Horses run on the turf course at Santa Anita Park last month. The Los Angeles County district attorney on Tuesday announced the creation of a task force to investigate the rise in horse deaths at the racetrack.
The task force will include deputy district attorneys and law enforcement officials within the D.A.’s office whose goal will be to determine “whether unlawful conduct or conditions affected the welfare and safety of horses” at the park, Lacey said.Arms Runner was euthanized after falling on the dirt track crossover in a 6½-furlong race on the hillside turf course and breaking his right front leg.
Ten of the horse deaths have occurred during training on the main dirt track. There have been seven deaths during or after races on the dirt. Even though the latest death occurred on dirt, it will be categorized as a turf, or grass, fatality.as violations of California animal cruelty laws. In a three-page letter to Lacey, the animal rights group cited historical data but nothing specific about the current string of deaths.
“We welcome an investigation,” Alan Balch, executive director of the California Thoroughbred Trainers, said last month. “It’s long past the time that these unfounded accusations be proven wrong and that everyone realize that our trainers’ first concern is always for their horses.”A roundup of the stories shaping California.

They may want to also launch a taskforce to investigate the ~650,000 unborn humans that died at PPact facilities last year.
How's the DA doing on the Ed BUCK case of 2 BLACK men dead in his Hollywood apartment?
Why do they keep breaking their legs? It’s almost like horses aren’t meant to be bred to be so large and muscular and rode at top speed with men on their backs competing for money.
It’s about time.

Joe Biden’s handling of Anita Hill’s harassment allegations clouds his presidential prospectsJoe Biden, preparing to enter the 2020 presidential race, has spent years trying to make amends for his handling of the Anita Hill sexual harassment allegations. A careful review of the record from 28 years ago shows problems that could hurt his candidacy. Why is the LA Times running interference for the CreepyCrazyHandsGuy? When you know better you do better. Everyone makes mistakes and have said or done things in the past that we wish we could have handled better.

A look behind the Hollister Ranch gates. Will the public ever access these exclusive beaches?Behind the gates of Hollister Ranch, residents worry how public access will change their way of life. Take a closer look at one of the most pristine stretches of coastline in California — and the people who have fought for decades to preserve the land their way. In 1853, Colonel W.W. Hollister arrived in the newly American California. He struck a few deals and eventually settled along the Gaviota coast, where his family ran a cattle operation for more than a century. For anyone interested to learn more about the history of the ranch, I highly recommend The Ranch Papers, by Jane Hollister Wheelwright. It gives a beautifully lyrical description of the land itself, as well as in depth history behind it.
