PETA requests that Eight Belles jockey Gabriel Saez be suspended

Do we have any Kentucky derby fans out there? Well if not we probably do have a few animal rights activists so this blog is for all of you.On Saturday in Norfolk, Va. A horse named Eight Belles was euthanized following her race because she had broken her two front legs she had gotten second place. Gabriel Saez was the jockey riding her when it happened. no one is sure on why or how both of her front legs got broken but the organization of PETA wants Gabriel Saez to be investigated as well as the death of eight Belles. If Gabriel Saez is found guilty then he well loose the 400,000 dollar prize for winning second place. PETA just wants to know if Gabriel Saez felt anything while he was riding the young filly.

I hope that Gabriel Saez and the rest of the jockeys learn from now on to treat their horses a little more fairly.
