a word about the movie war horse… read “all Quite on the Western Front” to find out what really happened to the horses in WWI

I have read statistics and stories of the horrors endured by horses during the Civil War. They were slaughtered by the thousands. Mules generally were too smart to go to the front. They mainly were used behind the lines, pulling wagonloads of supplies and wounded.

Are you sure they’re “philosophical” differences :)Seemed to always be about territory or “food” (i.e. resources) to me and—occasionally mating rites (anyone read about the Trojan War) :)

Humans invented politics, conspicuous consumerism, texting while you drive, and pet rocks. Why shouldn’t the rest of the animal kingdom (and a lot of the plant kingdom) look down on us?

Some orders should never be followed. Horses and dogs from past and present wars deserved better. The men that had to follow those orders deserved better too.

December 1914, but it didn’t happen over a raccoon, it happened over Christmas!

War is not good for children or other living things, including horses, dogs, raccoons, or even the birds we think can fly away.
