You've joined our team by signing our petitions to take action to address the animal cruelty and death in horseracing.
The horses need your urgent help NOW to help advance massive change in Pennsylvania that could close many tracks and save lives!
Pennsylvania’s horseracing industry receives almost $250 million in corporate welfare every year – over $3 billion since the subsidies began in 2005.
A hand-out, at the expense of school children, to a failing (and abusive) industry with zero public benefit!
To help put this in proper perspective, the per horse subsidy is nearly three times the per student subsidy.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Editorial Board has thrice condemned the subsidies keeping horseracing afloat, and most recently called for racing “to be put out of its misery" following a front page article "Death at the Track." (This was made possible by the work of Horseracing Wrongs!)
Governor Wolf has proposed redirecting some 200 million of those annual subsidy dollars to fund college scholarships for 44,000 students.
But it's not enough! We need YOU to tell the Pennsylvania State Government to stop the subsidies!
The time to act is now!
PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE! Help STOP the corporate welfare to this cruel industry in PA and help the children AND the horses! Thank you!
