Since when has evolution had intelligence?

Have you ever noticed that, if one listens carefully to the proponents of the theory of evolution, invariably and in a subtle way, they will suggest that evolution has intelligence.

Time has come to ban horse carriages

A horse pulling a cart bolted at the Lockhart Showground last week, injuring four people. This incident provides more damning evidence that the use of horses or other animals for entertainment is out of step with twenty-first century social values.

Two teenage passengers on board were thrown out of the cart, as the horse, alarmed by a loud noise, galloped into bystanders, running over a young woman and injuring another man.

Horses are sensitive and skittish animals. Humans and horses have been seriously hurt—and even killed—when horses have become spooked and run amok. Horse-drawn carriages are appallingly cruel to these gentle animals who can suffer serious leg ailments, lameness and hoof deterioration.

Horses are considered property under the law, so owners can send them to slaughter when they are old, injured, or exhausted. Since many operators may consider it cost-prohibitive to care for an animal who isn’t bringing in revenue, the fate of discarded horses is grim.

The time has come to ban these carriages for good.
