Drugging Horses

[Deleted]

If a person wants to take the chance, fine. This is BS. Finally found a reason for PETA:

Do you think it is better or worse than years ago?

I'd say it's less now that they're so closely monitored, more randomized drug testing...however, there's more new drugs hitting the market and we're talking a billion dollar industry...so i wouldn't put it past any of them to try something that's banned...again, money trumps morals.

It's just like NFL drug testing. Most tests available today can't detect every single substance that could be performance enhancing and there are always ways to get around positive test results. There have been major drugging scandals in horse racing, so the industry as a whole is trying to clean up its image these days with better and more consistent testing. But there will always be some going on.

Yeah, horse doping has been in the game for a long time. It doesn't make it right, but it definitely isn't breaking news.

And no, there is never a need for PETA. I love animals, and I support the SPCA and other organizations like that, but PETA funds ELF, which is basically a terrorist organization. They also believe that all animals should be free, which means no pets, no zoos, no farms, no hunting, etc.

PETA is insane.
