Suggestion for Mike Petrelli

[darnoldrocks]

Mike isn't big on suggestions or opinions, so I'm confident this will go over like a lead balloon, but anyway!!

If advocacy for the humane treatment of Standardbred horses is Mike's passion and purpose, his energy and investigative skill should be directed toward an intervention that will have the greatest positive outcome.
Directing energy toward one trainer or one owner or one racing administration, will only result in change relative to the size of that players barn or that administrators reach.   A very finite number of horses are safer or humanely handles.

Why not go after an intervention that would result in 10's of 1000's of horses being disposed of in the most humane way possible after their racing value has finished.  Today a majority of them end  up in inhumane service industries or worse still, horrific end of life kill pens.

Mike, go after a big piece of legislation that would require all Standardbred Horses to meet their end of life, either by natural causes on a retirement farm, (impossible to handle the numbers) or by humane, vet administered euthanasia.   Whoever is on record, owning that animal at the time, is responsible for the cost.

All comments welcome.

You're suggesting Mike work in pro-equine as a LOBBYIST.

A lot of wasted chatter otherwise from a Chihuahua Cock. 

Mike gives him the number, dude says he owns horses, has a shit ton of criticism, advice...not a peep to come on live.   

A neutered Chihuahua Cock!

Where have you been? Maybe go scroll through the years of work on my Facebook group. One trainer or individual? Dude... And btw, why just me???

Sorry, I have not followed your facebook group over the years, but I think my point would stand that going after individuals one or more at a time, even over years, has a positive outcome for a limited number of horses.   Euthanasia legislation would become the responsibility of every standardbred horse owner, affecting 10's of 1000's of equine athletes and it would be enforceable.

Why you? 
It is clearly your passion. 
You know the business and the players.
You are already dedicating many hours to equine advocacy.
Why not you!!

You bleed envy of Mike out of every pore, we get it, and really understand your fear of stepping up to the plate from your mouse hole and introducing yourself   

Furthermore don't be angry because....

Your fortune cookie said...

"Hey asshole, harness racing is a fucked up mess with no future!"

Darnoldrocks means well. Just doesn't realize how much I've covered over the past few years. Two months ago a gentleman personally presented NYS Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner my bio and statement regarding horse racing in NYS and all the ugly truth to go.with it. Again, it's all on my Facebook group well documented. This is what Carrie leads...

[darnoldrocks]

Mike, that's fantastic that you already have the connection.
Did any discussions or statements on horse retirement, include the reality that retirement farms is probably unrealistic based on the sheer numbers, and that humane euthanasia is far more palatable than inhumane kill pens/slaughter?

Unrealistic 

Harness Racing is full of and run by scum, that should all drop dead if they're not for these horses living out their retirement lifespan with the best possible accommodations and benefits! 

I can only think of one being on this planet that deserves euthanasia, a real living garbage person ...Chihuahua Cock

Mike, I've often wondered how certain people get these committees. Does this Assemblywoman have any experience with the horse racing industry? What qualifies her to make or suggest policy initiatives? At least Florida's Rep. was from a horse racing family. It didn't help anyway. But at least he had some knowledge of the sport.

Dougie, were you too busy spinning a dreidel for cash when they taught...

Googling 

The answer is universal pretty much in any state and at the federal level.

"In the New York State Assembly, committee assignments are primarily determined by the Speaker of the Assembly."

Maybe they take into consideration experience...

I think that when it comes to horse racing, these people should have a iota of what a horse looks like. LOL! Otherwise, they are "empty suits" who can't address a problem they don't understand.

What's the difference Dougie, they have expereince to run a better scam.

They have no integrity they're no good.

Look at the state of things.

Horses are getting drugged, they're cheating and the wrong doers are getting every fucking handout imaginable.

Many Someones are getting a fat envelope.

Retirement horses, they're savages these bastards.

They are destroying them on the track they are going sacrifice purse money so they have a life off track.

Talking is done, you have to become more evil to get things done until people wake up, educate and elect sober, intelligent people with stamina and inspiration.

I agree. I have to tell you that Mike P. kind of opened my eyes. I know it's been over 30 years, but I was told all four of my horses went to the Amish. Now I ask myself, did they really go there? Or did something else happen? I'll never know for sure what happened to those horses. Geez.....
