Lawmakers hear plea from a Cedar Rapids girl against horse drugging
A 10 year old Cedar Rapids girl urged Iowa lawmakers at a public hearing to keep race horses drug free. Sarah Weinmann wore a horse head button and argued that legalizing drugging would invite crime and harm racing integrity. She and supporters warned against treating drugs on horses as acceptable while opponents cited mixed evidence on performance effects and public trust. The bill would authorize two drugs, phenylbutazone and lasix, for race horses, stirring debate on racing safety and ethics.
