LOL! I can read a lot into that one. The black is a stallion, obviously. The lighter colored horse in the background may well be a mare. This stud is obviously NOT interested in becoming a father...
One ofthe cartoons last week in the Dilbert calender made Reference to the CEO going fox hunting - he was told the interns were ready in their fox suits for the hunt!
Heh. I've been reading Rita Mae Brown's The Hunt Ball, a school mystery with a lot of fox hunting scenes. (Set in Virginia, where their style of fox hunting does not seek to kill the fox. They prefer to let the quarry get away so they can hunt it again some time. I guess the whole point is the chase.) One interesting aspect of the story is the way she shows not only the human conversations, but the ones between the animals. The foxes and dogs carry on a lot of discussion about why humans don't eat each other, for instance. ;p
Humans do not literally eat one another (except in rare cases), but given human cruelty and the tendency to consume other humans as objects, they do so symbollically.
