Like I said, both horse and dog racing have many unanswered for crimes. It's a natural result of animals becoming basically sporting equipment to be abused for cash and discarded when no longer useful. I don't blame you for feeling jaded really I feel the same. Hell, it's not even just animals. How many high school athletes cripple themselves trying to be good enough to make a college team. And there is the same horrible abuse of cortisteriods shot into their immature joints. IMO sports just suck.
