There is no reason to believe the feds cannot have a positive impact, especially as the states, the tracks and the hosermens' groups have proven they are unable or unwilling to address the medication abuse issues. There is also no reason to jump so far forward that people would believe that if there is some fed regulation, there would be no state oversight.
There s no good reason there cannot be federal legislation addressing medication and slaughter issues with the states responsible for other regulation and administration of all regs.
There are federal laws that apply to the insurance industry and yet states are responsible for regulation.
And not loving a sport or business has nothing to do with whether you can regulate it.
