Bo knows racing?

[FGFan]

For the record....
I am definitely ANTI-PETA, and often HSUS, I detest the Animal RIGHTS Activists, I firmly and strongly believe in animal WELFARE of which there is a huge difference.

While I find this abit puzzling that Bo Derek has been appointed, it is California and Hollywood Celebs bring attention.
What I have found though is very little to call her an Animal RIGHTS activists. She is not associated with PETA, and from what I can find doesn't actually belong to any group per say.
What she is an activist about is Horse Slaughter a complicated issue, but I respect her stand on it.She is a horsewoman and owner, so it's not like she knows nothing about horses and racing. She is asked to attend HSUS events but that doesn't make her a member, many celebs attend and get attention to their issues. As did Nick Zito and Willie Nelson.

She also is an activist for ILLEGAL wildlife trafficking, and Big Cat havens. I can also understand this a bit especially on the Big Cat issue as often times these cats raised as pets and then are sold to can hunt safaris, I am not a proponent of most can hunts.

What I do find about Bo Derek is that she actually attends horse racing, Kentucky Derby, etc.
I have been doing alot of searches about her as she is painted as an animal rights activist which is normally nails on a blackboard to me, but so far I find little to say she would not be good for horseracing. I think I will take a wait and see stance on this one. This is not at all like Connie Whitfield serving on the KHRA and being the lead fund raiser for HSUS.
