Iconic pic of telegraph worker trying to resuscitate his mate who was electrocuted, whilst they were working on wires. Result? He managed to lower them both and started CPR on ground. Saved him!

Goodnes, glad my stomach isnt in my shoulderCry
I wonder is it genes or something in the hair follicles that give those Arkle Teke horses their colour?  That one appears silver while I have only ever seen gold ones.

There’s now 3,500 AT’s in various countries outside their homeland. They tried putting TB into the breed to improve them cause they have a relatively small gene pool but it was unsuccessful. Don’t know what that means.
As to the stomach placement, I think the first artist had imbibed too many wines before starting work? 😉😆

Lions are amazing creatures, got me stuffed why people would kill such beauty.

Seen a albino lion at the zoo not long ago, if looks could kill, the paws on them would rip any human apart

Lions, and any animals , are amazing,  and so beautiful, but the dead gelatis out there just cant help themselves.   It makes them feel powerful to kill.   Otherwise, what would you get out of shooting lion/ele/leopard or any other big game ? 
And if it gives you a thrill to kill these animals,   I just wonder how you fit into society on an every day basis.  Bit sick   me thinks.

AA we don't live in these countries.  So sometimes if one of the animals is being to distructive or even killing you can understand people getting fed up.  No time for people from other countries just wanting to get a kill though.  Was watching a program about Elephants the other day and the numbers are up and villages suffering from them knocking down fences and predators getting live stock.  They want culling so like I said.  We cull our wildlife when numbers of Kangaroos get out of hand.  Doesn't mean we don't love Kangaroos.  And yes I couldn't do it but in times of drought it's either that or they are left to die from stavation.  I just think nothing should dies without using every part - ie skin meat etc.  So if they have to cull numbers I hope the same applies.

It wouldn't surprise me that Akhal Teke blood is in thoroughbreds.  They did mix bloods to start the breed.  Also we don't have silver or gold but have you seen a chestnut like Sebring and the glow they get on their coats.  I don't have anything against having them in the mix so to speak at all.  Beautiful horses.

I understand that part Furious.  Its the killing for ivory and rhino horns , or just to have a trophy that sickens me.
Cull if you have to but make it humane.
Otherwise, leave the animals alone and in peace.

Yes but if you have to cull don't let it be a waste.  I hate seeing the sights of government culls where the animal is let to rot.  Nothing should die without every part being used.  The world only has so much to give and we waste so much.

The words accompanying the video are in Spanish, and the horses look Andalusian?
