I am
appalled at all the replies condoning beating, whacking and hitting a horse on
the head. What is wrong with me that I can't see the human compassion in that?
Or the intelligence of the theory that beating is ok because it is a horse?
Because it is big and dangerous? So is your truck, and if you can't drive, stay
out of it.
If a horse hits his own head, that is out of my
control. But to pick up a bat, (plastic or not) or a curtain rod or something to
cause great pain and fear and hit an animal with it,
well that is out of my realm of belief. What am I missing?
I am not a "horse whisperer", nor can I declare I
have never lost my patience with my animals or kids. But to purposely whip or
beat an animal because somebody, (maybe me) screwed up somewhere and now
we have a problem? Just isn't in me. Why don't we just beat them senseless the
day they are born and avoid all that rearing and nonsense all
together?
I am extremely disappointed. What an angry world
this is. Even in my little horse world. So, so disappointed. {:-(
All I can say is, Peace be with you all. May your
horses never act like... a horse.
