The Amish Keep to Themselves. And They're Hiding a Horrifying Secret

3. Not surprised by this.

I know that people around here who live on farms, care for their critters, do not like what they see. The horses are worn to a thin, dead eyed frazzle then sent to the killer barns where the good souls who do this work buy them and rehab them if they can. Rehab seems to be particularly hard on those horses.

When I heard about this I was stunned that they treated their horses that way. I will never be stunned, sad but never surprised, at how women and children are treated. Hell, never stunned about the way they are treated anywhere but the horses are used for so much you would think they would at least value them. I guess you can mistreat and beat anything into submission after a while and no escape.
