Wanna beat a dead horse?
How about those half-dead horses? Blur-horses? Old horses? retired Studs?, etc :dunno:
Would you beat a half-dead dog? Cat? Person? Come on, that's still cruelty.
Animal haters stay away from this thread. We are only talking about beating dead-horses here, not live ones. Moreover, it would be difficult to beat a live horse since they could run away.
