Barbaro was a horse that either won the Preakness or was the favorite to… I forget. Either way, the horse shattered its leg during the race and they spent thousands of dollars trying to rehabilitate the horse only to have to put it down because it was suffering. (its my understanding that if a horse breaks its leg its something very close to a death sentence) Also, there are mercy killings by doctors nowadays for people at the person’s own election for terminal patients… I don’t consider euthanasia cruel. I actually wish it was more readily available for people that desire it.
