John Scheib testified at the Public Hearing on the Welfare of Racehorses in New York State before the Senate Standing Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering and the Senate Standing Committee on Domestic Animal Welfare on Wednesday, June 5, 2019.
Mr. Scheib maintains that the welfare of racehorses will always fail because racing is about money. No one gets into racing because this is the best thing do for his horse - it’s all about the money.
Mr. Scheib questions why the NYS Attorney General does not enforce existing laws regarding tampering with a racehorse to affect its performance. It is a felony to illegally drug a racehorse and that rampant violation of the law should be prosecuted.
Mr Scheib is director of Responsible Animal Care (https://www.facebook.com/RACUSALLC/).
