They ought to treat this pair like hoss thieves of old, and string ‘em up. Let the punishment fit the crime!

Let the punishment fit the crime!

It's a sad day when people equate human and animal life.

Was this wrong? You bet. But it was destruction of property, and nothing else. The horse wasn't "a family member" or "part of the neighborhood" or any other nonsense.

In your mind, does killing a horse warrant the death penalty? If so, how about a dog? A cat? A rabbit?

I first recognized the insanity while viewing an animal planet "cops" show featuring a couple of animal control types speeding across town in their cruiser, lights flashing, siren blaring, running red lights.... all to "rescue" a bunch of dumbs cats that were being neglected.

If they'd caused an accident on the way, I'm sure you would be fine with that too, right?

Insanity.
