Patrick Battuello, the founder of Horseracing Wrongs

Patrick Battuello testified at the Public Hearing on the Welfare of Racehorses in New York State before the Senate Standing Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering and the Senate Standing Committee on Domestic Animal Welfare on Wednesday, June 5, 2019. Mr. Battuello is the Founder and President of the non-profit organization, Horseracing Wrongs (https://horseracingwrongs.org/), and asserts that horse racing is immoral and must end. He stated that horse racing is an archaic non-viable gambling industry that exploits, abuses, and kills horses. An average of 137 horses die every year on NYS racetracks; 2000 horses, nationally. This does not include racehorses that die away from the racetracks and the estimated 15,000 to 20,000 shipped to slaughter in Mexico and Canada each year when no longer making money or wanted by their owners.

WAMC’s Alan Chartock In Conversation with Patrick Battuello, Founder, Horseracing Wrongs

On Sunday, June 23rd the winter racing season at Santa Anita racetrack in Southern California finally came to a close. And on Saturday June 22nd the 30th horse died in racing or training at Santa Anita this year. That’s a lot of horse deaths. But there are a lot of horse deaths every year. In 2018, 493 thoroughbreds died in racing or training. And so, there’s been a lot of talk about reforming horse racing. But the reforms that have been put in place aren’t really working: horses are still dying every week. Patrick Battuello has been reporting on animal rights issues since he launched the Animal Rights blog for the Times Union (Albany, NY) in 2009. In 2013, he founded the organization, Horse Racing Wrongs. They aren’t interested in reforms. Instead, they are dedicated to a a complete abolition of horse racing, period. And with all these deaths, I can’t see how more people aren’t going to get behind them.

Patrick Battuello: American Horses are Racing to their Deaths

Nicole Arciello

In this episode, Kathy, Patrick &amp; Nicole discuss:   The staggering number of horses killed racing or training annually Racing as it's portrayed by the media vs. the realities of horseracing The fate of "spent" racehorses How to end horseracing in the U.S.   Key Takeaways:   Roughly 15,000 thoroughbreds are sent to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada annually from the US. Horses are kept in unrelenting confinement and isolation for up to 23 hours a day. Horses are not fully mature until around age six; racehorses typically start an intense training regimen around 18 months old. The industry's dirty little secret: approximately 2,000 racehorses die annually during training or racing.    "Instead of paying $200-$300 to euthanize the horse, they profit one last time on that horse by sending him to an auction, where he is usually snatched up by a kill buyer." – Patrick Battuello    Connect with Patrick and Nicole:   Twitter: twitter.com/racingwrongs Facebook: facebook.com/HorseracingWrongs Website: www.horseracingwrongs.com     Connect with Kathy Stevens:  Facebook: facebook.com/kathy.stevens.CAS, facebook.com/catskillanimalsanctuary  Twitter: twitter.com/CASanctuary/  Books: https://store.casanctuary.org/collections/books/products/where-the-blind-horse-sings  Website: Catskill Animal Sanctuary  Instagram: instagram.com/catskill_animal_sanctuary/  YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/CASanctuary        Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
