Saratoga Springs, N.Y. – Please see the next observation from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo in regards to the demise as of late of Burning Vibrant, the 12th horse to die at Saratoga Race Direction all through this season:
It’s sickening that NYRA introduced a brand new protection protocol at the very day when but every other horse has died at Saratoga Race Direction, bringing the fatality rely to 42 on NYRA tracks up to now this 12 months. Now that the warmth’s on, NYRA—which did little to give protection to the horses—is attempting to placate the general public with a “protection” measure that gained’t also be in position till the ultimate week of the Saratoga season, after the Travers Stakes weekend. PETA denounces the brand new protocol as public family members drivel and renews its name for Saratoga to droop racing till NYRA places a major protection plan in position.
PETA—whose motto reads, partially, that “animals don’t seem to be ours to make use of for leisure or abuse in every other manner”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more info, please talk over with PETA.org or practice the gang on Twitter, Fb, or Instagram.
