That's surely not right. In many areas it would already have a bullet put through it's head. Bad enough attacking other animals naturally it will be a huge risk to adults and children. I don't know what directions the current officers are reading but it's clear the dictation is by somebody who...

As Leviathan and others have recommended there are a lot of very good films. Quite a few freely available on youtube at the moment. Ruffian and The Colt among them. In lieu of the more famous release of Warhorse, I find the highly underrated The Colt to be a particularly wonderful film amongst...

Hints are a vengeful reaction to a domestic dispute. What a horrible selfish act. May they eternally be ashamed of themselves. They certainly will pay if they are given a prison sentence (though it be sadly unlikely), word gets around what he done he would get well deserved either there or...

Having dealt with forums for a long while I hope it helps you to know there are plenty of sad people who forget they are actually sitting their bums on a chair tapping on a keyboard trying to dominate others. Please pay no attention, they simply need to get out more. No person should feel so...

I understand where you come from. I've dealt with several incidents where loose dogs have been hit by a vehicle near my home. A few sideswipes, one broken leg but thankfully nothing fatal for them. Respectfully removed a poor cat before it was turned to mush and still would punch the daylights...

Agreed about the time, what an awful scenario to be in. It's gruesome I know but it may be some comfort to some. I think it obvious he died within a few seconds of his head touching the ground. As many of you well know the thrashing very shortly after a reaction of blood loss/brain death, he...

Precisely where have I been wrong? I saw Echo Bravo’s post and, being a long time forum user who dabbles in psychology (or basic common sense, really), gave her the benefit of the doubt until she posted yet another nasty and cocky response. I even took into account that she, according to another...

If that's the case they have had plenty of time to settle themselves. I've lost people I loved as well as pets I cared about deeply. Many others here have too, I'm sure. Funnily enough, as with most, I don't log online and have a go at strangers on the internet. If she was indeed out of sorts...

Having read through some of your recent posts I really got the impression you were a knowledgeable horsewoman. I was mistaken. You really should know better, this is the kind of stuff trolls make up. You have the audacity to speak of the horse as nothing but an insurance payout. The further...

Please, please nobody feel guilty for unfriending or blocking such groups/sites, whatever. Any responsible charity genuinely committed to helping would not use distressing images to promote their cause, be it random animal or specific human. This is manipulative exploitation, as has already been...

Agree with indiat (and SJcrazee!). : ) I think perhaps you already know yourself the sensible thing to do despite liking the horse so much?

Thinking of his family and friends. A man true to himself and true to others. Though his loss is terribly sad I think it wonderful he watched his son bring on Ballabriggs to win the National. The show goes on. Rest in peace, sir.

And just to lighten the mood; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRmxcASjR5s&list=FLNoLFOUrRPR5_GpAJQandBg&index=70

And horrific too the treatment of Chinese female babies and the ongoing burning alive of women, children and sometimes even men in parts of Africa when they are accused of witchcraft, female genital mutilation, the butchery of wars... Like I said, I only happened upon this thread, saw and...
