Letters Letter From Mindy About Horseracing Re:
Letter from
Denice Re Horseracing Dear Denice, I have read your article about the horse racing and believe me I
will never go to a race again. I have never actually gone to one race, but
after seeing what happen to these poor horses I don't know why anyone would
ever step foot in one of those places! I learned so much about horse racing
and what all happens to these beautiful innocent creatures and I just wanted
to say thank you for having the courage to do something I would never have
the courage to do. To find all this information, then to give a speech on
this to 1.000's of people, and then to post this wonderfully written article
on the web was a brilliant idea. I loved it and I hope that everyone else
out there who doesn't know all there is to know about racing will read this.
It was wonderful and I only wish there was more I could do. I'm only 15
years old, but when I am older I would LOVE to help out these wonderful
animals and just to save them from a life of fear and not knowing where they
are going to go next. I admire you so much for doing such a great thing for
these animals and I only wish they knew what you are doing for them. I know
they would love and appreciate it greatly. I just want to say thank you
again. I never would have known all that I do now. You inspired me so
greatly that I wrote a little speech of my own and told it in front on my
class. It may have only been a class of 32 but I know I touch a few peoples
hearts and I hope you know that you touched my heart and I'm sure are
touching the heart of any animal lover!! GREAT JOB Sincerely, Mindy Dear Mindy, Thank you so much for your beautiful letter to Denice, about the talk she
gave to help racehorses. I am so thrilled that our work inspired you to give
your own talk to your class! You have expressed yourself so eloquently here,
I think your class must have been knocked out of their seats! Racehorses, possibly more than other abused animals, have a tough way to
go because little is written about their lives outside the track, and people
don't think much about where they come from - and where they go after their
racing days are over. My deepest thanks for 'telling their story' to your
class - "Never doubt that a small group of concerned, thoughtful and
dedicated people can make a difference - indeed, it's the only thing that
ever has" - Anthropologist Margaret Mead. Have a blessed New Year, Kiley B ANIMAL DEFENDERS OF WESTCHESTER Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
