People who are missing a leg look unnatural and strained when they're walking, but ask them if they're 'suffering' and they'll laugh at you and just say 'no, just inconvenienced'. A horse who is walking unnaturally is *inconvenienced* by the missing leg, but they are not necessarily *suffering*.

He looks like he's still learning to use it, in my opinion. Unsure of the dimensions of the prosthetic / which leg positions are safe.

​@surtu9221 horses 🐎 are not people and thier mechanics are soooo different. Dogs and cats can have amputations. Horses get suffering and usually laminitis, founder and die

No animal wants to die. They want to live as much as we do. This leg will help him enjoy the rest of his life.

@@sharonquintana6409 I see at different. But this is only the owners decision.

bet youd put disabled people to sleep too huh🤬

@YO YO depends on their state, yes. Life may be important but I never want someone to live a life full of pain and limits and being dependent to others.

@@butzelbovat thats me dead then, thanks

He only just got it, he’s still getting used to it.

Yeah, and neither can a human being who just got a prosthetic either. No offense, but he's never going to 'walk normally' again and he doesn't have to in order to be a happy horse. He just has to be able to patrol a field now and then, when he's feeling up to it, and otherwise just grow fat and socialize with his friends for the next twenty years. I don't know why with every other animal people seem to understand that an animal can be disabled and still be happy, a goat, a cow, a deer, a donkey, but they lose their minds when a horse can't walk properly. Ya'll be brainwashed by the race horse industry normalizing euthanasia for leg injuries so they don't have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars rehabilitating an animal they just injured and giving it a proper retirement out at pasture for a life of service.

Nah, killing it is selfish because you horse owners only see horses as money-making machines, and since that horse can't run/jump or whatever sh*t you force these animals to do to make money, you kill it. Just be honest and say you only see a horse as a money-making machine.

@@crazyhairsinger if a horse has damage done that is impossible to fix and loses the ability to use the leg as a result, then it needs to be put down humanely. Putting the horse down is the kindest thing to do. I'm sure those owners don't want to let their horse go but our current technology is not advanced enough to provide a 3 legged horse with the same quality of life as a 4 legged horse. There are a lot of irresponsible horse owners out there that exploit their horses, but there are a lot of good ones too that put what is in the best interest of the horse first before the humans wants and needs. The people in this video are only thinking about themselves and what they want, and not about the horse or it's quality of life now.

@@crazyhairsinger horses also don't move and balance the same way as cats and dogs do on prosthetics because of their anatomy and size. Any video you look at of a horse on a prosthetic, they only use it for a tiny bit of balance so they don't fall over but their body looks uncomfortable. They don't put their full weight on it. Horses weigh too much to use a prosthetic correctly. They literally will only survive for a few more years before they can no longer walk anymore because of the added stress on their body. Their spine will suffer the most. Can you imagine how much the horse has to over compensate every muscle in its body, using it's entire body incorrectly to make up for the lost leg? Horses already walk on 4 stilts. How can anyone ask a horse to walk on 3 stilts it can feel with and then one stilt they cannot feel and interact with the world with? Horses were designed by nature to move for miles and miles a day. Even a 4 legged horse that cannot walk for one reason or another will become lame and arthritic. You can't just keep a horse in a stall all day because it needs to move, run, kick it's feet up and play. A 3 legged horse cannot get the same exercise or be baby sat 24/7. A 3 legged horse is destined for a life of pain and suffering. That horse's body WILL deteriorate and die.

Eles se acustumam aprende viver você não é Deus pra decidir quem vive quem morre

@@samaragoulart2218 Nadie está tratando de jugar a ser dios, pero la calidad de vida del caballo será mala. el caballo no merecia perder una pata pero tampoco merece vivir con dolor con 3 patas. La dueña solo piensa en sí misma porque no quería despedirse.

So just kill it and move on? How cold blooded and heartless!

I don't know about you, but if I couldn't walk right, I wouldn't suddenly want to die, especially not if all my friends lived right next to me, my food was all room service, and I could still get around at my own pace.

@@surtu9221 Exactly! If you care about your horse or any animal, you will do everything possible to save them.

I was born with bad ligaments in my legs, was told I could walk normally by 12 with no intervention. I'm 19 now and still don't walk normally. Should I be put down? (I work with horses, and it looks like he's still getting used to the prosthetic and what steps are safe)

Mostro. Vocês pensam em apenas matar

what's so different between a horse with a prosthetic and a retired horse that lives in a pasture.

@@craigrainbow7674 horse with a prosthetic leg is missing a leg and can not move or stand properly and is suffering from pain from the unnatural pressure of the prosthetic leg. They are heavy animals.

@@Mat-ilda so by that logic we should shoot people with chronic pain because it's too much for them to handle. That horse can become accustomed to the prosthetic but can't really adapt to being dead. See the difference between having nothing to having an opportunity.

@@Mat-ilda Modern prosthetics are much better than they used to be, I’ve seen horses with prosthetics running, jumping, and being fine and happy.
