Dude, try this stuff, dude. WAIT! Stable boy’s coming.
For a while now, The National has had its own Flickr page where they post photos taken while pursuing a TV news story. In preparation for its outstanding series No Country for Horses, a CBC photographer shot this picture of a horse, who would be dispatched shortly.
The caption reads:“Fear filled eyes waiting in slaughter pen.”
Really? To me, this horse’s face and eyes are saying “Holy crap, Dave, that s**t was awesome, dude! Hook me up again k?” more than it seems to be fearful of a looming death.

Perhaps if you’ve never seen a horse before, you think that terrified horses will hold still while their photos are taken.
Yeah, horses are definitely known for standing around when they are filled with fear.
Thanks for dispelling the rumour that cbc management has ANY control over the content of this blog, with this brilliant post. Poking fun at slaughterhouse animals requires a special sense of humour. If not management, then perhaps the influence of psychoactive drugs played a role in your decision to share your thoughts on animal abuse.
HA! Horses smoking dope. HA!
Dude, you should be writing for The Hour.
As cartoonists have long known: Anthropomorphism can be fun!
It’s sad that this horse just doesn’t know the fact that, fairly shortly, he’ll become the ‘infamous’ PVA glue used by our good friend Neil Buchanan on Art Attack… It’s too bad… I think he was just concerned about that little bit of schmutz hanging off his nose…
