The Foggiest Notion

Perhaps this man is a veternarian. This may have been the photo for the textbook chapter on equine medicine.

Thanks for alerting me to the medical practice whereby the doctor triumphantly sits atop his dead patient. I always suspected that something like that would go on.

Maybe he is waiting for the renderer. You may recall that I had a similar experience once. There really is nothing to do with a dead horse but sit around and wait for the renderer.

Hi OneEar,
This is an old photograph; do you know when and where it was taken? Perhaps the gentleman is bemoaning the loss of his horse and is in a state of shock. Were horses rendered to the glue factory back whenever this was taken? Or consider eating horse meat?

“My kingdom for a horse”.

This photo was on CNN this morning. Go figure. Apparently, the town had a regulation that if a horse died, it needed to be roped off, and as Cocoa has suggested, the owner needed to wait personally for the renderer to arrive. I hope that answers all questions.

Hi Loud But Off Key,
Yes, you answered all my questions; thank you very much. This is a strange photo for CNN, considering all the relevant news worthy events they’re usually concerned with. It looks like a rather deserted town; I wonder how long the owner was expected to wait for a renderer to arrive? Were they worried that someone would try to steal it? Different times….
