Stopping the Slaughter
The National Horse Protection Coalition and six other organizations are working to educate fans this weekend about horse slaughter. “Trainer Nick Zito, National Horse Coalition spokesman, told an assembled group at Lone Star the afternoon before Breeders’ Cup World Championship day, ‘Horse slaughter is just wrong … It is an owner’s responsibility to take care of the horse after his career has ended.'” (Blood-Horse)
