Black Beauty
Saw this in the news today ...
Cartagena's iconic horse carriages give way to electric buggies
The article gives the perspectives of the cart owners and also animal rights groups who are at odds. The story reminded me of one of the first books I remember reading as a kid, that really had an effect on me ... Black Beauty.
It's because of books like this that I became a vegetarian. How we treat those who are powerless really says a lot about us.

I remember reading Black Beauty too, when I was a kid.
My grandma had a book called Pussy Meow that had been given to her as a child. The narrators were a family of cats. It was meant to teach children to be kind to animals.
Yeah, I read those kind of books then too. I remember one called "Lad, A Dog" about a collie.
