If we value all life, we need to grieve for all of it. Because I value all life, I love the animals, too. All life is precious, bar none, because all of it has the same Creator, who designed all of it. To give to one is not to take from another or to value babies less. St. Francis understood this very well.

Reported on Rush's show, Barbaro's last meal was grass.

If this horse was so great, have him stuffed like Trigger, The Greatest Horse of All Time.

I agree! It was only a horse whose sole purpose of existence was to make its owners MONEY. Sorry to see it have to be put down; that was a terrible injury it sustained. ( I always thought the animal would have to be euthanized after seeing its injury.) They kept it around as long as they could in order to extract as much semen as possible from it. In death it will still be making its owners MONEY.

I was listening to WLSAM this morning and some of the jokes were a bit over the line.
Don was wondering if Barbero had conjugal visits before he was put down, after all Camilla Parker Bowles was in PA last weekend.

My sympathies for your loss. Growing up I had three horses and loved all of them, I know what you must have gone through with the death of a beloved four legged friend. The passing of my dog, Katie, this past May, has left a hole in my heart too.
The death of this beautiful and talented animal is very sad, I became misty when I heard the news.

It was tragic because of what every horse is.
...ultimately a burger in Japan or glue.

You know when I first read that on this thread I thought it was an amusing comment. But now I find it quite touching. Animals and people all have last meals. Even the baby ones. And yes, even the aborted if you truly consider their nutritional intake. We life forms all do have that in common. So Barabro's last meal was grass. Touching when you stop and think about it.

Hey, I love horses too, but this editorial sounds like hash made from leftover Obama copy.
"But nearly everyone who met him also talked of the life he displayed, a vivid presence that was so much more visible to us because it happened to belong to a winner..."

Thank you for posting this.
I'm sorry so many conservatives in this thread are so ugly in their minds and hearts.
To: Miss Didi
Just reporting what I heard.
They were also wondering if he smoked the grass.
To: Kitten Festival
I wish he could have gotten well. I don't blame the family for trying so hard to save him.
Because we grew to love this horse does not mean that we consider it more important than children or anything else.
Why hijack this thread with whining?

I won't assume everyone who criticized or mocked the article is a conservative, but there should be enough room in any heart to care about unborn babies and people in general and still feel sadness for Barbaro's death.
