So, look I don’t mean to come off like an insensitive jerk here, but if I read one more account of the “heroic” Barbaro, I think I’m going to scream. Yes, he won the Kentucky Derby and he was a brave horse in his fight to live and after breaking down at the Preakness. But, my G-d, he was a product of the horse breeding industry, an animal bred to make his owners a profit. How about these three names? Know who they are? Emi Elmaliah, Michael Ben Sa’adon, Israel Zamolloa. They were three Israelis whose lives abruptly came to an end last month when a homicidal maniac blew himself and these there innocents up in an Eilat bakery. And yet, while we could probably find that Barbara dined on a hefty diet of special oats and hay, we’d… read more

Barbaro drew national and international interest for two reasons; being a very successful horse in the sport of horseracing for the sports fan, and being a magnificently beautiful horse in the spotlight for the people that are animal lovers.  But is also is a story of interest to people because of the effort to rehabilate and save him.  Millions saw him gallup to glory in the Kentucky Derby and shocked viewers when he pulled up lame in the Preakness.  Unfortunately, people that die tragically like those who are killed in war, people (not animals) that have suffered, do not receive the attention that an animal—Barbaro—has received.  Sadly, those tragic situations are far more commonplace while Barbaro’s is a unique story -and like it or not, is a human interest story.  You may also compare this to someone who knows all the ballplayers or movie stars, but cannot name one person over the past five years that has won a Nobel Peace Prize.
