Tuesday, November 8, Prop 26, a sports-betting measure that would have provided a massive subsidy to California horseracing, went down in flames – rejected by some 70% of voters.
This was a huge victory, especially
with the record-setting amount of money spent by the prop’s backers,
and we at HW were very much a part of it, both within a large
statewide pro-animal coalition and on our own – op-eds, social-media
blitz, etc.
To be sure, as California is (by far) the largest market in America,
sports-betting is still likely to come. But know that we stand ready
to fight back any proposal that includes a lifeline to the cruel,
deadly horseracing industry.
