Barbaromania Must End Now

Dear America,

I know you are upset about Barbaro breaking his horse leg. I know you feel you have to write him letters and send him e-mail to wish him luck in recovery. I know you have some sick animal-human lust thing going on. But COME ON, HE IS A HORSE. Why is there such an outpouring of emotion over a horse? For one thing, horses can't read, so the whole letters thing is a waste of paper and trees. Horses also can't understand English or think coherently and probably can't feel all the "love" people are sending him. I don't advocate animals dying or suffering, but I'd rather have a horse die than Albert Pujols. And don't we put to death a race horse everyday or something like that? Seriously, a horse everyday is turned into a bottle of Elmer's Glue. People only care about this horse because if it dies it can't mate and have million dollar kids. Or they care because they don't get out much. Let me sum up my ideas as simply as possible: Barbaro= Horse. Barbaro= Non Human. See people, find something else to do with your time other than writing letters to horses. Letters are....for P-E-O-P-L-E.

Sincerely, A Normal Human Being
