This thread was about a horse. We are tired of it being hijacked about other issues.
Liberals constantly bore on about " the children" But they use that as an excuse to shove the programs down our throats. When freepers start to use the same tactics it is disgusting.
Keep those comments to the relevant threads.
In scanning this thread, I did not find any mention of the crux of the matter -- that horses are raced too young. They are put on the track before their bones have fully formed, and fractures are the inevitable result.
After the injured colts are euthanized, the racing industry and the owners and the adoring press all weep crocodile tears. The press accounts NEVER mention that this is a horse that would be alive today, were the owners and the industry not so greedy and cruel. Barbaro was a victim, and the humans who claim to love him were his killers.
Tonight on Boston Legal, the character played by Candice Bergen informed the nation that they horses are raced before they are two years old, before their bones are fully formed. Once in a while, Hollywood does get it right.
