I remember horse pulling at fairs in Connecticut when I was a kid. That was probably cruel too, but I can’t remember. Thanks for the B and P photo, and the other photos, and the article a bout them. So ephemeral.
In my 88 years have never been to an oxen pull, and this picture does not make me sorry! What a terrible hobby! Those beasts are so thin,and certainly look to be abused. My husband used to be a hunter, and I think that was more humane!
Very beautiful and moving photos and comments, Terry. They shed a new light on memories from 40 years ago. Thank you for the links too—I’m seeing with new eyes…

I hope I was clear that not all teams are abused.
Cool to pair with art. Thank you!
thanks.

Sometimes, ignorance really is more blissful.
