Is Horse Racing Cruel?




I live near a horse race track but feel guilty about going. Are the horses being hurt?

No, they aren't being hurt. They are getting hurt and then being killed. I'm never watching horse racing again.

I don't know where the previous person gets her info, but racehorses are NOT put down just because they get hurt. As with any injury, it depends on the type & severity of it. Any animal that gets hurt, even your pet dog or cat, can have to be put down because of the type of injury. Anyways, the racing sport in which more of the participants are put down when injured or retired is greyhound racing, not horse racing.
