excellent related piece by Matt hegarty that I know he worked REALLY hard on.

really was a good read. there's no easy answer to the issue of what to do with all these horses-35k or so a year in foals. most horses live to 25 years old or higher. it would be nice if breeders and owners only took on what they could conceivably handle for life, but we all know that won't happen.

what i do know is no horse deserves to be neglected, mistreated, starved, or allowed to become infested with parasites. there is no excuse for what they found on that farm, especially when you consider that paragallo isn't exactly destitute.

i hope he is never allowed to own an animal of any kind ever again.
