Without Further Misery
Because Ben’s horse appeared to have something in its stomach that shouldn’t have been there, it was concluded that the animal required surgical intervention. Since the only sedative she had access to at the time was a mild one, Felicia needed to be put under the care of the local authorities so that she could be fully sedated.
After fully comprehending the circumstances, Ben displayed an instantaneous calming effect. As soon as the law enforcement officials came to his ranch, he stood back and let them do their jobs. When he stepped up to him, the police officer told him something that the man just couldn’t believe. The officer approached the man and said, “Sir, you are required to come with us.” Ben immediately responded, “We need to ask you some questions.” Why did they feel the need to interrogate him? There was no cause for concern regarding his health. Because he had nothing to conceal, he answered the questions honestly to save himself from any additional anguish.
