Just like your last post, I agree with you on this. I feel bad when I hear about strangers passing away mainly because I either empathize with their family's grief or I feel sorry that their life was cut short (which is how some people seem to be feeling about the horse).
Likewise, I feel bad when a [human] athlete gets injured his/her career is cut short because I know how hard they work and I know about all the emotions that are associated with sports. These athletes have goals and aspirations that can be cut short so quickly and it's sad to see when it does happen.
