Compassion is a feeling that makes man sensitive to the suffering and the death of animals. This feeling is not always shared by men and frequently they forget to recognize the merits of the animals wounded or killed while fighting side by side. In the past the horses were even more exposed to the dangers of war than men. In Belgium marks of these sufferings can be found on some monuments as well as in awards added to high military decorations.
同情心是一种让人对动物的痛苦和死亡敏感的情感。这种情感并非所有人都具备，人们常常忘记去认可那些在并肩作战中受伤或牺牲的动物的功绩。在过去，马匹甚至比人类更多地暴露于战争的危险之中。在比利时，这些苦难的印记可以在一些纪念碑上以及高级军事勋章上的附加奖励中找到。
