Well, well, well, a few high profile problems and the politicians want to get to the bottom of this issue. They, Congress, in all likelyhood, just have a few friends that need a job. Lets face it people, if an NFL player goes numb, or breaks a bone from a hard hit...he goes to the hospital and hopefully all is okay; or is treated as diagnosed. A horse, as I understand, can't continue on in life with a broken bone, or whatever the call with Barbaro and Belles Eight. Yes, not a pleasant issue, but everything is done to make the mishap as humane as possible. Go home Congress, we have far greater issues that have far greater problems. This is not an issue of animal cruelity.
