I travelled throughout romania and was amazed by the use of equine power.So many farmers were using horses. The way I saw the problems, was lack of experience. I saw carts laden so heavy that the back end lifted the horse off the ground, and the driver beating the horse. I saw a horse down and driver beating it to make it get up when it was clear that the horse was near death. The horse stock was very poor. Mere ponies. Larger horses eat more. It is a cultural divide. Out west, (here in California), pedestrians and horses have the right of way, because of our laws. Common law relies on precedent, while Napoleonic Law is by its nature authocratic and most often devoid of common sense. We are a horse culture; we like and respect the horse. We have progressed to a point where we respect the life and rights of the defenseless, while after 60 years of Communist domination, there is no respect for anything, not for human beings, and certainly not for animals.

In reply to Zdenka Petrickova. you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. i've lived in romanian and i've been around people that had horses. horses are one of the most valued livestock and majority of the time well taken care of

Dear I. & Zdenka

I did look at your shelters pictures but u did forget to mention that those horses mostly are taken by the police from gypsies which are not farmers as Andrei was mentioning, gypsies are worse then animals. well anyway i do believe no1 has the right to hurt any1s culture coz as Andrei was saying everywhere u will see such people who treats their horses or pets in bad condition and no1 mentioned England about their treat of animals so why do they have even animal police?? well animal shelter u will see everywhere in any country just look around u and u will see it so no need to go and talk about other countries. everywhere u will see bad people killing and beatting animals and it is very sad and not good.

In reply to Andrei.

Dear Andrei ,
Starting a reply by using foul and abusive language doesn’t really help you or anybody and only helps to reinforce peoples often wrongly placed prejudices about your country ,
I have lived here for 18 years , in Romania and worked in many other countries with Horses , yes you are right a lot of romanian peasants take great care and pride in their horses and others don’t , I for one saw terrible cruelty against horses in Spain and also here two , just go to a horse fair and watch how they beat and kick the horses , but please try and be a bit more polite and intelligent and remember this country needs ambassadors,not more insulting bad manners , sorry to have to inform you dar am fost un pic rusine cind am citit replyul tau , scuza ma ,
