The Amish

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

You can crucify me. I don't give a fuck. The Amish can rot in HELL. They hide behind religion when it comes to treatment of animals.

True, but who sends them horses by the thousands each year???

I understand what you are saying but the Amish made it too easy if you needed to rid yourself of racehorses. They bought retired horses as a money grab. For example, years ago when I was stabled at Liberty Bell, they would come in and buy truck loads of horses that weren't paying their way. They would feed the bullshit that they would be road horses but 20 miles later they would be unloaded at the Alpo plant off the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike. Yes, laws have changed and that isn't happening now (hopefully) but that was reality back then.

That was 40 years ago Mike. They're still going to the Amish, now they send them to Mexico and Canada for slaughter.

Do you remember Preston Burris Jr's good trotter, Bayview's Billy Bob, he came from the Amish.
