Edited Animal Wellness Action Release — “We are deeply disappointed and dismayed by this court that has clearly targeted the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act and our efforts to end doping in the sport,” said Animal Wellness Executive Director Marty Irby in a statement.
” It’s a shame to allow those who would like to perpetuate horse abuse to continue to thrive despite Congress enacting the HISA in 2020 and again repairing it in December of 2022. If horse racing is to survive in the U.S. then those who seek to derail HISA must not prevail, and doping must end. Otherwise, the Sport of Kings could soon cease to exist.”
