One vet in the area says he favors the law, and that it was passed strictly for the safety of the horses.

Bullsqueeze! This law was passed (probably at the urging of the Vets lobby) to provide vets with more work.

I think that libs don't want anyone to own horses it's just like slavery, right? [The equivalence of humans and animals? Right?]

People don't 'need' horses.

So they put a reg. on it...just like $100 LTC's...pay for your right.

I owned horses. The farrier floated. The horses seemed bored....and just wanted to get back to eating.

I've never seen a horse in pain' from a float. I, on the other hand, would flinch ...just watching it. YEEEESH!
