it wasn't the jockey for pushing an injured filly then it's the abuse of the whip. I guess the jockey is in a no-win situation. If he doesn't use the whip and gets nipped for second does he gets fined or investigated for not finishing out the race? If they really had any idea about horse racing and truely cared about these animals they would look into the drug use involved on the horses instead of searching for publicity.

Yeah, if they really wanted to do something then pushing for an autopsy that determines what sort of medications the horse was given would be a lot more effective than condemning the jockey and the use of a whip.

If they have the money then let's not stop there. Check every horse including the winner.

They might have enough influence to get an autopsy on Eight Belles done but no way they have the clout to get everyone tested.

Funny thing is they might actually find something testing everyone and then be able to make some kind of point.

rick porter said just after that there would be a necropsy, and then the filly was to be cremated.
