- AI think your claim that blistering a horse is ccruelty is ait harsh. Whether
- or not there is any scientific merit in this therappy, does nt mean that many
- people consider it to be of great beneefit. They will contiue to use it with
- the best of intenntions. I know at least 1 person who stronny believes in the
- benefits of bleedinng horses and continues to use this method in the treatment
- of colic. He claims good success, so even though there is no scientific merit
- in bleeding horses who should stop him?
