Stranded Horses

[RJRMINIS]

[SIZE=12pt]I received this email today, thought I would pass it on........[/SIZE] [SIZE=12pt]Did you hear about the horses that were trapped for 3 days on a tiny piece of land in wind and rain in the Netherlands?[/SIZE]

Apparently it had the nation mesmerized, watching about 100 horses huddle against the wind and having to watch 18 of them die.

First firemen, then the Dutch army tried to rescue them - both unsuccessfully.

So 4 WOMEN on horseback rode out to the rescue.[SIZE=12pt]Here's a video of it:[/SIZE]

It is a pretty neat video, and I hate to be the party pooper here.......BUT....I read an article that said those horses were/are all slaughterbound. That is what the owner was raising them for, and why he didn't rescue them himself. They were only a commodity. :no: Sad, huh?
