    Because they are forced to run fast in races, a lot of horses obtain brutal injuries on the track. But instead of putting them on stall rest, giving them the care that they deserve, many trainers, riders, and veterinarians give them drugs so they may keep racing, even though they are guaranteed a ticket to the slighter house afterwards (PETA).
