Here's another wild horse column

I've discovered that the greatest way to get hits on my ag blog is to expose the hypocrisy and stupidity of the "horses as pets" crowd. I wrote another blog a few days ago about the bottling up of a horse slaughter bill in a congressional committee until next year, and it brought them out of the wood work.

Anyone who dares question their carefully conceived defense of horses, and points out horses as the beasts of burden they are, gets blasted. Memories have faded of the pre-tractor days, when horses pulled wagons, plows and harvesting machines. To the days when men rode them across country or town out of necessity.

A good horse is a proud worker. Horses get wild and mean if they are not regularly trained and ridden. That's because it is what they were intended to do, and built for.

We don't eat horse meat in the U.S., but it is considered a delicacy in France and other countries.

To not open your eyes to the reality of the situation, denies credulity.
