Dead Horse


Just been driving up Coast Road, Wallsend way & the police have got a lane blocked off. Expected a car with a crumpled front, but there’s a fully grown horse lying in the outside lane. Looked like a horse & cart type, so not sure if someone’s used that road for transport, which would be mental, or if it’s possibly escaped after wind damage to stables. Dinnar.

Anyway, it was grim.

More stories to brighten up your weekend this time next week.
 
Saw one in Hartlepool last summer where a car had clattered a horse and cart at a junction. I've never really been around horses but they are majestic creatures and I felt a real sense of sadness.
 
Is there really any need to show the poor horse lying dead in the road when you open the article. Animals deserve just as much dignity in death.
For human sensibilities i wouldnt show it . I dont think dignity in death is a horse concept though somehow
