The Left Eats Its Own: PETA Condemns Anti-Trump Protester Who Struck Police Horse

A woman who was a protester at an anti-Trump rally in Kansas City, Missouri on March 12 has been arrested for abuse of a service animal in the wake of her assault on a mounted police officer���s horse during the protest. Mounted police personnel were assisting in crowd control in downtown Kansas City when one protester, 29-year-old April Foster, approached an officer and his horse, ���Dan.��� Foster began screaming in Dan���s face in an apparent effort to frighten him and prompt him to retreat, and, when that effort failed, Foster slapped the horse in the face with her open hand.

Although Foster herself quickly retreated after striking the animal, information called into police via their TIPS hotline helped them to eventually locate Foster. She was arrested, and subsequently posted a $500 bond. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance on May 4.

Foster, who self-describes (via her Instagram bio) as, among other things, a ���commie��� and a ���trans,��� has surely put her leftist-progressive brethren in a bit of a bind, vis-��-vis their feelings about her, by committing this act of animal cruelty. PETA Senior Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch released a statement underlining that reality:
���All animals feel pain, stress and fear just like we do, and they deserve our respect and protection. Horses are highly sensitive prey animals, and this poor horse was without a doubt already under a tremendous amount of stress as a result of the chaos, the crowds, the deafening noise of the angry protesters, and more. PETA commends the person who called the tip line so that this woman���s apparent cruelty to this horse does not go unpunished.���

I���m very glad that Dan the Police Horse is apparently just fine in the wake of his altercation with April the Commie-Trans, and also happy to see another case of the left going after one of its own; life���s little pleasures.
