Thanks for your post, MMSC...as always, you bring to light a side of the game that sometimes is overlooked. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that the animals involved are living, breathing beings as well, and have feelings like anyone else.
Not to mention, they are so easy to get attached to!

Thanks again, sad to see the losses, but important to remember as well.

While walking my dog today, she ran down a frog and tore the living sh#t out of it...the damn frog's eyes popped right out of it's head.

Please add the frog to your list of dead animals.

You know, this is what makes the world go round, and message boards work.....some people stand on soap boxes, some of them disingenuously, and some not, and others call them out for it.

I just hope every single person who has applauded this thread has also donated to horse rescue organizations. My guess is some haven't. I do, however, know that at least one person who finds this thread insultingly ridiculous has done what he could for this situation.

We get it, MissStormCat cares about every race horse that dies annually, even though my guess is she knows little to nothing about many of them, or even necessarily how or why they perished. That's great....that's her thing on this and other websites. However, how many times do we need to be reminded of this? Some of us think it is less often than we actually are....some don't. Once again that's what makes the world go round. But that doesn't mean dissenters have to keep their mouths shut......haven't we honestly heard enough of this sh it from the person who has destroyed this once great country of ours?

Most of the frogs in my neighborhood don't know enough to get out of my swimming pool in the spring.....
