Unfortunately this is a very common thing in the US. Since the bill was passed that prohibits horses being sold for slaughter or for shipping overseas for meat, there is no kill market, which translates to people letting horses starve, people dumping horses, people not euthanizing them when necessary - all because it costs money they do not have. The people behind this bill have no idea about horses, livestock, and humane-ness. You came across a blatant example of the result. I would have done as you did --keep on keepin' on girl!

HOW do you just let a horse die on the side of the road like nothing? Isn't there a responsibility to do something with them when they're dying, just like anything else? That would've drove me nuts all day. Well, you tried to help, but were met with this :wall: Poor horsie :no: that makes me sick to my stomach!

I bet there's also a good chance that they couldn't feed it anymore and just turned it out to fend for itself. There have been lots of new articles about people dumping their horses in parks, thinking they can take care of themselves. As big as they are, they are delicate creatures, it's much easier taking care of a dog/cat than a horse/cow, especially dairy cows. That’s heartbreaking.

On NPR yesterday I heard about these wild mountain gorillas that got executed in ??? somewhere in Africa can't remember the country ??? but this photographer captured the locals taking it to be buried. It wasn't poached, just shot and one pregnant female was burned. It made me wonder if it's OK to get upset about the animals, when there is genocide and war all over the place... Africa (several wars, refugees in camps all over etc.), war in Iraq and i'm sure there are more. I don't read the paper, listen to the NPR news or anything when news of THE WAR comes on. I was against it from the start and I have compassion fatigue for the soldiers that have died & been wounded or have PTSD or have been discharged for "pre-existing mental illness" (LOL) or whatever. I have compassion fatigue for the Iraqi's, for the Muslims of the world who aren't terrorists but are being harassed especially in the US. I'm just tired of it all and want it to go away. FAR FAR away. AM I an EVIL person... liberal of course, so in Collin Co. Texas all Democrats are somewhat evil or at least just irrelevant (usually). JZ again PS.

You're so nice... I would have done it too for a sick animal. No being deserves to suffer in pain or disease. Maybe it's OK and it's just OLD. Like my 18 year old dog. He's just hanging around, retired, snoozing all day, barking some at night and waking us up. As we can't leave him outside in the heat at night. He'll bark more to get INSIDE in the AC. He barks all day but my stay at home hubby puts up with it, instead of picking up poop and blotting pee around the house... 'cause they don't make doggy depends that I know of or can afford to put on his scrawny little butt. JZ Awe! You’re so nice… I would have done it too for a sick animal.

Thanks for adding the updates. At least it is good to know someone is trying. I have to say that if he did have to die by the side of he road, at least it was a beautiful place to die. We don't have that kind of greeness here in Texas (especially since we are in a drought). That is really sad. Thanks for adding the updates. At least it is good to know someone is trying.
