Horses

This is nothing about art but the rights of animals is something I feel strongly about.

I was watching the morning news and there was a report on a horse race and after the race a horse who had a ankle fracture had to be put down. now I understand the process one has to go through to heal the fractures or breaks of horse legs but what really bugs me is that people will go to the ends of the earth and try everything (no matter how unlikely it is to work) to save a human life, nothing is considered too hard however the horse is put down for an injury to it's leg.

I belive in the sancity of all life and that if it is possible to save a life (human or animal) then it should be saved.

ok, I'm off my soapbox now lol the horse thing just really bugs me.
