Barbaro was euthanized.

And, look, you can be sad about this if you want. But all I'm saying is this:

The AP obituary of Barbaro, as reported by cnn.com: 1778 words.

cnn.com's obituary of Rosa Parks: 970 words.

It's sad. But he was just a racehorse.

Rosa Park's obituary should've been longer . . .

And yes, he was just a horse . . . but I'm still heartbroken. Seeing an animal suffer always breaks my heart. And I probably would've accepted this a lot more easily if he'd been put down when he first broke his leg so many months ago . . . the euthanization now is just a painful reminder of everything that poor animal endured up to this point and it kills me a little bit inside when something so beautiful and so helpless is reduced to such conditions.
