It's great, isn't it!? But I'm still fairly mad as I heard an owner/trainer on the radio today who said that "all those would-be greenies don't realise how much we care for our horses" but then the news announcer said that 3 horses died THIS week!
Another trainer has said he will shoot his 6 horses if the ban goes ahead. I don't think that qualifies as caring for his horses and I really hope doesn't follow through with it.
I'm going to find an email for Racing Vic and send one asap.
Here's a link to an open letter offering homes to horses so that trainers don't kill them if the ban goes through : http://www.horseracingkills.com/dont_kill_your_horses.php
