rain_gryphonCuba, of all places, passes a law against animal cruelty. I am heartened.

So, a few years back, three unfortunate Horses were discovered at the ruins of a villa just to the north of Pompeii. One was harnessed.
Now they've got the cart he was going to pull. It is very obviously a special, expensive ceremonial cart, with loads of decorations. I wonder what happened? Was he getting ready to pull the cart to a safe place in view of the ongoing eruption? Was there a wedding or special occasion that day, and they decided to go through with it regardless? Were the other two part of a troika who hadn't been harnessed yet, or were they going to carry outriders? Or, perhaps the situation was scarey enough that they brought along a little herd of stablemates for reassurance - Horses always feel safer with friends.
At any rate, interesting but sad.
