Man Faces Charges For Beating, Dragging Horse Behind Truck
An Arizona man who was caught by police in August 2008 after tying his horse to the back of his truck will face charges for animal cruelty in federal court this Tuesday.
Gorden Allen Bates tied a horse to the back of his truck and then proceeded to stop the vehicle and beat the animal with a PVC pipe while his 13-year-old daughter kicked it in the face. Luckily, a state trooper happened onto the scene.
In a scandalous PETA ad that has her draped naked over a horse, Kristen Johnson denounces horse-drawn carriages as cruel.
