Please see the following statement from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo regarding the death today of Burning Bright, the 12th<\/sup> horse to die at Saratoga Race Course during this season:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s sickening that NYRA announced a new safety protocol on the very day when yet another horse has died at Saratoga Race Course, bringing the fatality count to 42 on NYRA tracks so far this year. Now that the heat\u2019s on, NYRA\u2014which did little to protect the horses\u2014is trying to placate the public with a \u201csafety\u201d measure that won\u2019t even be in place until the last week of the Saratoga season, after the Travers Stakes weekend. PETA denounces the new protocol as public relations drivel and renews its call for Saratoga to suspend racing until NYRA puts a serious safety plan in place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

PETA\u2014whose motto reads, in part, that \u201canimals are not ours to use for entertainment or abuse in any other way\u201d\u2014opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
