The person I replied to did. I am neither a horse lover nor hater. It news about the injury is sad, but it is part of horse racing. Animals are not people, but some act as if they are more important than people.
I know lots of women who love their horses, which is one reason I choose not to date women who are 'into' horses. nothing against them; just not a lifestyle I want to be involved with.
I ask again, since you so clearly care nothing for horses or for us women who love them, why are you posting on this thread? The rest of us would like very much to discuss horses without being criticized for our love of horses.
Why do people like you always have to make such ridiculous comparisons.
The race had a sad ending... if we wouldn't be wrong to still be celebrating this horse's win, I don't see how we're wrong to still be grieving it.
Eight years ago I would have agreed with you...Seven years ago I was given my first dog. My dogs are more important TO ME than some people are. That's just a fact. And yes, I am a woman...but my husband feels the same. Hell, he's worse than I am about it!
