My wife has a horse, he is kept on a yard with a dozen other horses. Last week one of the horses fell ill, everyone on the yard thought it was colic, however it turned out to be some major blockage in the horse's gut.
After several visits from the vet in the last week, the horse was deemed to be suffering too much and was shot today. Which is fine, I accept that because that's the quickest and most humane way to end a horse's life.
A quarter of a mile down the road from the yard is a Hunt stable, the dead horse was duly fed to the hounds minutes after it had been shot!
Apparently this goes on all the time! Barbaric eff or what!
Is this serious?
The horse is dead? The dogs are hungry?
What are you going to do? Bury if with full military honours?
Feed the dead horse to something else. Whether or not you agree with hounds and therefore hunting, why waste a good carcass?
Why is it barbaric?
, perhaps a relation! would you still feel the same? Feed it to the hounds....don't matter cos they're dead! Shouldn't waste a good carcass should we? The dogs are hungry afterall!
