"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, remain neutral"

- Dante

One of my favorite movies is "In Pursuit of Honor" from 1995 which is based on a true story of U.S. Cavalry soldiers who are ordered to slaughter 500 horses when the military upgrades to tanks. Rather than kill the horses, the men mutiny and make a desperate drive for the border of Canada.

While the facts of the movie are being debated, there is no debate over the morale of the story. Horses have a special place in humans' hearts and we owe it to them and to us to give them respect and an honorable death they so deserve.
