Extreme Race Day: A Trifecta of Animal Abuse
The Minnesota Lottery recently sponsored "Extreme Race Day" at Canterbury Park in Shakopee on June 16. Ads for the event read "Camel, Ostrich & Zebra Races. It's Going to be a Real Zoo." The MN Lottery is on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Please ask the lottery on their social media sites if promoting an event that abuses animals is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds. You can also email the lottery at lottery@mnlottery.com. Encourage the lottery not to sponsor any more events that abuse animals.
