Then who knows what kind of snowball effect you can have. Look at uproar IMUS caused with a stupid comment. You get these crazy people with no life and no job (PETA and Al Sharpton types) and they have nothing better to do then try to ruin people and livelyhoods. I also refuse to give AOL another dollar of my money for giving this uneducated person the grand forum that he recieved.

MaTH,
You are correct. PETA will milk this "comparison" for full effect, just like the major media outlets milked Barbaro's breakdown in last year's Preakness.
I lost count after I'd seen it 50 times.
Heck, we even got a chance to see it again this year.
Was that before or after Mending Fences went down? They showed that one a few times also.
AOL and the major networks aren't "horse racing" friendly. They go way beyond the races to generate idiots with big hearts and small minds.
Just my opinion.
BTW...my horses live better than some people.
