>>> You have to love the "skaters a la "crack the whip," " part of the show, what are these people thinking? http://newsroom.msu.edu/site/indexer/1486/content.htm
It's nuts. My first impression is to say shame on Dr. Clayton, I guess the veterinary researchers have to get used to compartmentalizing their values. A lot of equine veterinary research money comes from the racing industry, but the whole sport of horseracing makes me see red. But, darn it, that's no reason for us owners to support this stupid Ice Tolt, any more than we have to support some of the other questionable practices in the equine world. As much as I dislike racing, at least with the TB industry we can cite some "greater goods" that have come from the research moneys raised from racing - what possible "greater good" comes from an Ice Tolt? I can't think of a single thing. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
