New Cumberland, W. Va. – Please see the next assertion from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo relating to in the present day’s revelation that there are sometimes no veterinarians current at Mountaineer Racetrack in West Virginia whereas horses are being skilled:

PETA uncovered Mountaineer Racetrack for dumping useless horses at an area landfill in 2019, and it seems that the monitor continues to be treating horses like trash. The West Virginia Racing Fee ought to instantly droop all racing there till further veterinarians are employed. There ought to be no coaching and not using a veterinarian current, or horses who are suffering catastrophic breakdowns may undergo for hours earlier than being euthanized. If Mountaineer gained’t defend horses, the state should.

PETA—whose motto reads, partly, that “animals aren’t ours to make use of for leisure or abuse in every other method”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For extra data, please go to PETA.org or comply with the group on Twitter, Fb, or Instagram.
