I'm sorry, but I dont see the big deal. No disrespect intended, I just dont see why this got so much coverage as it did. I guess the owners feel bad and are hurting but hearing how all these people sent cards and gifts to him is so weird. Oh well.


Nice.

Personally, I value an animal's life as much if not more than that of a human. Plus, had this horse NOT been subjected to the will of humans it would still be alive.

I can't believe anyone thought it would survive. I thought the cardinal rule of horses was that once they broke their legs that was it, dog food.




True it was an animal, but he was a great champion, and a beautiful horse....a great athlete who, metaphorically, died on the field of play. I think of it as if some great work of art were randomly destroyed. Obviously it is not equivalent to human life, but it can make us sad just the same.
