yes but they can stop and take a break when they get to tired, or drink when they want. A horse cant do this.

this is the point i was trying to make...if its bad for horses, then its just as bad, if not worse for the people in the same area as the horses

"According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of 384 people die from heat every year. This is more than the deaths caused by floods (135), lightning (85), tornadoes (73), and hurricanes (25) combined. Heat can be especially deadly in large urban areas that can become heat islands. Brick buildings, asphalt streets, and tar roofs store heat and radiate is like a slow burning furnace. Temperatures can be several degrees hotter in the city than in nearby suburbs and rural areas. In these situations, the elderly, infants, and young children, and people with chronic health problems are most at risk."

I'm not seeing your point, horses aren't choosing to do this job and live in these conditions. They don't have medical care, and the resources that humans can turn to. They can't say no...
 
lol u know on south park, peta members marry animals. they had a little town in the middle of the woods or something

Man I love percherons, and horses in general used to keep retired racers.

That aside I live right near Lancaster county home of hand churned butter and stylin' beards. How will that delicious butter and those curtains of facial hair getr to me if there are no employed horses.
 
PETA arent game or committed enough to take up causes like stopping illegal japanese whaling so they waste their time on petty issues like this

long live the sea shepard btw

Your right we should let an introduced species roam the country side and be shot by ranchers whos land the horses would graze on. If make it illegal to ride horses or use them for labor they need to be completly shipped out of the country. Because without these uses they are another invasive pest no diffrent from a rat. Having said that they do deserve better working conditions and forced retirement.

What a bunch of tools. Id hate to see what they think about the KY Derby and horse racing in general. Id bet theyd poop a brick if they see a horse break its leg and then its killed on the spot!

And you must think that horses evolved so that we can run them fast in circles...humans I swear think they own everything.
