Re: Horse owner pleads guilty to animal cruelty

The "description" is what I think is funny....that its a pole with a chain
at the end used to settle down horses who
are acting up.......Hmmmm, now to a non-horse person who never saw a twitch
or knew anything about its use, just
read that description, it would seem to me that they would think that that
is what your SUPPOSED to do with it.....beat them when theyre acting up! a
pole with a chain on it.....kinda sounds like something from a torture
chamber!!! and, even if
you try to describe the actual use to someone who doesnt know horses, it
would STILL sound violent......"put the chain over his top lip and twist it"
