Re: [RC] THE DIFFERENCE WITH MARIPOSA! - Rae Callaway

There are plenty of ways to step in and stop abuse without resorting to violence.

So while everyone was waiting for the police or Animal Control they sit and watch someone to continue to abuse their horse. I am glad someone had the guts to step in before the horse died. Reminds me of the crowds that watch a human being beaten or raped.

IT DOESN’T MATTER!  Whatever the cause, Patrick should NOT have reacted the way he did.  You want to go after the guy that hurt his horse – call Animal Control.  Call the police.  You do NOT commit assault and battery yourself.

People,
This guy was HITTING his horse with a STICK!!!!  The poor horse ran out of gas after giving his all and the man hit and spurred him!  Is that an "it could happen to anyone" situation?!  NO, I think not.
The horse would have DIED if not for the skills of the vets.  It was pretty outrageous. 

I don't seriously think the guy should have been beaten up, but I can't help think Patrick should not be the one being censured and rebuked.
