I could never understand, cops hunting for the teenage boys and they weren't prosecuted. nowadays it would be all kinds of charges. the NO punishment was as horrible for me as being run down, tackled & dragged back. they lived in the area.
 
I feel like I'm missing something,was a post or two deleted?
 
At age of 11(early eighties), getting transplanted from Shanghai, China to the American Deep South(Athens, Georgia)

that and soy milk. Can't stand soy milk.

I can relate, when I was nine we moved from Belgium to the deep south, Montgomery AL in the early 80's. Quite a shock!

Thanks for sharing that Kelly. Sounds like You had a love of animals before that happened. Do you think that experience strengthened those feelings?

@ Max, I fear any animal larger than Myself, especially horses... This gif brought me terror when I first saw it.

I have seen a video of a horse biting and beating the crap out of a pitbull. It killed the dog. Pretty damn traumatizing.
 
When I was a kid the Nightmare on Elm Street movies scared me. I remember for a few weeks I was having nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night and then running to my parent's bedroom. Another was when I was 16 and I was with some idiots and we got in 2 accidents that same night like 10 mins apart from each other. The driver was drunk and speeding and this was in the mountains with narrow and windy roads. I kept telling him to slow down and he lost control and we almost flew off the road. When we stopped we were literally one tire off the cliff. I wanted to walk from there but the idiots with me were too wimpy saying it was too cold and too far to walk. Anyway, we got back in and the guy was speeding again. He was really belligerent and wouldn't listen and we lost control again. All I remember seeing was us going straight into the side of the mountain and it was a black out. As I was blacked out I felt the motions, I felt the car spinning and flipping around. Woke up with the car on its side and everyone was like pancakes on the bottom. I remember one of my friends was yelling and screaming about his arm so I climbed out as fast as I could. I thought he broke his arm but turns out his arm was in a bad position and he had the weight of like 2-3 people on him.

After that accident I decided to walk. After like 20 mins a car saw me (man and woman) and asked if I needed a ride and I said yes. I told them what happened and then they called the cops and took me home. So now whenever I am in cars I get nervous when people go over 80 MPH and drive reckless. Another thing that traumatized me was the Northridge earthquake. It was a 6.6 and even though my house did not get really messed up others did. Now I am so sensitive and scared about them. We have had some tiny ones over the years and even those freak me out. Sometimes at night I will be sitting and I start to feel something that feels like a tiny earthquake happening (or so I think), and my heart races. I get worried about big earthquakes hitting in the middle of the night when I am asleep. I worry about my house being destroyed and I have nothing but my underwear on.
 
very rare for horses to fully attack something that can prey upon them, like humans, dogs etc.
usually limited to self defense, feeling cornered, ill mannered stallions- especially near mares in heat, and true wild ones feeling trapped.
that horse in vid was an alpha horse keeping intruder out of the herd, physically behaving as horses do to each other. that man could not read horses body language at all. not his horses, no business going in there :-]
still unusual. but the horse could've been made to back off with almost anything in hand, like a stick or length of rope to swing.
 
When I was three years old I had to go to a hospital because they thought I had a tumor on my neck that had spread to my heart, turned out it wasn't but they still had to cut the bloody thing off and I just remember having the anesthesia mask put on my face and my mom squeezing my hand as I started screaming and crying. When the world has me down I just think about how lucky I am to be alive today
