There is a Snopes article related to it, but i'm having problems pulling it up

Thanks for that. I still think that there should be restrictions on who can own them.

Obviously you don't because everything you wrote before that was retarded. And, I've worked in a vets office and seen many a dog that have been kicked by a horse. So to claim that a horse would never do anything to provoke an attack is absurd.

Apparently you missed the part where I said it was the owners of the dogs that should be held responsible.

I have yet to see a horse run up to some dog in a field minding it's own business and kick it. What I have seen is a dog run up to a horse and start barking at it or chasing it and then get kicked.

Because that would stop the thugs from having them. They all follow the laws so well and all.....

I know it isn't realistic...but it would be nice. They are dangerous in the wrong hands just like a gun. I don't think they are bad dogs and should be eliminated from the planet or anything. I love all dogs but pitt's do scare me.

So barking warrants a kick? I've seen dogs that bark when the wind changes direction. Just because a dog barks does not mean it's being aggressive. Matter of fact when I had more than one dog in the house they always barked at each other when playing. Now with one dog, she barks at the cat when she wants to get his attention and wants him to play.

If people would stop bad mouthing everyone elses pets and defending their own this thread would go away peacefully.

But I see how ya'll like fighting so much.

If you're a horse, yes.

Yes.

So by your statement here, it's very possible that a horse can misinterpret a dog's intentions and kick it and that's ok but if a dog does the same and attacks that's not?

Well it is the fault of the owner for not being able to keep its dog in the yard. Horses are spooked so easily..some more than others.

Well if the dog owner is worried about the dog getting kicked by the horse, then he/she shouldn't let the dog be around the horse. Simple solution.

Pixie, it's ok. You obviously don't know anything about horses. I don't blame horses for kicking dogs. Horses tend to not like anything around their feet. The horse isn't provoking a dog by kicking it, most likely it's trying to defend itself. Horses are always expecting to be attacked (fight vs. flight...they are prey animals), so they are always on the defensive.

I don't see why a miniature horse would try to "provoke" a dog, so your argument is moot. Please re-read my posts, because I'm clearly not blaming pits...just pointing out that you didn't have a valid argument about whether or not the horse provoked it.

I think a horse has the right to kick a dog in the head if the dog enters the horses pasture.

And that was my point from the get. It's the owners fault not the dog. Not only for not containing their dog but I doubt that this was the first time these dogs showed aggression. I'm of the belief that if ANY dog of ANY breed shows aggression it should be euthanized. There are thousands of good dogs sitting in shelters to have bad ones in homes.

My god you have just said one of the singlemost intelligent things I have seen on these forums. Thank you for that and I completely agree!

So, you didn't answer my question. It's ok for a horse to misinterpret intention but not a dog? You're skating around the question.
