HSUS is not one bit better than PETA. How many animals EACH YEAR do they euthanize instead of caring for them..... so the can have more money to promote their anti-animal agriculture agenda???
It will be interesting to see the outcomes of the investigations and see how near, or how far from, the truth the statements made so far really are.
I was at the rodeo that night and while I don't recall that horse, it is horrible that it happened to any animal. And, it's only about 60 miles from here! Bad, bad deal any way you look at it.
If the fireworks continued as wildly all over town as they were near the arena during and shortly after the rodeo, the law had it's hands full trying to keep people from being maimed! It may have quieted down pretty well in the wee hours of the night, and probably was a lonely town. Ft. Pierre is quite small, not more than maybe a couple thousand people, if that many and rather widely scattered, too. Doubt if they have many law officers, but it does seem, unless the horse was drugged or something, by the idiots, that it would have made plenty of noise. Strange deal.
I do hate seeing names published until there is real evidence, and charges made, which I could have missed. Haven't been paying much attention to news as we had out of town guesta Friday and busy catching up since then.
Re. the horse being dragged behind the trailer.....it is sickening, but mistakes are made in haste, or when drinking alcohol and the guilty party may be as miserable over it as anyone could be. Hold off hanging the guy until the facts are known!
