By edattanasio on | From edattanasio.blogspot.com
When I saw Eight Belles put down Saturday at the Kentucky Derby after breaking both of his front ankles, I swore off horse racing then and there. I used to be a big fan of the sport, and believe me, I have given the track a lot of my cash over the years, but when I saw that incredibly beautiful animal being killed, it broke my heart. These scumbags will never get another penny from me, that's for certain. Two years ago, the world was shocked at the Preakness by the awful shattering of 2006...Read Full Story

By cheesemeister on | From animalanarchy.blogspot.com
Big Brown (L) and Eight Belles (R) Eight Belles, the second place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, had to be put down after she broke two ankles. I have to admit that I never much thought about how hard the horses are ridden during the races. Michael Rosenberg of Fox Sports has some thoughts on the matter that are worth reading. As someone who enjoys rodeo, it also makes me think about the animals involved in that sport. There are some who think that portions of the rodeo are cruel. I've...Read Full Story
