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.

Kepp in mind, by the time Rosa Parks died everyone who wasn't living under a rock, and most of the rocks, knew her story. If you don't follow horse racing or weren't local most people probably didn't know the story of the brave racehose.

I agree, Rosa Parks probably should have been longer but Barbaro's story was well worth this tribute., if not for the horse himself, for his owners, doctors and thousands of well wishers and fans.
