>>So, we're fools.<<
Me thinks thou doth protest too much. Where did I say anything about fools? Nope. Didn't happen.
I've ridden horses. Never really enjoyed it though. I suppose if it was all I had to get around, other than my own two feet, I'd feel differently about it though.
You can become more attached to a horse than a car or bicycle though. Heck, I've seen people become attached to goldfish. It does not mean the person was a fool.
Human beings are less predictable than most animals because we have a free will and are self aware. Ranchers call animals "dumb animals" for a reason. They don't mean "dumb" the way a schoolyard bully means "dumb".
I really didn't mean to touch a nerve here. I really was just wondering about the "shooting horses with broken legs" thing. That was the reason for my initial post. I am ignorant on the issue and was hoping to get educated. Instead I got insults and hyper-sensitivity.
Never mind. I'll google it.

O the Victimhood. Where is the emoticon playing the violin when it is needed?
People with any experience with animals know that they are given an overdose of barbiturates.
