Barbaro's Dead?????

Yep, he sure is.....and the bottom line is if his owners weren't in a business that kills horses every single day he would probably still be alive and frolicking right at this moment.

Am I anti racing? Hell no...just like I am not anti rodeo or anti eventing or anti anything else that might take an animals life from time to time.

How did Barbaro become the anti slaughter poster child anyway? The TB industry, although they profess to be anti slaughter, send TB to the slaughter house every day. More horses die in TB racing than any other equine sport.

Barbaro and the Jackson's....hummm....ok, so Barbaro's owners are anti slaughter, or are they? I seriously have to wonder. I mean it was no secret in the beginning that their main intention after Barbaro's break down was to get him breeding sound so they could MAKE MORE MONEY. My gut feeling is the Jackson's picked up on Barbaro becoming an anti slaughter poster child and played that route to stay in the lime light because of the attention their horse was receiving.

Of course any respect I might have had for the Jackson's went out the door when the FOB's were allowed to act like PETA. Any respectable person would not allow what is going on on the ABR forum. If you worshiped a false idol (Barbaro) and talked of God while in the same sentence threatening people and judging them for their different views, I would know you were a lunatic and NOT want to be associated with it. So that alone tells me the Jackson's have a few screws loose too.

AGAIN, the Jackson's only intent was to get Barbaro BREEDING SOUND to MAKE MONEY. No secret....watch the early news clips and read the articles. It was stated many many times....it wasn't until later on they jumped on the radical bandwagon...

Just a little something to think about.....And of course, as always, this is my OPINION!
