Not a fan of Peta, but the footage makes me sick. The treatment of the horses is sickening and the disdain for thier well being is too

I surely agree with Nancy, how can such a thing happen in the US? these things will give the horse racing a very bad name!!

PETA nows hires common whores to do under cover work....she slept with blasi and like a typical dog in heat he fell for it..how utterly stupid is he...he proved he has a foul mouth but that's not a crime....the only crime I see is illeagal workers ...that's a felony isn't it ? false s.s. cards and the like ?........but the part about nehro...the owner of that horse is full of poop claiming he didn't know :roll: ...he paid the bills. getting back to the woman who went under cover(s)....9 min. of video out of 7 hrs. what were the other 6 hrs and 51 min. of ?...

Editing, a LOT of it, this is what these people do, not that what they have doesn't look bad but I bet it was edited to make it look much worse.

If you think the PETA edit job only proves that Blasi has a foul mouth you need to watch it again and listen a little more carefully. I do not condone the methods used by PETA or how they edit the results, but I am positive they would not have been made if he knew they were being taped.

I am often accused of being overly tolerant - I believe quite deeply that there are generally two sides to every story. May all of you out there who have NEVER said a single thing that was regretted after it fell out of your mouth move to the head of the line under the sign that says "I am Perfect". I also believe that old saw that money corrupts to its own level, so that a lot of money corrupts a lot. In fact the PROXIMITY of massive money can corrupt massively in the egregious, rapacious jealousy that it creates. It is possible that these fellows were coarsened and made into brutes by pure, unutterable greed.

I think, though, that Blasi and Asmussen are two peas in a pod, considering that in my 42 years of work experience I have only seen management attract and then keep its own kind. Blaming Blasi and firing him is like throwing a wounded sailor off a sinking ship. The sharks will eat now, but they will still eat later.

Agree Madelyn. Does the same apply for Sheik Mo?

I don't know Sheikh Mo personally, nor any kind of situation he is in at the moment that is related to this. Explain?

When his operation was found to be drug riddled, he threw the trainer under the bus. A parallel?

only Q to me re PETA is what took 'em so long. My expectation has always been that they'd be demonstrating at the gates. Instead, undercover. One can look at Asmussen's drug board and see the drug abuse + when is RMTC going to do something about the dangerous thyroid meds, and when is a vet going to lose a license for prescribing thyroxen for non-thyroid patients?
I am a PETA member and looking forward to the day when animal rights groups are invited into our sport. We have, after all, the same goals of animal welfare. Should be a no-brainer imo.
