Re: [RC] [RC] OT - Orpheo, a.k.a. Merlin (the Magnificent!) - Barbara McCrary
I don't admire torturing animals, but this is NOT our
culture and it's basically none of our business. We wouldn't like it if
someone from another culture criticized ours. They could say, "You
horrible people, you let women go around in public without covering their heads,
or worse yet, you let them wear pants or go to the beach half naked. It's
all a matter of culture and perspective, and I don't think we should be
criticizing or dictating to other cultures how they should conduct
theirs.
As for the horse, I have never seen a horse run
sideways. It's incredible...

One of those cultural things I suppose Susan! As I watched the
video I couldn't help but feel what would happen with just one false step or
command on the riders part. And there just seems to be something so
wrong about torturing an animal in a ring that really doesn't have much of a
fighting chance. Chris is right...too hard to watch.
