Guess you really do know when you hit the end of the road.

Is that a gallows in the backgroud?

Who is that mysterious, elegant man? And why is he sitting on a dead horse? Waiting for the tow truck from the AHA?

Here in Iowa, there's still a law on the books prohibiting people from having dead horses that are "dripping and seeping" from being on their property after a certain amount of time. I guess the neighbors objected.
To: HEY4QDEMS
Since Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1858 I think its safe to assume its not a gallows.

Maybe the horse had a Ford transmission.

The city had laws on the books that required people to stay with their dead horses until they were picked up and disposed of, Dipple said. That's the explanation, but it doesn't explain why that became law.

Yes, but they hardly ever smile in these pics. It IS an odd picture. I'm sure PETA and the rest of the left will have a huge complaint about it.

all I know is that once you have been in the same space with a dead horse, you never forget the smell. In fact, it takes a couple of days before you can get the smell out of your hair and skin and clothes. I arrived at the stables where we had our daughter's horse boarded and an old old horse had died during the night. Oh my gosh. One small old horse dead for at most 8 hours and my eyes were watering and I almost threw up... in a large open air stables.

The city probably wanted to make sure there was someone to bill for the cleanup.

At that exact moment, AAA's eventual founder is struck with an idea that won't be realized for another 30 years.

Gallows...That's what I thought, too. Almost looks like barbed wire in the foreground of the photo and looks like down south....maybe Texas...
As far as the horse...maybe he stumbled and got hurt bad and the dude had to shoot him. It just looks like he is waiting for help.
