Palio of the historic florentine establishments: yet another scheme to exploit horses
06/05/2024 - Exploiting horses is all the rage, especially at a time when our government is pushing hard to fund and support horse breeding and racing in the criminally inclined sector of horse racing.

San Rossore, praise for the Guardia di Finanza
10/04/2024 - Our praise goes to the Guardia di Finanza of Pisa for uncovering serious episodes of harm to horses: for years we have been stating that horse racing is inherently a criminogenic activity, a potential driver of serious crimes ranging from animal abuse to various violations, as demonstrated in this case.

We welcome widespread control operations like the one conducted this morning.
