Letters The lies flow Published in the TIMES HERALD RECORD
www.th-record.com 6/6/06: Of course racehorses would rather die than not run ("Barbaro deserves to
be remembered" Times Herald Record 5/23). All animals prefer to be
exploited, as we're frequently reminded: Circus elephants love to stand on
their heads (it's perfectly natural behavior for them), rodeo animals love
being yanked, dragged by ropes having their heads twisted and straps cinched
by their genitals to make them "buck" (at least they're not in the
slaughterhouse!) ... even pit bulls can't wait to fight each other
(especially the ones I saw being thrown at each other by "humans,"
especially the one with his jaw ripped off who had to be euthanized ...
especially the one dying in a pool of blood while the "humans" cooked
dinner). I could go on and on. We've heard every single rationalization in the
book. As long as "humans" want to assuage their guilt over the vicious way
they treat other living beings, the lies will flow like water. Folks, please
use your brains to intelligently assess the claims of the Record and other
animal abusers who have a vested interest in keeping things status quo. Kiley Blackman Fair Use Notice: This document may contain
