[dba-Tech] Barbaro

Arthur;

	I live in central Kentucky -- heart of the bluegrass, where Barbaro
lives. As far as I know, Barbaro never raced after the Preakness. He has
been in recovery the entire time. During the healing process, one of his
legs turned -- I'm not sure if it was a second healthy leg or the injured
leg. I do know, they operated a second time and it didn't take. The horse
probably was never going to stand on his own again. They decided he didn't
have the temperament to live the rest of his life restrained. 

	Barbaro is someone's "property" -- however, I can tell you that most
folks in this area take their horses seriously. They live better than you or
me. They receive better health care than you or me. Most owners here do not
put a horse down lightly. If nothing else, they are good for breeding.

	I don't know why you think this horse was mistreated after his
injury, but I can just about promise you -- if he was, it would be headliner
news here. 

	FWIW, I'm not a fan of horse racing, but Arthur -- I think you've
been misinformed. Also, I'd like to gently suggest that this topic is
inappropriate for this list. Perhaps you'd like to continue it on OT? I'm
not a moderator, but I know how these threads can take on a life of their
own.

The owner of Barbaro ought to be euthanized. This is the most disgusting
story I have read in some time. That sumbitch ought to be put down as a
threat to the horse population. 

I realize this is neither a hardware nor a software issue. Let's call it
wet-ware. Sorry, I just couldn't help but vent. That sumbitch ought to be
put down -- the owner to be buried or discarded in a similar fashion to
Barbaro. I need to go wretch. That sumbitch! To race Barbaro after an injury
indicates serious abuse. He ought never to be permitted to own another
horse, at the least! He ought to be imprisoned without parole.

He probably thinks that his animals are his property. He probably thinks his
children (assuming that any woman would be stupid enough to sleep with him)
are his property too.
