What we are witnessing in Ceres is nothing more than an extension of ethical practices from Mexico, which we regard as cruelty to animals. Where I live, some of the horses that participate in the races are worked in the abandoned field across the street. The horses are raced over squirrel hole infested, cut out trails with little regard for protection, risking broken legs and joint injuries; but, it only begins here. Throughout the neighborhood, there is cox-fighting, dog fighting, drug dealing and Mexican rodeo, where mares and steers are chased and heeled (roping the back legs and tripping) providing hours of entertainment for a lot of Mexican nationals.
A lot of these horse races are run by Mexicans in California. A large portion are illegals living in this sanctuary state which helped the governor get elected with illegal votes. You won’t get any help from Moonbeam. What is being done is exactly what happens in Mexico which is well known for their cruelty to horses. The same for the so-called dancing horses that they love to show off in parades. In order to train these horses they are beaten into producing the constantly moving gait to appear to be dancing. A lot of these horses are destroyed mentally because they can’t stop the so-called dancing because they are afraid being beaten severally. One woman bought one of these horses and that is what she said, it constantly hopped from one foot to the other. I didn’t see anymore information about this horse.
I was the producer on that particular story. The link went away because it was still being edited. It was published as the story aired, right after our super bowl coverage. There was no pressure to remove it, simply typical web publishing changes to the copy.
