PETA wants to study Derby horse death
Human beings for the ethical treatment of animals, invites the floor of Louisville to discuss the death of eight Belles, the horse Kentucky Derby, was euthanized Saturday after crossing the finish line behind winner Big Brown.
In a letter Monday to the office of Commonwealth’s Attorney, David R. Stengel, 30 District Court, president Ingrid Newkirk of PETA, asked Rod to study the circumstances under which it after the death of the foal. Eight Belles crossed the finish line a few seconds later and collapsed after the failure of both ankles before, as it slows. The Churchill Downs, said the veterinarian, it could not be saved.
“In particular, it is determined that the coach, owner, a veterinarian or another knew that it was a chance that this colt legs, not resistant to load and / or there are indices that already exist in a state of hair as fractures, then we feel charges of cruelty to animals must be protected against those responsible … “Newkirk wrote.
She also asked to see tapes rods 1 miles of the race and Jockey Gabriel Saez. She said it was “always Eight Belles whipped cream in the final shortly before its range of split legs, immediately after the conclusion of the race.”
Newkirk said that during Kentucky cruelty to animals laws sport exceptions for horse racing, these exceptions only in regard to the killing of animals, “not hitting, torture or other cruel behaviour … ”
Rod could not be reached for comment Monday.
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association did not return phone calls for this contribution.
Spokesman Daniel Hauff PETA said that, if a flap of 1000 pounds sterling to mount a horse culture, can not detract as much as it is a man, whipped cream by horses jockeys run faster, as they should.
“If [horses] really want to run, [quickly and widely that] you would not do to beat,” said Hauff.
PETA’s requirement of a criminal investigation follows a previous letter from PETA Kentucky Racing Authority this weekend to suspend Eight Belles “Jockey pending an investigation into the death of a horse.
PETA is also the requirement that the Kentucky ban on training and racing horses under the age of 3 years, prohibition of the use of RIDING-CROPS horse race and the State responsible for the use of plastic soft in Kentucky’s racing circuits instead of dirt.
After Sunday’s race, Churchill Downs’ call on veterinarian Larry Bramlage said collapse of both ankles after a race was very rare and it has never had an accident like it.
