God damn Hispanics and their "dominion over animals" take another
victim. Recall the bastards who taunted the tiger into attacking them
a few months ago. At least one of the cocksucking little bastards got
mauled to death before the tiger was shot dead by the cops. If
you've ever lived among these people where they are in control, like
in northern New Mexico, you understand what merciless bastards they
can be. Latin blood truly is sadistic and cruel.
On top of this is the feeding frenzy for profit that goes on
among animal breeders. Wasn't it just last year that Barbaro was
euthanized after breaking its leg in one of the races for the Triple
Crown? Yes, the horses are born and raised to race. Are they born
and raised to be killed over a fucking horse race? Let's hear it,
Repuglicans. Tell us how good it all is.
PETA wants Eight Belles jockey suspended after filly's death

Second-Place Derby Finisher =91Eight Belles=92 Euthanized After On-Track
Break Down
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is
seeking the suspension of Eight Belles' jockey after the filly had to
be euthanized following her second-place finish in the Kentucky Derby
on Saturday.
Gabriel Saez was riding Eight Belles when she broke both front ankles
while galloping out a quarter of a mile past the wire. She was
euthanized on the track.
PETA faxed a letter Sunday to Kentucky's racing authority claiming the
filly was "doubtlessly injured before the finish" and asked that Saez
be suspended while Eight Belles' death is investigated.
"What we really want to know, did he feel anything along the way?"
PETA spokeswoman Kathy Guillermo said. "If he didn't then we can
probably blame the fact that they're allowed to whip the horses
mercilessly."
Eight Belles trainer Larry Jones said the filly was clearly happy when
she crossed the finish line.
"I don't know how in the heck they can even come close to saying
that," Jones told The Associated Press on Sunday. "She has her ears
up, clearly galloping out."
Guillermo said if Saez is found at fault, the group wants the second-
place prize of $400,000 won by Eight Belles to be revoked.
Saez, a 20-year-old Panama native, was riding in his first Kentucky
Derby. He frequently rides for Jones.
A call to the jockeys' room at Delaware Park, where Saez raced on
Sunday, went unanswered.
Eight Belles, the first filly since 1999 to run in the Derby, appeared
fine until collapsing while galloping out after the finish.
The letter to the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority also sought a ban on
whipping, limits on races and the age of racehorses, and a move to
softer, artificial surfaces for all courses.
