Horses and dolphins get more respect than the unborn. Sorry, no tear in my eye over this as long as helpless little infants are slaughter daily in so many ways. Would love to see just half of those people in the picture involved in saving the unborn.

Give us your plan for having volunteer firefighters and other emergency crews rescue babies from abortions. I am sure we would all be interested in hearing it. In case you haven't noticed these people are helpless in doing anything about it unless they break the law and end up in prison. Your statement is that of an unhinged person.

We, conservatives, all hate abortions but to rail about firefighters not "doing something" about them is just insane.

Does this small town have a problem with horse owners pushing their horses into wells?

Well, that's why then. They hadn't experienced it and were freaked out.

Still oughta do their job though, and not leave it to passing good Samaritans. Hopefully with the house fire they manned up and did what they were supposed to do.

When I joined the Fire Department there were Fir Boxes all over the city. We went to a lot of false alarms

Those boxes have all been removed, replaced by citizens with cell phones.

I’ve been gone from Fun City for a while. I remember them talking about removing them, but I thought that was beaten down.

Anyway, don’t live there no mo, so not my problem.

Horses do things like this constantly. You would be amazed at the trouble horses contrive to get themselves into. They are ceaselessly curious but aren’t good physicists and rarely predict the results of their actions.

I understand horses I have five. (and will be saddled up for an afternoon ride within 20 minutes)

It simply seems ridiculous that animal control officers would open up a case like this to determine if it was an accident or not.

Why would you think they are not, it's possible that half of them or more, are just as involved as you are, Heaven forbid, - maybe even more so!

Almost every member here is pro life but this is a horsey thread.

They may have wanted to make sure that no negligence was involved.
