I got wrapped-up in the story of that horse, and was very saddened to hear that he could not be saved. He deserved to live out his days eating hay and just relaxing, or whatever horses like to do.

"Just a horse"? Horses are great animals, and humans get very attached to them. Been going on for centuries. Some people just think of animals as *****, though, I guess we got one of that kind here.
