I agree totally about the people who are sending cards to a horse, especially a dead one. Sending cards to ANYONE you don't know personally is a little loony to me. There are exceptions of course, like a wounded soldier who needs to be thanked and prayed for to survive...but when people send cards to athletes or celebrities just to feel good and pretend they're connected to the person in some way, that's not normal.

I was actually pulling for Barbaro to make it. I did feel bad about his injury because I do care about animals...but still, in he was still just an animal. Yes, he was a "fighter" and it was a nice story in terms of medical advancements and making the most of out of a bad situation. We don't need to treat him like a human and we should not be more concerned or upset at his death than we would be a human.
