AFTER THE FINISH LINE: The Race to End Horse Slaughter in America By Bill Heller

A Kentucky Derby winner should not end up slaughtered. No horse should. A shocking expose detailing how over 60,000 horses are slaughtered annually in America; how a law before Congress would end it; and how hundreds of individuals are devoting their lives so our nation’s horses do not end up on a dinner plate in Europe or Asia. Chapter 11 features CANTER.

“This is a book that tells the terrible truth about what really takes place with these animals. I truly believe that this book will have an impact.” Nick Zito – Trainer, two time Kentucky Derby winner.
