Comment on MADELEINE PICKENS: A PLAN FOR ALL HORSES by A. E. Loder

I am a horse breeder that has always bred with care and a purpose. I have seen the market soften somewhat however good horses always have a market so I know I will survive. What makes me sick and what makes me so furious at the people who think that slaughter is so terrible and have worked to end it is the hundreds of horses within a 15 mile radius of me that are starving to death RIGHT NOW. As I write this and it is 23 degrees outside I KNOW there are horses that have had nothing to eat, no shelter no hope of anything but a long, agonizing death. Their owners can’t or don’t feed them, can’t or won’t spend the $100 per head to have them humanely put to sleep and then the additional money to have them picked up so the horses are STARVING TO DEATH. At one time these horses would have gone to the sale barn that is about 15 miles from me and been sold, maybe to killers, but they would have had a relatively short amount of suffering. I’m sure that is makes everyone that comes out against slaughter feel very righteous and humane but the FACTS are that the slaughter ban has been a cruel, horrifying thing to happen to horses. It is another example of people with good intentions that haven’t a clue about what the real ramifications are to their actions. Please look at the big picture, we have to make the tough choices for the betterment of the creatures and the planet of which we are stewards.

Madeleine Pickens is a true Godsend for the horse industry. Thank you with all my heart. And shame on the racing industry and the vet. associations for not being against slaughter.

The racing and breeding industry is rotten to the core and terminal. Any sense of shame is gone. Miscreants come back and do business as usual, some hiding behind their sons or lawyers, some abusers receiving awards and honors.

It is time to create a new racing circuit for ethical sportsmen who choose to race horses without chemicals and breed those able to perform clean, where veterinarians remember and honor their oath and where quality, transparency, accountability, ethical treatment of horses and genuine performances are always the rules.

Words can never express my gratitude to Mrs. Pickens. She is bold enough to tell the truth about why legislative efforts fail time and again to protect our horses from the abomination of slaughter. And she has the heart and courage to act on her beliefs. May God protect her every moment of every day for hearing their cries and being their angel on Earth.

Well said Denise and G. Racing is without shame and moral compass. Owners and trainers are a perfect match and Biancone’s owners can no longer pretend ignorance about their trainer’s character. Biancone in CA? Now that’s interesting because it is one of the better policed states though it has still too many scumbags, bad races and a long way to go to be ethical and humane.

Will Farish can start leading and respond to Madeleine. We all know he has read this article. If Mr. Farish and his son are the unspoken new “leaders” of the industry, I could see them doing a excellent job, but it’s going to be tough and they must start communicating with substance. I have Faith. Ahh the days of Dinny, the public stayed in line and information trickled down.

Sorry, but your recent front page, amplified photo of Dutrow was uglier than the current “Venom” photo.

The rationale is that you can’t blame a snake for being venomous. That’s the way Mother Nature made him.

But humans have the prerogative and the responsibility of free will - and afterwards, if they heedlessly venture into the poisonous behavior of the reptiles, all is lost.

Is any human being reading this nauseating vomit and saying, “OH MY GOD!”??????

This is disgusting. Will Veitch be tossed any time soon from racing(retired or not)? Legal, illegal…please, you creeps and users and abusers of animals and jocks just keep singing and slinking from one poorly regulated track to the next. You all are below the quality of garbage. At least it can be composted.
