Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See those poor dead horses laying by a dried up pool? They are racehorses. This property is/was owned by a registered breeder named Catherine Smith. The story that follows makes me sick. I hate writing it. Wanna vomit. Do. This is a story of indifference and neglect at all levels of racing, welfare and animal […]
RSPCA QLD claims that it exists for animals to live better lives. Last year it was paid more than $60 million for the purpose.
