Vela... you said that race horses are breed to race and they love to race.
How does anyone really know that?

All they know is that's what they've been forced to do since they were born, and if they don't run fast enough they'll end up as part of the 34% of american race horses that end up in slaughterhouse.

According to USDA figures, approximately 90,000 horses have been slaughtered in this country in 2006 as of mid-November. In addition, more than 19,000 horses have been exported to Canada for slaughter and another 8,500 to Mexico.

I understand that horses love to run, but to be forced to run till their bones snap..... that's not what they want to do. Freak accident or not, it happened.

I still can't stop thinking about these horses.
