Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 14, 2021 Journalists Posted October 14, 2021 The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) has issued a warning to licensees regarding recent reports of inhumane, dangerous, and sometimes lethal practices used in transporting horses internationally, via cargo ship, from the United States. “Overcrowding horses in makeshift containers has reportedly led to numerous deaths and injuries,” a release from the KHRC read. “These cargo shipping practices are alarming, abusive, and will not be tolerated in Kentucky. “The KHRC will take immediate licensure action against any licensee who knowingly or willfully directs or participates in activities that abuse, neglect, or harm horses. The Commission also urges Kentucky's racing associations and training facilities to take immediate steps to ensure that horses are protected from these practices.” The post Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Issues Shipping Warning appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
