Stick Horses

Many social media users were confused about the purpose and reason for such an offbeat competition. They had many different opinions and questions about the event's meaning.

Last Tuesday, county workers maintaining a horse trail in the scrubby hills east of Los Angeles noticed a black bag at the bottom of an embankment with something pink sticking out of the top. A few hours later, Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies revealed with horror what they'd found inside: A child's body.

When a horse named Shaktiman died earlier this year, weeks after his hind leg was hit over and over with a stick, allegedly by a BJP law-maker, people from all over the country expressed grief and outrage.

A video that showed a BJP lawmaker from Uttarakhand brandishing a stick and appearing to aim at a policeman mounted on a horse caused outrage on Monday after it emerged that the horse had suffered multiple fractures in a leg.
