Marketplace.org traced the journey of one prize-winning horse, Silky Shark, from American racetracks to a foreign slaughterhouse. “Silky Shark was everything you’d want in a racehorse,” said his former owner. “He was vibrant, fiery, a very happy horse.” But when the owner “fell on tough times, he sold Silky Shark to a buyer he trusted. Then the horse was resold again and again, eventually winding up in a Canadian slaughterhouse.”
