Barbaro = load of crap

It's a beautiful animal that the super-duper rich owners are trying desperately to save.

It's not costing the tax-payers any money, so who gives a shit if they're trying to keep it alive?

That said, this back-and-forth from good health to death's door and back seems a tad vexing.

 

As if Hezbollah and Israel being assholes weren't enough, now it's those degenerate motherfuckers who are trying to save Barbaro!  Flay their gunts and fupas, I say!

 

Yea, his owners are really hard up for cash.

 

The photos which ran yesterday, and the AP story, indicate Barbaro is not in severe pain, at least not at the moment.

If there is a way he can be kept alive and recover to live at least decently pain-free, maybe it will teach vets ways to keep other horses who maybe aren't multi-million-dollar thoroughbred studs alive too. It isn't costing tax money to do it, so why not?

If Barbaro has to be put down, it won't reduce me to sobbing mush, but it will be a sad moment. I'd like to think somebody at least had the kindness to try.

 

Remember when they took old Boxer to the knacker's?
One of the saddest animal moments in literature, outside of Old Yeller.

 

Some animals are more equal than others.

 

Why does everyone think this horse can't stand at stud... There is artifical insemination (sp.) unless they have to actually climb up on something, things can be taken care of by those that "manuly masturbate caged animals for artifical insemination" [/ladyfromClerks].

Sorry for the post, it is quite late.

 

I believe that in order for a colt to be registered, the stallion has to be able to cover the mare. Therefore, nobody's gonna pay the oodles and oodles of cash for semen from a horse, which is why he needs to be able to stand at stud.

 

Sirs, Madames,

Bill Frist would probably have Terry Schiavo riding Barbaro in the Breeders' Cup. (The Vegetative Stakes?)

What are the odds that Barbaro's life hangs in the balance the day before the obit for a star of They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

This horse ain't breeding, ever. (Horses spawned by artificial insemination can't get registered. I guess there's too much room for fraud.) If he can live at a a petting zoo, I'm all for it. One part of me says that he earned the best medical attention, but then again we all deserve every shot. The Barabaro Story: The Four-Year-Old Virgin.

Post of the year.

 

They'll give Barbaro some equine pornos to watch, like "The Black Stallion Does Grayson."

Then no one will have to manually beat him off.

 

Given what gas prices are gonna be by Labor Day, getting as much money as anyone can get I'm all for.
