Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a critical eye on the mistreatment of racehorses in society. The author argues that the horses are not truly owned by their keepers, but instead are treated as public property. The author claims that it is a common misconception that owners may do whatever they please with the horses, including running them until they drop. This belief that the public has some ownership over the animals leads to the horses being overworked, mistreated, and abused by the betting community. The author also discusses the working conditions of the people who care for the horses, shedding light on a lesser-known side of the industry. This thought -provoking book exposes the underbelly of horse racing and argues that betting harms the sport, the animals, and the people involved, making it a must -read for anyone who cares about the welfare of animals and the future of horse racing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
