Why Should You Care?
Horses Are More Than Just Animals
To some people, horses can be more than just plain old farm animals. They can be your hopes, your friends, your partners, and your dreams. They help many people with problems that they face. Horses have that vibe, and they're their when you need someone to listen to you. Sometimes all you need is a neck to bury your face in and cry with. A shoulder to lean on, when there doesn't seem to be any hope for you. Or maybe you've had a hard day at work, and you just need to release your stress through a long ride of your horse rocking you back and forth on their back. Horses are pure souls that can be trusted. Horses trust you until you show them that they can't.
Some people find fun in killing and hurting these animals. What have they ever done to us? These horses are traumatized, scared. Sometimes they can't ever truly trust anyone ever again . They're a lot like us, in some ways. So care. Just that is a little thing that you can do. Care about the breaking of spirits.
Horses Are Being Hurt Simply For The Crime of Living
You read that right. Unwanted horses are being killed because they're alive and nobody wants them. What if there was a person that nobody loved? Would you just go ahead and kill them because nobody would miss them? No. You wouldn't. So why do that to horses? Abused horses should always get a second chance at life. But sometimes we just can't give them that. Sometimes we just see that nobody loves them, and get rid of them. But why? Because we don't care. That's why. People have therapists that they go to when they're dealing with problems. All horses have is a slaughter house. What if we switched that around? It would be a whole lot different right? What if you were abused, and nobody wanted to take care of you? Well too bad, you have to be slaughtered. No other choices. Sorry. Too bad.
We domesticated horses. So we have some degree of responsibility for their well being. Many horses lead happy lives. We just need to make room in our hearts for the ones that are cracked and hurt. Killing is NOT the only solution. Some people just need to get that little fact through their thick skulls.
