Will a horse commit suicide?

I guess it depends on the level of their training. Fully trained horses will most likely stop at the edge of the cliff, while the rider flies off haha.

Yes.\n\nCatholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.\n\nThere are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. \n\nWhile suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish. \n\nTherefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin. \n\nWe are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.\n\nWith love in Christ.

When wild horses grow too much hoof, they head for rocky ground to chafe it away.\n\nThink about it.

There was a tragic accident yesterday.A blonde was riding a horse when it started going REALLY fast.She couldn't hold on any longer and fell,but her foot got caught in the stirrup,and she dragged on the ground with the horse still charging at top speed.She would've died,but luckily the store manager Jerry unplugged the machine.

In and of itself, barrel racing is not abusive, unfortunatly there are cases of abuse in every disipline, either because people don't care or people are ignorent.  You obviously care and take measures to protect your horse.  You can tell if your unconsiously abusing your horse with 100%  accuracy by asking yourself the following questions:\nDoes is my horse happy to see me?\nDoes my horse accept the saddle and bridle without too much fuss?\nDoes she react positvly to starting/ending a run?\nDo I try to learn as much about horse care as I can and try to do what I think is best for her?\nIf you answered 4 yeses, then your definatly good to go.  If not, you may want to investigate things like saddle fit and the way you ride.  Horses don't lie.  They really don't, if your girl is happy to do her job, then she's not being abused.

Okay.... just in case this is real.... I too hope your pee pee rots off. The Bible has a lot of bad things to say about goats so probably. Sheep on the other hand should be safe enough. Horses might kill ya. (Seriously that happened not that long ago in Washington State.) Stick to sheep and other "kosher" animals and you should be safe.

I think it is not that BArbaro can't live, it is that he is worthless now for his purpose to race, so his owner's will have him put down, so they can invest their money on another horse that IS able to race and make them money.\n\nThey perhaps will use him to have another horse with if they can find a suitable mare for him, at least he is good for fathering a good racing horse, we hope, for his sake.\n\nYes, a horses leg can heal like any other animal's bones, but keeping him immobilized for healing to occur is costly.

They do not always kill injured racehorses.  It all depends on the owners, and whether or not it would be worth more to keep them alive or not.  Look at Barbaro, they are trying to salvage him for stud by fusing the joints in his ankle.  And I personally have seen a few other race horses that were injured but not put down.  Some people donate their horses to retirement foundations, such as the Standardbred Retirement Foundation.  These horses are then taken care of and put up for adoption, to which there is a lengthy process because they screen every applicant to make sure the horse is getting the best care.

Probably not, but it depends on whether or not it was given approval from the ASPCA. They watch over movies where animals are concerned and won't give approval if any animal is harmed during the filming.

Horses weigh 2000 pounds.  Their ankles (where most breaks occur) and lower legs are as thin or thinner than ours.\nThat is one reason.\nThe second reason is that in order for a bone to heal properly it has to be stayed off of.  Horses are unable to stay off a leg for the length of time it takes to heal a bone.  So they would end up breaking it over and over again.  Thus, when a break is too extreme, the horse is put down.

only if you commit suicide

It is metaphorical not to be taken literal. All of the horses of the apocolypse are. They represent something, John had saw them in a vision, so yes I could say we believe in the horse of death, but dont actually believe a pale horse is going to come leaping down from the sky and kill millions of people. If you havnt hear of this it is found in the final book of the bible, Revelation. The horse of death could represent many things, from diseases, natural disasters, and almost anything else that kills people.

It sounds like his surgery was successful but the vet said it is still 50 50 whether or not he will survive because there are so many things that can go wrong after surgeries on large animals.\n\nThey want to save him for breeding purposes but most horses would have been put down after that type of injury because of the tremendous cost involved.\n\nIt's only the top horses like Barbaro that they will even try to save.\n\nI hope he will make it.

Hmm. Maybe they do, but I'd be nervous to be a horse.  It seems like the recommended remedy for a long list of horse ailments is to shoot the horse in the head.

you should go to a conselor (sp?) i've tried to kill myself a couple times but my conselor convinced me that i'm needed to help animals and if i kill myself all these poor animals will die cuz i won't be there to save them (animals are my passion) also i got prozac. it's really good for depression.

He isn't going to commit suicide.  I've heard the same thing over and over and over.  I have always heard that if someone is really going to commit suicide they aren't going to call and tell you, they are just going to do it.
