Sylvia I grew up watching "The Big 3" (Kentucky, Preakness, and Belmont) with my mom, who's a horse racing fan. Horse racing isn't my favorite sport, and the act of riding a horse would scare me silly, not because horses are mean, awful, evil creatures, but because my sense of balance is skewed due to my Spina Bifida. It would be an awfully long fall for me if I fell off of a horse, and the prospect of doing such a thing scares the snot outta me. I watched the KD, and the Preakness, and the minute Barbaro came up lame, something inside me said, "Crud... they're gonna have to probably end up putting this horse down.". I was cautiously optimistic when news came that they may be able to save Barbaro, even if he couldn't race again. When I heard about his being euthanized, I was both sad and angry. I was sad, because for a long while it really DID look like Barbaro would beat the odds and recover fully enough to enjoy life in retirement. My anger stemmed from the fact that they put this poor horse through hell for about eight months or so, and the end result was him being euthanized??? Please... I read a news report online somewhere when Barbaro was euthanized that said that when they did the initial operation after the Preakness, they removed over *90* bone fragments from his hindquarter. I mean, for all intents and purposes, he shattered that hind leg, and should have never been walking on it again. I just don't understand what compels a person to put an animal through so much pain and discomfort just so they can breed more horses from Barbaro's DNA. Doesn't make any sense to me at all... --- Unca Cory |

Puuurayerz all around. Diana, Ryan, & Cinnamon. -- Regards, Fred FYI, according to ESPN, "A series of ailments -- including laminitis in the left rear hoof, an abscess in the right rear hoof, as well as new laminitis in both front feet -- proved too much for the gallant colt.". http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/hor...ory?id=2747087 The laminitis in both front feet was discovered about 24 hours before they put Barbaro down. He literally didn't have any good legs to stand on anymore, which was the deciding factor in the decision to euthanize him. They made absolutely the right decision, if you ask me. --- Unca Cory |
