Review for Horseracing Wrongs Inc, Albany, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Fact: 2,000 plus horses die on the track in the United States every year. Upwards of 15 to 30,000 are sent to slaughterhouses annually, from the race track! I want to recommend Horseracing Wrongs Inc because of how they have exposed the hidden horrors of the horse racing industry to me and to other This is an organization based on compassion - and outrage - for the suffering of horses in the US racing industry. Many members of this organization have owned or rescued former race horses. They know what they are talking about. They exposed to me the carefully hidden truths, the heartbreaking suffering and the outright deciept. The way horses are anything but loved, are killed and replaced, killed and replaced, all for the Almighty Dollar, by their owners. The lies by the race horse owners and trainers. The daily, yes, daily, abuse. The deaths of 2 and 3 year old horses on an almost daily basis, in addition to horses in their early years. Without this organization I would have never known, nor would others, about the details of the suffering of these innocent and sensitive animals. It just so happens that I grew up within walking distance of the training track of the Belmont racetrack. I didn't know that many died on the track every year and others were cruelly sent to the hell of a Mexican slaughterhouse. Photographs, statistics and proven evidence are the hallmarks of this organization. The owners and trainers know that only the painstakingly accurate evidence based facts are published.
This is the only non-profit organization in the United States exclusively founded to show, without question, the necessity to completely ban a barbaric, loveless and abusive industry. It is not a sport. Reforms do not save lives. It is animal abuse, I now know.
I hope that one day Horseracing Wrongs Inc. succeeds and that they get a major animal rights award. They sure deserve it

Review for Lady Freethinker, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

How can I give a site anything but 5 stars when they constantly report on animal abuse? And suggest ways in which one can respond in support of that animal? I am an animal activist and appreciate this site very much.
