HORSES NOT FIT FOR EXTREME WEATHER
METRO -
July 20, 2007
Regarding "PETA wants horses off city streets." (7/12) In this great city, in
the 21st century, do we really need animals hauling us around for entertainment?
We ought to be ashamed for allowing the horse-drawn carriage industry to thrive
at the expense of suffering animals.
How many folks have stood in the fierce cold or desert-like heat for 10 hours
at a time and thought it bearable? It is not bearable for horse or human - and
we ought to hang our heads in horror that it has been permitted and even
encouraged.
