This group attempts
self-destruction every
other week.

When they make claims like this,
anything legitimate cause attached to them
is rendered suspect.

I'm surprised that PETA doesn't have a rapid response team available after major racing events to capitalize on the attention the media gives to breakdowns. After Bramlage gives his interview, a PETA representative can give their version of events.

their statement is full of contradictions;

first they say that Eight Belles was "doubtlessly injured before the finish"

then they say well even if the jockey didn't feel anything in advance, then the blame is because they are allowed to whip the horses mercilessly.

these people aren't required to make an sense when they issue a statement.

Nut cases. They should be euthanized.

There. They get some attention.

Why not suspend the Vet, trainer, owner and all the people who bet on her?

So PETA wants to burn someone and anyone for what happened. If it wasn't the jockey for pushing an injured filly then it's the abuse of the whip. I guess the jockey is in a no-win situation. If he doesn't use the whip and gets nipped for second does he gets fined or investigated for not finishing out the race? If they really had any idea about horse racing and truely cared about these animals they would look into the drug use involved on the horses instead of searching for publicity.

Yeah, if they really wanted to do something then pushing for an autopsy that determines what sort of medications the horse was given would be a lot more effective than condemning the jockey and the use of a whip.

If they have the money then let's not stop there. Check every horse including the winner.

rick porter said just after that there would be a necropsy, and then the filly was to be cremated.

HaloWishingwell · #15 05-05-2008, 12:08 PM

Contrary to their own so called beliefs they will almost wish something bad to happen while again having a big stage. They might as well load up their cameras and ride in the ambulance during the race.

You should have made one thread for the Preakness and one for the Belmont.

Maybe a thread for the Peter Pan where PETA accuses the race of being originated by the founders of NAMBLA.

These threads would lead to one DT'er writing scripts for them that are eventually picked up by the WhoGivesARatsArse channel which is a subsidiary of Hallmark.

But you didn't. So much for that.

fpsoxfan · #17 05-05-2008, 12:37 PM

I hope PETA doesn't find out about the delicious ribs I had saturday.

AeWingnut · #18 05-05-2008, 01:13 PM

Peta is like that group that goes around protesting soldiers' funerals.

disgusting
