Barbaro's Dead

Euthanized Today

I think my favorite comment on the whole ordeal was somone saying that Barbaro "Regrets that he only had one life to live for people to bet on."

Of course, if you've been following Deadspin's coverage of Barbaro, you know that the most... interesting part of this whole ordeal has been the reactions of the Barbaro fans, who are taking it rather... hard.

Tears run down my face as I type this. Barbaro was a true hero in my eyes. He fought so hard to live and my heart is broken that he could not complete that journey. God bless him and may he run heaven's fields as he ran them on this earth.

"It was his dreams to win the triple crown!"
"A happy horse, he suffers no more."
"Now, he belongs to the ages..."
"Pass the glue, please?"

Some dog food smells better than others. His kibbles will make great puppy chow!

OMG. I couldn't get past the first paragraph. "...he never lied to us."

Great! What about all the other animals that don't lie to us? Did that cow in my hamburger lie to me? Nope, and I ate him anyway.

Mr Ed lied. That's part of why they kept him alive.

Maybe someone should break it to these people that Barbaro was a horse.

Sure, let's kick them in the head when they're already down.

Well if they're already this upset about a famous horse dying, I don't think a good head kick'll really impair their judgment that much.

It's mildly entertaining killing horses in Gun. If you push them to hard, they just fall over.

No, they kept Mr Ed alive because he knew too much. Him lying was part of the bargain.
