@KjemalKyle We pretty much did from that point, bar a few very well-cared-for ceremonial horses. Tanks and all that.
@KjemalKyle And I'll bet you every man there was mourning for an equine companion. Human-animal bond can be very close.

@KjemalKyle Yup. At the same time, look at the continuing, and good, use of working animals, not just pets.
@KjemalKyle I have the privilege of knowing a couple of police dogs when they're "off duty", wonderful animals.
@KjemalKyle Wars suck, full stop. As humans, intertwined with animals as we are (hey, they helped drag us this far) we involve them. :(
