HBO Just Loves Killing Horses All The Time, Which Is Fine

Apart from when man is rightly making them work, horses are pretty pointless. They defecate, lift up their rubbery lips to show-off their disgusting, stinking gums and have to be killed if they fall over.

Honestly. Horses are stupid and only a posho would disagree (mainly because of vague sentimentality from when they were a spoiled little so-and-so who had a daddy rich enough to buy them horse riding lessons).

And so, hats-off to The World's Most Credible Television Production House In The Universe (c/o Guardian readers), HBO, for killing a bunch of horses in the name of entertainment. If any horses are reading this and feel offended by it, feel free to invent a keyboard that accommodates your clunking hooves and send us an email.

You probably don't know that HBO has a show called 'Luck', because no-one ever watches HBO shows, preferring to simply say that they do. That goes for The Wire as well (the most overrated TV show in history). 'Luck' is about horses and how they race each other with small men strapped to their backs.

Sounds amazing, obviously. It's probably the best thing since the theory of evolution or when someone dressed a dog in human clothes for the first time.

Anyway, three whole horses are now dead thanks to Luck. Feel free to shout "IRONIC, EH?!" This has seen filming suspended why they try and work out what to do about it or (or, maybe, find more efficient ways of killing horses).

The first two horses were killed after being injured during racing scenes, and the latest one was more of a bizarre accident.

The 5-year-old thoroughbred was deemed sound by a licensed veterinarian, however,  during a walk through the barn, the horse began prancing, reared up on her hind legs, fell back and hit its stupid head. The injury was so severe that the animal had to be euthanized.

Do they still do it with bolt guns or is that just in our imagination?

HBO said in a statement:

"From the very outset of this project, the safety of the animals was of paramount concern to us. Everyone associated with Luck cares deeply about the well-being of the horses who are so much a part of the heart and soul of the production."

During the statement, it is believe that a further six horses died, five of boredom and one through being skinned and tanned, so the statement HBO read could be printed on it.

And during the last sentence, another three HBO horses have died. This is getting silly now. Thank god horses aren't in any way useful anymore.
