Horse Racing

Horse Racing is an amazing sport, and everyone is used to watching fantastic racing like the Kentucky Derby, but most people don't know the truth about how cruel racing can be. For starters, most horses are trained to race at a very young age just as their bones and muscles are beginning to mature, so as the horses are put into rigorous training, their bodies are suffering the price of winning as they commonly strain their muscles and break their bones as a result of the racing. Horse racing owners also only care for their horses if they are in good condition, so if a race horse is injured as a result of the race and their practicing, they are later killed since they are no longer of use for the racing industry. Even though racing is an amazing sport, it's not worth the cruelty that the horses are put into and we should say no to racing if it will be at the expense of the animals.
