What a shame, what a crying shame.<\/p>\n

The death of three horses for the making of\u00a0 the HBO<\/em> series ‘Luck<\/strong>‘ is a real disgrace and is pretty darn unforgivable, as well.<\/p>\n

Dustin Hoffman <\/em>and Nick Nolte<\/em>, among other actors who appeared in the already canceled series should be ashamed of themselves.<\/p>\n

One death of a horse is too many, a second one a fire-able offense and a third … just goes entirely beyond the pale.<\/p>\n

I can only hope my wife, a horse lover, hasn’t heard about this story or she’d be heartbroken.<\/p>\n

“While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen and it is impossible to guarantee they won\u2019t in the future.\u00a0 Accordingly, we have reached this difficult decision [to cancel Luck],” HBO execs said in a statement.<\/p>\n

I don’t know much about this stuff, but I have NEVER heard of three instances of animal deaths from the production of one season of one program.<\/p>\n

Goodbye and good riddance to this show, full of coarse and vulgar language and Hoffman acting like some kind of bully or punk.<\/p>\n

If it’s true\u00a0 that Hoffman is holding some kind of party to celebrate the show, as TMZ reported, I find that to be kind of sick and sad at the same time.<\/p>\n

Everyone should quietly fade away deep into the night and think about what happened to three of\u00a0 God’s creatures to make a dopey program.<\/p>\n

This kind of ‘Luck’ I could easily do without.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
