Obviously, I don't support banning racing, but I do fully support every effort to make life better for the horses...sometimes, being goofy and outrageous is the only way to get a message across..we were ridiculed in the Civil Rights movement too! PETA has more than it's share of "nut jobs", but the work they do is necessary and usually...thankless! PETA isn't the problem, human greed and lack of compassion is! If everyone treated their animals like the connections of Barbaro do, there would be no need for PETA. The vast majority of folks in racing are good, caring, compassionate folks...but we all need to be reminded that there are still far too many of the other kind!

My apologies, Somer! But why can't Larry King put members like you on-air?
