Berkeley, Calif. – Please see the next remark from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo in regards to the announcement by way of Belinda Stronach that Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley, California, will shut on the finish of this yr and be consolidated with Santa Anita:
Belinda Stronach and 1/ST have made a wise trade determination that may receive advantages horses. Larger oversight, more potent laws, and PETA’s call for that injured horses by no means be put in peril have supposed fewer races and race days, smaller fields, and—most significantly—fewer fatalities. Consolidating Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields makes excellent sense. Horse deaths can’t be a part of a legitimate marketing strategy.
PETA—whose motto reads, partially, that “animals aren’t ours to make use of for leisure or abuse in every other approach”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more info, please consult with PETA.org or practice the crowd on Twitter, Fb, or Instagram.
