Shocking Stallion Slaughter Perturbs Paper

Say this for the Post: when they have a great headline, they don’t hide it under a bushel. The tragic story of three retired police horses who were euthanized because it would be too difficult to transport them to another farm-a situation which everyone who has once been a child might think is the nice way of saying “had them put down”-is gifted with the remarkable title “NYPD Glue.” The article itself is rather unusual in its shock and horror over the whole affair, given that the Post’s editorial line seems to suggest a desire to euthanize all the retired humans from our city’s civil service, lest they draw on the generous pensions their despicable union representatives negotiated in good faith, but I guess people feel different about the ponies than they do about cops and firemen.
