Avoiding a Triple Frown: The Need for a National Horse Racing Commission Anthony Russolello Animal Legal & Historical Center

This paper highlights the problems of the horse racing industry in an effort to advocate why a national horse racing commission is needed. As currently positioned, the industry has failed to address these problems causing not only a decline in the sport, but also contributing to the many horse breakdowns on the track. With each state having its own racing commission to regulate the sport in that state, the industry as a whole has remained fragmented. Through its commerce powers, Congress could and should mandate a national horse racing commission with a standardized set of mandatory rules for the entire sport.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Equine Cosmetic Crimes and Other Tails of Woe Sandra Tozzini 9 Animal L. 159 (2003)

Many invasive procedures, including surgery, are performed on horses’ tails purely for cosmetic reasons.

This article reviews the current status of both American and international “anti-cosmetic” statutes, focusing on the constitutional problems that the current American statutes raise. The article proposes a model federal statute that is constitutionally sound, addresses all forms of cosmetic tail procedures, and provides a vehicle for enforcement.
