(2,947 posts)horse has been over human's progress to compassion. Here it is again: "Over a century ago, at a time when our nation was at war over a belief in slavery, it was the love and compassion shared between a man of color and his horse named Beautiful Jim Key which motivated citizens of all color to change their negative beliefs and negative behavior for a collective and positive social purpose. Beautiful Jim Key sparked an interest and then a movement, a movement that launched not only the animal rights movement of today, but the child protective movement, as well.
All because of one horse."
