Sad but interesting story:
http://www.site.missywryn.com/Benny_the_Autistic_Horse.html And speaking of autism and animals, here's a terrifying and fascinating story from Temple Grandin's website. (By the way if you don't know who Temple Grandin is I HIGHLY recommend her books...very interesting reads, especially if you're in to animal behavior.):
The part I found most interesting is about halfway through (the bit about the rapist roosters).
