The Horse and Greyhound Racing Act. This is a crazy situation of cruelty and the frightening intimidation of people. When animal rescuers are trying to do voluntary work they are not being supported. The Department will not stand up to these gangs. Imagine insisting that a sick horse should be returned to the people who abused it.
