Silence Suzuka wasn’t euthanized on the track, he suffered a fracture that was actually exacerbated because he decelerated in a way that actually prevented his jockey from getting hurt. They took him to the vet and deemed to euthanize him because the injury was beyond repair.

The horse that had to be euthanized on the track, that everyone was thinking of, was Rice Shower. Rice Shower was only six years old and running his last race on the 1995 Takarazuka Kinen (had to look up the race), when his jockey noticed that Rice was performing poorly and tried to get him to slow down. Rice instead wanted to win and sprinted forward which caused the leg break, and Rice was the one who was euthanized on the track.

And of course, what PETA doesn’t understand (and will never understand) was just how loved both of those horses were. Rice Shower’s jockey was so distraught that he stayed with him the whole time until he was euthanized.

I knew the thing about the first one, that was in the piece I read, they may have mentioned the other one, not entirely sure.

My memory can get a bit fuzzy when I get enraged about peta being peta.

This is all good information to have out there regardless though so thank you.

In the end the whole thing worked out nicely for the horses that were getting the donated grass and such, but that was before the puppy murdering club called peta stepped in I think, either way the donation site broke which while that's not the best outcome when it happens it also got a whole lot of other folks in there that likely donated to the cause that wouldn't have in the first place because of all the press it got in the end.

HONESTLY roy really picked his team so well. to a man, every single one of them is different from the persona they project. havoc seems like a lumbering idiot who could be easily enticed into spilling secrets, but in fact he is quick-thinking and tight-lipped. his biggest draw may be that he's capable and efficient muscle in the field, but his unique appeal to roy is that he's clever and staunchly loyal.

breda looks like an unassuming lazy lug who cares about food and doing the bare minimum. nobody suspects he's incredibly clever and strategic, capable of working in the shadows and moving people remotely while keeping his involvement discreet.

fuery looks like a shy, gentle little nerd with a weird fixation on technology, but he is in fact a master of covert communications, surprisingly fearless in the field and is always thinking ahead. his preparedness gets the team out of tight situations.

falman honestly. his appeal is that he looks like an average dude who just, works. he's not strong, he's not outspoken. he just seems like a normal, reserved guy. that's his advantage. he's incredibly intelligent, a veritable repertoire for political and historical knowledge. but he's so unassuming that nobody suspects he could play a hand in greater schemes 'cause he's just A Dude. it gives him the freedom to move around without arousing suspicion.

and we know all about riza.

Herding and Guard work*, but yeah. Rottweilers are one of the older dog breeds we have, since the Roman empire was a thing, but interest in the breed picked up a lot during and after the World Wars.
