"My horse fights with me and fasts with me, because if he is to carry me in battle he must know my heart and I must know his or we shall never become brothers. I have been told that the white man, who is almost god, and yet a great fool, does not believe the horse has a spirit. This cannot be true. I have many times seen my horse's soul in his eyes." Chief Plenty Coups To any human that has looked into an animals eyes and seen the compassion that they have for living, for happiness, for rage, and for pain or fear these are emotions of the soul. To senselessly propogate the slaughter of any species because it is too much trouble to fool with is MURDER. When there are no more beautiful creatures left to slaughter will the politicians decide that your elderly, sick, or deformed are to be wiped out for reasons of political or economic burden? This is in response to a posting by a dear friend,Netsia, called Wild Horse Slaughter, and little sister I hope the Patriot Act people are watching maybe they'll learn something;) Awanyanka Ina Maka (Protect Mother Earth)
