The only difference here between cattle and horses is that we don't eat horsemeat and it is considered culturally taboo.
If a cow could click off twelve second furlongs and took a bit, would we cease eating hamburgers and steaks?

gosh, i hope not. i like steaks and would hate to have to switch to goat meat.
all i do know is that no animal deserves to be mistreated in the way that paragallo chose to treat those beautiful horses. regardless of the end result for an animal, mistreatment, starvation and neglect are all disgraceful acts.
