Even people that like horse racing obviously point out the horrible ethics that companies that promote it partake in and do what they can to try and push for better conditions and proper treatment for the horses before, during and after their racing careers. There's entire businesses that are designed around trying to make sure those horses don't just get discarded and slaughtered and are also taking advantage of the growing popularity caused by umamusume worldwide to encourage more people to put pressure on those industries to push for better treatment. It's good more people are getting eyes on it, especially through a medium that encourages parasocial relationships to the horse itself, since it leads to more people caring about their treatment rather than just the money it brings in.
