Hidden Horses Few casual horse racing fans are aware that many former racing horses are slaughtered for profit. When a thoroughbred race horse reaches the end of its career or is simply no longer profitable on the track, it is often taken directly to auction and sold for meat. Because horse slaughter is no longer practiced in this country, these thoroughbreds are now buyers" to slaughterhouses abroad, which are frequently less regulated and less humane than former U.S. slaughterhouses. Correspondent Bernard Goldberg, who recently won the 2008 Sports Emmy(r) for Outstanding Sports Journalism for his 2007 REAL SPORTS story on the NFL concussion crisis, traces the disturbing journey many of these young and healthy horses take from the track, to auctions, to slaughterhouses, and finally to the plates of European and Japanese diners who pay top dollar for the delicacy.

| Romulus is a Belgian Draft named after the Greek Mythological son of the God Mars (credited to be the founder of Rome ) and he has found himself in an unfortunate circumstance. His hind hooves are literally being eaten out from under him by an aggressive bacterial growth/infection. He is suffering from a condition known as canker. Canker is a severe bacterial infection that is very aggressive and extremely difficult to treat if not diagnosed as soon as the first symptoms appear. Romulus is owned by Freedom Hill Horse Rescue and this is his story (click to read) CLICK HERE FOR UPDATE Jan 2010 |
