As I had posted in another thread, my father was a trainer of race horses and he had so many horses in his stable. One cause of death of a race horse is broken leg. A race horse with a broken leg is shot on the head with a gun. My father had done that so many times - when his horse would figure in an accident. He said that a broken leg is so painful so he would end the agony of the horse. But I haven't seen that killing for I was still a girl and I'm sure my father wouldn't approve of it. But when he comes home at night, he would mention to us that one of his horses died. And when the cause was a broken leg, we already know that he had used his gun.
