That "horse on the highway" thing here in Chicago the other day seemed funny at the time, but it was profound animal cruelty. They& #39;re probably going to have to euthanize the horse because of what the rider (who was performing an activist stunt) did to it. https://news.wttw.com/2020/09/23/prosecutors-horse-ridden-dreadhead-cowboy-dan-ryan-may-not-survive">https://news.wttw.com/2020/09/2...

I know as much about riding horses as I do about shooting guns (you don& #39;t get to do a lot of either here in downtown Chicago, at least not as a law-abiding citizen), so I didn& #39;t realize that taking a horse over concrete is actually profoundly damaging for it. The rider did tho& #39;.

This personally upsets me in a way I would not have predicted.

I was upset. Now I& #39;m outright angry. https://news.wttw.com/2020/09/24/dreadhead-cowboy-speaks-out-after-criminal-charges-filed-dan-ryan-protest">https://news.wttw.com/2020/09/2...

Bruh you did not seriously just try the "yes I abused this beautiful innocent creature to the point of death but what other people do elsewhere is worse so really I& #39;m innocent when you think about it" gambit, did you? Oh yes, you did.

As predictable as the sun rising, I am now getting "but what about Trump??!?" responses in this thread. Which...wow, social media either deranges people or provides exposure to the worst people, and I& #39;m still not sure which.
