Hempfling - Dead Horses Everywhere - Urgent Appeal - When people become hunters

Citaat:Insights into a very dramatic development in the horse world. The handler imitates a predator and chases the horse until it is exhausted and gives up completely, this is for example also how the bushmen in Africa are able to catch their prey. As last resort and as only escape from the hunting, the horse is turning towards the person. At this point the horse is often mentally dead. Obviously it has nothing to do with understanding the horse, but unfortunately it is presented as such.

Citaat:...To look into the vacant eyes of a horse that has been subjected to this technique is to know there's some truth to these notions.
In plaats van fysiek mishand lijkt het erop dat het paard vandaag de dag steeds vaker mentaal wordt gebroken. En dit alles wordt verkocht als 'natuurlijk'. Ik denk dat het tijd wordt dat er eens echt wordt gekeken naar wat bepaalde stromingen binnen de paardenwereld doen.
