I totally agree with Jack!

Well said, Jack. Society has turned our morals upside down. When is the life of a child less important than that of a horse or any animal that we choose to make our "soap box" of the week? I'm not thrilled with the idea of slaugtering horses, but who is willing to make up the difference now in their budget? Will you Marjorie?

Here we have a group of people who are trying to take care of some kids that we as an sophisticated society/government/etc. refuse to care for. Why do we refuse to care for them? Because it costs us time/money/resources that we have, but are unwilling to part with due to our greed. Now remember, these people are caring for our thrown away kids. To fund this effort they take donations of all sorts, and in this case they accepted horses. Some organizations take cars, what do you expect they do with those? Keep them all? No, they keep the best ones to serve their purposes and sell the others at auction to fund the efforts of their cause, and I don't care what they due with my thrown away cars, I just want them to care for my thrown away kids. In this case, we have donated (or thrown away) horses, and for a nice tax write off I would guess due to my greed. Like any smart consumer, they kept the best for themselves to serve the purposes they need and sell the rest at auction to try to offset the expenses of caring for our thrown away kids. The irony of the whole situation is we now have an uproar over a thrown away horses, that we were greedily granted a hefty tax write-off for and not what we should be in uproar over which is the thrown away kids. If you give a care about the horses over the kids, then you have a messed up view of the world, you greedy scum. And scum on the person/reporter who threw these people under the bus over the horses and not seeing the fact that they are taking care of our thrown away kids.
