Just days before Barbaro was humanely put down, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act was reintroduced in Congress.

Still, I can’t help thinking that there is some parallel between the mass slaughter of the Passenger Pigeon in 19th-century North America and the mass slaughter of songbirds in southern European countries today. In both countries, birds have been killed for reasons of food, commerce, and sport.
