I wanted to make sure people could read it.
Since this is such a big topic on here I feel the need to add my opinion to it as well.
BARBARO
From my conclusions the people saying "this was just a horse" do not give two sh^ts about animals. if they had a pet and it was sick they would feel no remorse about taking it out back and shooting it, dumping it on the side of the road somewhere, or who knows what else to kill it. These people exist that is just part of life. I do not have any pets, I was not one of the people who gave carrots or apples to barbaro, but I will admit I felt kinda sad that they put him down. The reason for this is the media. the media is what makes you feel attached to this horse and not attached to the dead squirrel or rabbit on highway 24. we all know people, animal, and other living things die each day, some by torture, some by natural causes, ect. To dwell on everything that dies every day would not be correct because you would feel sadness everyday and who wants sadness when this life is hard enough as it is. The media made you feel like this horse was your pet/friend. They presented the story and made you feel like it was your horse you had to put down. granted, again, the people who view only humans life as sacred will not understand or care, but there are people in this world who view ALL life as sacred. u will never convience the other that your view is correct (that is what makes people different) so the people who view ALL life is sacred felt an emotional atachment to this horse and felt sad when they put him away, and the people who don't care about life other then humans (if they even care about human life at all) could care less.
thats my two cents, i'm out...........
