ORIGINAL: Iamsemisweet The people I think are most disgusting? The family that would give some stranger their old family pet without checking to make sure the animal was going to a good home. Why would they be most disgusting? They sold the animal they had scheduled to be put down to a person who put it down humanely. How is that disgusting? What evidence do you have that this horse was an old family pet? For all you know, it was a work horse, or a old PMU mare the previous owners where desperate to get ride off. Maybe they neglected it already. Or maybe, it was indeed and old family pet, with health issues, and the owners didn't have the money to take care of it, which meant they'd rather put it down than leave it to suffer any longer. You really don't know, do you? While I personally don't quite understand why she decided to pose with the carcass as she did, I'm more disturbed by you seemingly thinking that the reason it's an issue is because she did it with a horse, and not some other death animal. I mean, would you have been happier if she had done it with a cow carcass instead? And if not, why the overemphasize on the fact that it's a horse as the primary reason of it being disgusting? I know Americans are weird about eating horse meat, and somehow seem to think that the life of a horse is worth more than that of other livestock. Being European myself, and having eaten horse meat quite frequently when I still lived there, I don't get that. The American attitude towards horse meat has reached the point where most people won't even buy dog food anymore when it's got horse meat in it. It makes no sense at all... Meat is meat, and if you're so compassionate about the horses, why not about all the EXTRA cows that now need to be slaughtered to fulfill the demand for meat that the market has, when perfectly good horse meat is thrown away instead of being used properly. I really don't get how people can make sense of the line of thinking so many seem to have: "I love animals; I love horses, they are my friends; I don't want to eat my friends; therefor I'm going to have perfectly good meat of animals who lived a long, good and fulfilling life be thrown away and have a bunch of cows raised in crappy little feedlots instead -never being allowed the freedom a horse enjoys- to make up for the difference; cows are food anyways, so it doesn't matter if a bunch more of them suffer because of my actions, as long as nobody eats my precious friends; because I LOVE animals!" So please, do explain to me... why exactly does it upset you that she did this to a HORSE instead of the fact that she did this to an ANIMAL being upsetting?
