I'm not saying I would ever want to have to choose between the two, but I value the life of an animal EQUALLY to that of a human. I'm obviously not alone in that belief.
You're definitely not alone, and that saddens me even more than the fact that Barbaro died. Sure it's sad to see a champion with seemingly endless possibilities go down like that. But it IS a horse. It reminds me of those news stories that come up all the time where an animal is abused somehow and it receives donations from people who feel sad for it, even though there are millions of children around the world who are dying that nobody cares to help.
I am sad to see Barbaro put down, but to say his life was worth more than a childs life is absurd to me.
