Liam Neeson Ready To Move In With Horses: 5 Star Stable
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 26th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.
When non veg celebs have word wars with veg ones, things can get ugly.
The latest heated debate is between Liam Neeson and several celebrities often involved with animal rights causes, like Chrissie Hynde and Alec Baldwin.
Hynde, Baldwin, and others have launched a protest against the horse-drawn carriage industry in New York, claiming the horses are mistreated, due to the long trips they make pulling heavy loads, cold and frigid weather conditions, and everyday spooks that are encountered from traffic.
Liam thinks all this is nonsense and equates the horse stables to the Hilton, in more or less words.
“Seriously. If you’ve ever seen these stables… I’d move in tomorrow,” he said.
A comment like this obviously angered PETA officials, who responded by saying:
“Liam, maybe you’re right, let me ponder this for a moment… It does seem like horses would prefer to endure the freezing cold and the panicky booms, noisy traffic, and exhaust fumes of the city over living in a lush pasture.”
“And you’re right, they probably much prefer the whips, shouting, heavy gear, traces, and lack of water in the troughs as well as the long shifts trudging for hours and pulling strangers in a half-mile circle all day without rest over living a natural life. Makes sense, right?”
There are documented cases of accidents and injury, both to the horse and human, in the industry. Has anyone out there had extensive experience with the horse drawn carriage industry? Do you feel horses are treated appropriately? Have you witnessed abuse and injury to the animals? Give us your thoughts!
