NW should comment on the fact at one point a small number of people somewhat towards the back of the demo began throwing bottles at the line of horses which is totally unacceptable and was something the majority didn't engage in. While it is easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment, it's not the horse's fault and it's not what we are about. Justifying attacks on innocents is what our enemies do!

I was not at that demo, but I have been to demos with horses and dogs. I have also worked with horses up close and see the police dogs up close. They are not your "normal" animals, they go throw a lot of training and a lot of them are cut. For the horses they get cut if they can't step on someone or kick them. Yes horses can be mean and they get the Alfa ones and train them to be robots, the dogs are the same. You have to remember that only 10% or less of the animals make it throw the training & the rest are killed or sent to other places. It would take a very long time and a lot of hard work to bring the animal back to close to "normal".
I don't feel bad about someone hitting them because they are like the riot cops, nazi and military special units. Yes they are people and animals deep down but they have lost so much that we can't see them as nothing more then the enemy. I will hit a cop or throw a stone and him and the same goes for there equipment will get smashed, including the horses and dogs.
The best thing for the horse is to throw small steels balls (barings) under it's legs and let it charge and some thumbtacks down where the dogs are running. Also bikes are great to stop horses because you can put them in there legs or roll them under there chest.

I know I have a lot of animal rights people attacking me but until they can find a better way to stop the cops from using them. We will still have to defend our selfs

Also Horses, even police horses, will not charge a row of long pointy objects. Banner poles can make great 'pikes.' They dont need to be effective as weapons, just a concentration of long poles in one area pointed outwards and upwards to the head height of the animal is usually enough to make horses shy away.
