Randall Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong ... but wasn't he just a horse? Yeah, but to the owners he was like a pet you have to put to sleep after a long illness. They said even if he couldn't stud they wanted him to live.

godtomsatan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 How do you guys make it through the day with all the you do over every Tom, Dick, Harry, Spot, Rover, etc etc that dies on a daily basis? How do you make it through the day giving such a poo about what everyone else does? Relax and let the Rosie O'Donnell weep if they want to.

Grits and Shins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yeah, but to the owners he was like a pet you have to put to sleep after a long illness. They said even if he couldn't stud they wanted him to live. Yeah right. I bet he was more like an asset than a pet. Horse racing is big business.

Squeegiebo Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I fail to understand why all you bleeding heart liberals get so weepy when somebody, or in this case a horse, you've seen on television dies. Your interaction with that someone/horse in your daily life was ZERO. Your interaction after that someone/horse in your daily life will be EXACTLY the same after their death. You won't miss a beat in your daily life. When Tom Landry died somebody please explain to me why I was supposed to feel grief? I'd never met the man, never talked to him and had never been in the same room with him. I had seen him on television coach my favorite team. At his passing he had not been the coach for more than several years and had not even crossed my mind in all that time. So when he died I'm supposed to feel grief? No one here is weepy, just saddened. So, your answer to my question "So you don't give a chit about anyone's death unless you knew the person?" is "yes, you are correct"? Correct?

Brewer Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Repeat after me - "It was just a horse" Furthermore, it was a horse that nobody here even came with in 10 feet of touching let alone knowing. It wasn't a loved pet, it was an asset that was well cared for and in which every effort was made to save it's life. When your favorite race car driver wrecks his car do you cry for the poor car too? Did I condone poor treatment of the animal certainly not, and I don't believe the animal was treated poorly. Rather had it not won the Derby it likely would have been put to death more immediately.

Some of us wish the horse had pulled through, that's all. He didn't, he's gone and that's it. If all you ever care about is yourself, which you have already said is the case, you are a very poor man, in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefjay Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 wait, Tom Landry died? I thought he was still in the running for his old HC job with Dallas. Of course he would have to ditch the suits and buy some hoodies and cut the sleaves off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Exactly. One of the defining qualities of a human being is how they treat animals. cue spain... edit: Too bad spain isn't around to comment on this topic.

Azazello1313 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 That is correct. When a stranger dies I do not grieve over it. but do you need to make a point to blather on and on about how stupid it is for anyone else to express remorse? if you couldn't care less, why say anything at all? because you're just a complete dooosh?

Randall Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 After putting my dog to sleep I feel for these people. Yes it is business but some people treat their animals differently than farm implements. It's hard to put an animal you like to sleep even though you know you have to.

I am not so shallow as to cry over the death of every personality seen on television. Apparently others are so shallow as to "feel sad" and weep over the death of complete strangers, people and animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is business but some people treat their animals differently than farm implements. It's hard to put an animal you like to sleep even though you know you have to. I had to put a dog down about 10 years ago. It was a loved family pet that we had owned for 13 years. I was going to be a man about it and not cry ... but I cried on the way to the vet, at the vet, on the way home from the vet and the rest of the day. I not only cried but I wept. It took a solid week before I wasn't weepy just at the thought of him. So I understand how it feels to lose a loved pet. I dare say nobody here had that kind of relationship Barbaro. I also did not cry a whit when my neighbor's puppy died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel like your a better person than me because you are over the death of an animal you had never met ... more power to you brother. I'm sure you cry yourself to sleep every night over the all deaths in the world and wake feeling like a superior human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
