He could wear a 10 gallon Stetson...filled with 10 gallons of liquid oxygen, perhaps.

Sure, it's already filled with 10 gallons of air. ;)

You're mistaking that heavy duty cylinder on his shoulders as a high pressure cylinder instead of the high vacuum cylinder that it is.

I love how people ripped on the Muslims for killing animals and eating them, but no one seems that bent out of shape about a horse being forcibly led through a bonfire. :eyebrow:

It's not gross looking. In fact, it looks sort of cool.

I wonder how they choose the horse, or if it's the same one every year?

I agree--I think it's awful. The horse looks terrified, and he obviously wouldn't be doing this of his own free will. If this had taken place in the US somebody would be facing charges.

that's because we know that muslims are just filty animals, not real people. it wouldn't do to rip on people that are "like us" now would it?

*thick sarcasm*

Obviously the Spaniards don't have de la PETA-ello......... :worried:

So you're all saying that's a real/live horse?

That's because he/she is not being injured and will have great stories to tell at the stable. Kind of like skydiving or bungee jumping. :biggrin:

I dunno...when I put my hand really close to fire it's not very comfortable. I don't believe horses enjoy walking through big-ass flames. :flamer:

I believe your right, but I don't think the horse was injured and that's the big difference. :biggrin:

Maybe not, but just terrified as all hell. And wasn't there a good chance that the horse could have been injured?

I'm glad the horse wasn't injured, but it was put into a situation where it could very well have been seriously injured. Also like garnet said I'm sure the horse was pissing-in-its-pants terrified. Now I'm neither a PETA member nor Muslim, I just think people are quick to cast stones at barbaric acts of other cultures but are blind to their own culture's faults (I know I do this all the time). Not to say it's done intentionally, I think it just speaks about human nature.
