(20,176 posts)I think the horse-pulled sledge is cruel. I don't buy Budweiser products because of it.
the reason to not drink Bud products is because they mostly suck. American mass-produced crap with no character or flavor. Gives me a headache if I drink more than a couple.

(20,176 posts)So I wouldn't be buying Budweiser products even if they didn't have a horse-drawn sledge.
Really though, it's their horse-cart I have an issue with rather than the concept in general (horses are not designed to pull heavy weights for long distances over asphalt. It's bad for their hooves and promotes fractures in the legs.), much like I worked to ban the carriage-horse rides in Central Park because there's no question those horses are being abused.

(55,006 posts)had a cousin use a team to do some dirt work on a pond one year - it was fascinating to watch those animals pull. They are working animals born and bred to it and they really seem to love it - they put their hearts into doing what they are asked.
