Good Idea, I'll be looking for it.

Thanks for your post, MMSC...as always, you bring to light a side of the game that sometimes is overlooked. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that the animals involved are living, breathing beings as well, and have feelings like anyone else.
Not to mention, they are so easy to get attached to!

Thanks again, sad to see the losses, but important to remember as well.

While walking my dog today, she ran down a frog and tore the living sh#t out of it...the damn frog's eyes popped right out of it's head.

Please add the frog to your list of dead animals.

I agree.


Also we should add football programs which were finally put to rest and are now dead and buried for years.

Good bye Notre Dame Football......is a pleasure to see you have a horrendous year.

You left Stonegossarse off your list.

Or don't you wish to remember him?

There are many here, including links to web articles on most of them. On this list, unlike some of the others on the web, all have been verified.

You know, this is what makes the world go round, and message boards work.....some people stand on soap boxes, some of them disingenuously, and some not, and others call them out for it.

I just hope every single person who has applauded this thread has also donated to horse rescue organizations. My guess is some haven't. I do, however, know that at least one person who finds this thread insultingly ridiculous has done what he could for this situation.

We get it, MissStormCat cares about every race horse that dies annually, even though my guess is she knows little to nothing about many of them, or even necessarily how or why they perished. That's great....that's her thing on this and other websites. However, how many times do we need to be reminded of this? Some of us think it is less often than we actually are....some don't. Once again that's what makes the world go round. But that doesn't mean dissenters have to keep their mouths shut......haven't we honestly heard enough of this sh it from the person who has destroyed this once great country of ours?

NoChanceToDance 12-23-2007 07:16 PM

You bring so much class to this forum, BTW.

At a guess, I'd say that more than half of this entire forum donate to horse rescue centres and so forth. I know I do, and I also know several others (who have posted in this thread) who do, too.

You're not on the high ground just because you do. However, I am glad that you support these equine related charities. Maybe you're not as cold as I once thought.

Is it wrong that some of us choose to remember, is it wrong that some people (yourself included) prefer not to, well, not in this way?

What I do find irritating and rather childish is the lack of respect and the sarcasm that appear in these threads. Always from the same one or two, I must add.

You call this sh!t, that maybe your opinion and you're entitled to it. Just like I am entitled to say I find your posts dull, I find your posts dull.... sorry, I'm repeating myself. I've learnt that trick from you, ya see.

Why can't you lay off, just once. Just for christmas? That would be the polite thing to do instead of going around slagging people off because they don't know quite as much as your oh so high and mighty self.

.....and before I get messages shoved down my throat saying "do you know who he is"....... no, I don't, why should I care.

Thank you for your time.

A frog is a living species.

It Died.


It should be on her list no?





My my poor little froggy friend hop with angels.
