"Conscience often comes in last, but not in this case. Barbaro’s owners gave that horse exactly what he had given them, which is everything."
It's not conscience that equates what a horse gives and what is due from an owner. It's the animal rights perspective. It's a good thing that most horse owners don't do this, horses would soon be extinct.
Makes me sick. What about the horse racing industry.....and those poor horses who can no longer make the cut and are shipped off to become someone's din din. Rumor is the barbarity at the horsie meat plants is appalling. Its a barbaric sport and it wrings these animals out like sponges and then throws them away. All the while taking its human toll as well with those who are dumb enough to gamble and become addicted.
