He is also the first racetrack owner to go out of his way to endorse a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to horse

Horse Slaughter is Inherently Cruel. The Conyers-Burton bill addresses the inherent cruelty in allowing the slaughter of our horses for human consumption. The inhumane transport over long distances combined with the horrifying methods of killing and difficulty of stunning equines prior to dismemberment is unacceptable to the American people and must be halted. The Need is Urgent. Texas and

July 24, 2008 Dear Humanitarian: For seven years now, you have helped us fight hard to protect America’s horses from the cruel and preventable practice of horse slaughter. Sadly, the few individuals profiting from this industry have spent vast sums of money to mislead some in the horse industry and US Congress. They have turned a serious animal cruelty issue into a political game.

They are shutting their gates, and their horses must go. One ranch is in Oregon, and I am unable to help. Another ranch is in the central valley of California, which is a 4 hour drive for our haulers.

Sorry my friend, slaughter will never be 'what is best for the horses'. Slaughter is only about what is best for the human, which is making a few bucks off of the torturous death of an equine. The fact remains that some 500,000 horses die each and every year, but only 100,000 are sent to slaughter (annually). Since 400,000 horses do not die of natural causes each year then the owners of these
