Tragic Turn: Horse Collapses from Exhaustion While Pulling Carriage – Man Strikes It on the Head

Anyone who harms animals is heartless and lacks conscience, and should not be allowed to have pets. Unfortunately, there are still too many animal abusers in the world.

What happened in this video in Melbourne, Australia, was both enraging and heartbreaking.

The footage captured the driver of a horse-drawn carriage kicking his exhausted horse that had collapsed from the strain of pulling a heavy carriage with tourists, showing clear signs of fatigue, while the owner’s response was disturbing.

In the video, a veterinarian named Krista Knight can be heard pleading with the man to stop hitting the horse, but her pleas are ignored. The man defends his actions by claiming he was just trying to keep the horse alert.

The video, shared on Facebook by Krista Knight, sparked outrage among viewers, drawing thousands of comments condemning the man’s actions.

Eventually, with the help of bystanders, the horse manages to stand up and appears to be unhurt. The owner’s nephew was the one who struck the horse, claiming it was to awaken the animal rather than cause harm, as reported by Daily Mail Australia.

There is no justification for resorting to violence against a defenseless animal like a horse. If you share this sentiment and stand up for animal rights, feel free to spread this message!
