this is ridiculous. They didn't even try to help Eight Belles. They euthanized Eight Belles on the track! They knew that it would never race again, but come on. This industry is disgusting and it's all about money. The owner's have no value of the horses' life.

PETA, if anything, should try to punish the owner. The jockey played no part.

There was a photo in our Sunday paper of her trying to stand & her front legs buckling.
Could break your heart

They did the best thing for her. It was merciful. A injured horse always tries to right itself & ends up doing more damage. If not then, after surgery or during the healing phase. Heres a link that might help you understand how hard it is to help a horse thats so seriously injured

I don't believe that this was the best thing. They could amputate the leg(s) and put a wheel on them. She could run by pushing hind legs. Better than death.
