Blog Post #15 - Integrating a Quote

So I have pulled the following quotes from an article that I believe help define/refine what I'm trying to say. The colors I used are more of an importance rating than anything else.
Yellow = relates more to the sides of the issue
Green = relates to deeper issue OUTSIDE of the Lasix controversy
Blue = direct relation to the human issue I'm having a problem writing.
A question of welfare?
Other prominent figures,
however, approach the issue from another angle – that the
very public debate surrounding Lasix is overshadowing efforts to make changes
within the industry that would be more critical to racehorse safety and
welfare.
Maggi
Moss, who owns a large string of horses from
her base in Iowa and is a long-time animal-rights advocate, said:
“There are too many unsound horses
running – horses that need breaks, horses that
should not be running and are having soundness problems masked by race-day or
pre-race medications,” she said. “What about discussing shockwaving and
multiple injecting? What about discussing breeding unsound horses?
“What I see is a real problem as to
the welfare of racehorses is that horses can have no after-life or pain-free
life due to this sort of abuse. I do not understand why it’s OK to use
cortisone or shockwaving or new boutique drugs, never giving horses breaks and
continuing to run unsound horses, and then [I] try to understand how Lasix
became so urgent and the topic of the day. Shouldn’t the welfare of the horses
be the concern?”
