Segments include:

*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 being shipped by “killer buyers” to slaughterhouses abroad, which

are frequently less regulated and less humane than former U.S. slaughterhouses.
