A Slaughter of Inocents

[grumpa]

God made the horse from the breath of the wind,
the beauty of the Earth and the soul of an Angel.

Sobering and well executed piece.

A very dark subject but really well executed. You're right about the slaughter though. I'm sure I read that over one million horses were sent to Europe from England during WWI, but literally only a handful were brought back.

More like eight million Dave. :disappointed2:

Hi Jim
You've done it again. A model that pulls no punches about the horrors of war. You have a style all of your own. Superb modelling skills.

That's a dreadful statistic! I know human casualties are worse but at least we generally have a choice about our involvement and some understanding of the reason.

Very dark subject matter Jim, but one that does show the reality of war. It is always the innocents that suffer in a conflict be they civvies or animals.

Well made and crafted and the detail is superb, the lone horse makes it more stand out as I ignored the tank and focused on that-which of course, was your intention.

A very moving scene of sorrow and horror, and the waste of live,very well detail and show,
great work as always Jim,
I did read somewhere about over million,s killed then for the ones that made it,should not name real,
but the french & Belgians love of horse meat so so meany loss, :crying:

Thanks so much Jim, the Missus wishes I would lighten up a bit but what would be the fun of that?

Thanks guys, war is a terrible thing and I just figured someone should acknowledge the horrific what I would call animal
abuse perpetrated against these poor gentle giants. :disappointed:
