It has come to our attention that racehorses are being routinely picked up at your racetrack and are being bought directly to SugarCreek Auction, a notorious meat-market equine auction house, where they are being sold to killbuyers who bring them directly to slaughter. Two of the most known and infamous "meat-men" at Mountaineer are Wilson Langley and Dick Rudibaugh who make regular weekley "back-door" pick-ups at the barn / stable area of your track. Mountaineer Racetrack and the racehorse slaughter issue were recently featured on an HBO special, here are links to the videos, Pt 1 & 2;

We the undersigned, implore you to do away with the "meat-men" at Mountaineer Track. Do not allow these unscruplous meat-men on your property and find some other way to have the owners dispose of their racing industry "cast-off" horses. There are plently of rescues that would love to take those "unwanted" horses from the owners to save them a terrible fate. You might also want to consider starting a retirement fund for xracehorses that are no longer useful for racing, anything but the slaughterhouse, please. Americans wont stand for it anymore. These horses have given their all to the cause of running for their owners pleasure and deserve a peaceful, easy retirement, not slaughter. Please keep the meat-men off your track find a way to help these horses into new homes or retirement. We, the horse lovers, protectors and advocates all across the Nation will help you.Just ask and help with come!

Please stop the auction of these beautiful animals to kill buyers. It's pathetic that these great animals who give their all to humans are rewarded in such a brutal way. I know there are plenty of horse-loving families in this country who would be thrilled to own one of these magnificent creatures (and would probably pay more than the kill buyer!). If one considers the observation that the worth and dignity of a civilization is judged by the way it the treats its weakest members, we cannot help but look back in shame at our past. ~Social Justice Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow, A Critical Reflection, By Rudolf Rickes

Horses are one of the most graceful and dignified animals that exist. They deserve nothing less than to be cared for and treated with respect. They are not food. Taking race horses from the track to slaughter is beyond shameful. Please help stop this disgusting practice.

I have adopted a very sweet and wonderful ex-race horse from a farm in Louisiana. He received a career ending injury. I am thankful that his owner adopted him out instead of disposing of him like day old trash.

We own a polo horse that was once owned and raced by Wilson Langley. She is one of the best playing ponies we own. Thank God he didn't take her to Sugar Creek. There are many uses for ex-racehorses other than meat!

Horses are NOT FOOD. It is the greedy and the despicable that make their living by killing - or being involved in the killing of - horses. We're not a society that needs this meat. Horses are long-lived delightful beings who do NOT deserve to end up on someone's dinner table. This practice of kill auctioning is offensive beyond words and makes me, personally, ill. If we can, as a society, to some degree, anyway, protect our dogs, we surely should protect our horses. I'm disgusted. And you Canadians and Mexicans and Italians - and for that matter, GORDON RAMSEY - who eat these horses? What, you can't eat beef? Shame on all of you. It will surely come back on all of you; horses are NOT FOOD. Again, HORSES ARE NOT FOOD!

This treatment of the horses at Mountaineer Race Track is horrifying to think about! These horses run as hard as they can for their owners only to be punished by this horrible fate. What kind of place are we living in where we inhumanely dispose of the animals who were a large part of forming this country. I cannot imagine that the formation and growth of this country would have even been possible had it not been for the horse. These horses deserve much better! They have done nothing wrong and have so many other things they have the ability to do. They can be used for many different riding disciplines, for companionship, to help people, not to mention touch many peoples lives! Some people seem to forget they're living things who can feel pain, not banged up racecars that can be sent to the junkyard!

As a lifelong horse owner I must say if you can't properly euthanize unwanted horses then you should not own horses.Slaughter does not equal humane euthanasia. To knowingly send a horse to the slaughter house is a irresponsible,inhumane, and generally slimy thing to do.

It is AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH that scientist all over the world every day make the experience that animals suffer like humans and more than we thought until now they are able to think. With ever more animal species we determine cognitive abilities. Culture must adapt to new cognitions otherwise it goes down. It is an infringement of the human rights to have to see cruelty to animals.

In the future people will think about our century like we think today about centuries of slave owners, deathsmen of witches and so on. At THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW it will be to late to make a difference and we - the human beings - have to shame us once again for our common history.
