Animal abuse is quite a poor solution to extinction. It's like a kidnapper saying to his victim "thank me for giving you food and drink and sex, it's better than being dead"... Abuse stays an abuse.

It's the horse racing industry, that actually looks after and cares for them.

They get stables to live in, they're fed and groomed. And they earn their keep by racing. Just like people who go out to work, earn their keep. Sometimes it might be dangerous, but so are lots of peoples jobs.

Wanting to get rid of horse racing, isn't about the well being of the horses, it's just about a persons own personal feelings, and wanting to look like a good person.

What's the percentage of owners/trainers in the industry who abuse them, compared to the owners/trainers who care for them?
