I also was wondering if anybody feels the same way I do ? About Barbaro . He was such a great horse who knows how great he would have been untill now that he has been relegated to being knubaro . I mean how long do they keep him alive? Shall they cut off his back legs and his front and put him on a stick and keep him alive and change his name too knubaro? I dont undertsand why they let this horse suffer so much , Now I read he is learning to sit like a dog. Let him go be a champion in a better place quit pumping this poor horse full of medication . The Jacksons will burn in hell for keeping this horse alive for the stud fee's . He is a champion let him be a champion not some shell of a horse an experiment of some sort . I will bet that Dr. Richardson has said many times this horse should have been put down. the whole situation makes me sick. LET HIM GO
Go Knubbie Go .......I will remember Barbaro the derby champion not this freak they are keeping alive .

You don't know that he is suffering. You haven't seen him. I think the people attending to him have a pretty good handle on how he is doing. My knowledge about how he is doing is limited. I only know what I read, but from the information I have based on what I have read, I think they are doing the right thing. It sounds like he is hanging in there. He still has a good appetite. I think that is the key with any animal when it comes to making a decision about whether it's time to put them down. If an animal is really miserable and suffering, they will stop eating. As long as the animal still has a good appetite, that means that they are doing alright.
