They are all the same. They all have 2 things in common:
A. They are all racing horses.
B. They are all dead.
Every single one of them dead as a direct result of racing. Some are flat track racers, some are jumps racers, some are sprinters, some are harness racers. All the same. All dead well under their prime. Many under age ten, most under age 5.
What's worse is these are just the ones that are confirmed dead, this does not take into account or list those that had pulmonary bleeding, were injured and vanned off, or those that had some kind of distress or fell and were vanned off while still alive. Many of them were most likely later killed as a result of their injuries but their status is unknown. This also doesn't account for all of the ones that 'weren't fast enough' or were 'excess of the industry' and ended up in the slaughterhouse.
The names of those killed so far just in the 2014 year as of today, May 24th, 2014:

192 race horses, confirmed dead, since the start of 2014.
Horse racing is NOT safe, it's NOT sane. It's cruel and it kills horses. These animals are literally raced to death, all for the almighty dollar. They are treated like objects, not as living, breathing creatures. They are merely commodities. The atrocities need to stop! Racing needs to stop! There is NO way to do it safely, humanely, or in any way where the HORSES benefit. The facts are there. Look them up. Horse racing kills horses and line their owners' pockets. Don't support the cruelty.
