Me thinks the lady doth protest too much!  Carrie, that was not a  
personal attack aimed solely at you, though apparently that's how you  
took it.  However, I do know people who have trouble discussing the  
issue at all and some of them are on ridecamp and some are people I  
know in my real life.  Those same people often allow animals to suffer  
for lengthy periods because they are way more into how "sensitive"  
they are... than about what's really loving and humane and responsible  
for the animal.  I doubt seriously that there is a person on ridecamp  
that isn't very emotionally attached to their animals.  There is a  
difference between using that emotional attachment as a crutch or  
waving it as a banner, and doing the hard things in life that come  
with the responsibility of owning an animal and putting what's best  
for their quality of life above your own interests.  I am not saying  
YOU would do that, Carrie.  But, I've seen it done and the ban on  
slaughter has only caused thousands more horses to suffer.  It's OK to  
disagree with me, but don't doubt my love of my animals.  You don't  
know me or them.  Cindy


Cindy said:  Personally, I think if you are too fragile to have a
discussion about the death and disposal of your animals, then you have
no business owning them.

Being a "softy" about animals is not being "fragile" in my opinion, it
is being compassionate.  If a person doesn't have a certain compassion
for animals, THOSE are the ones that should not own them!
