I don't see that anyone here put the death of this horse on a level with or higher than the death of a human being.

Is it tragic when a human being loses his life? Absolutely. Does the death of an animal compare to the death of a human being? Of course not. However that does not mean that a person cannot be sad and mourn the death of an animal.

I just don't understand the implication here that some have put the death of this horse as being more sad or tragic than the death of a human being.

What's wrong with having compassion for an animal?

Just because I may show compassion or sadness for the loss of an animal does not neccesarily mean that I hold that animal higher than a human life.
