“My life-long Liam Neeson fan-dom has ended,” Bill Mahers declares. What could have caused this sort of Hollywood idol heartbreak? Neeson’s undying love and Support for the NYC carriage horse program.
Oh yes, that very same program that is responsible for the accidental death and blatant abuse of hundreds of horses. Maher weighs in pretty frankly on his distaste for Neeson’s ode to the carriage horse program (if you haven’t seen the video, check it out here). Clearly Maher does not understand why anyone would wish to champion the abuse of animals…and really who does?!
But Neeson has made it clear that he sees this program as a quintessential part of the NYC experience. As anyone who actually lives in or frequents New York knows, anything considered “quintessential” New York is probably best to be avoided at all costs (sorry Times Square).
As Maher so eloquently puts, “anyone who has seen a horse run in the wild” knows that to get them to work as a carriage horse involves breaking their spirit completely. I think it is fair to say that Liam Neeson is set to lose a few more fans…and Bill Maher has gained at least one!
I agree, Liam seems like a total dumbass on that subject!
Unfortunately, moving to another hotel so he cant "smell horseshit" & doesn\’t have to look at the horses – doesn\’t sound like much of an animal advocate! Yes, seeing horses running free is wonderful – do you have any idea what\’s happening to the wild horses & burros at this moment? Or have you spoken out against the abuse done to the Tennessee Walking Horse in order to get the "big lick" – the soring, pads, chains, etc??? How about racehorses – starting them at 2 years old – when they are no more than babies? Oh, Bill, there are so many ways in which your speaking up could actually HELP! Sure, the carriage horses are working. Have you any idea what happens to lots of draft (work) horses when they no longer have a job? And then, there\’s horse slaughter – where so many of the horses sent to slaughter are not old, crippled or sick – but young quarter horses, young race horses – and oh yes the draft horses that are sent to Japan for meat! Open your eyes and research this subject, Bill.
Is Bill Maher vegan? If not, will he be making a video about his own love of animal abuse? I assure you, those individuals Bill Maher eats suffer considerably more for his love of eating their bodies, than the horses (who also suffer unimaginably) do.
