From talk show buzz: Seems an alarming number of race horses hit the turf and have to be "brought down." Now, wonder some, is the sport in peril? I suppose PETA may ride to the rescue. I've always wondered why such a sport can get away without public condemnation, where, yes, the poor old circus where animals suffer, I'd venture, far less stress/abuse, took the brunt of ugly animal protests. Without the big top, they will be hungry for other venues to harass and take down. Welcome to the war, everybody else.
Commented one talk show voice, "You know how quickly things turned on the Ringling Bros. Circus" No, not quickly, sir. Public disapproval was growing over decades. All the while, rodeo and horse racing were just too damn popular to run off the lot.
Oh, yes, Jacko, overly affectionate with kids pimped to him by adult parents, may lead to Cirque's Michael Jackson Vegas unit falling out of favor, some are predicting. If this relentless theme continues, the entire entertainment industry may be run off the lot.
What goes around comes around.

There is a major difference, between the Rodeo/Racetrack and the Circus.
Rodeo clowns, unlike circus clowns, have no problem beating the shit out of any Animal Rights Activist that is being a pest.
In the case of Horse Racing, between the revenue they generate for the Government and other Families. Any serious campaign against Horse Racing will fizzle once the Families launch a counter campaign (making examples). I think that going to the track will continue to be a popular form of entertainment.
