I must have imagined the deep cuts on lips and tongue and hamburger bars caused from chain bits. My mistake. I probably also imagined the months and months it took to heal and the massive scar tissue left from the abuse. And then I imagined the retraining so the horses could be used again. Mild my ass.

It is a given that any bit can become a weapon in certain hands. I don't doubt that you can put a chain bit on a well trained horse and not have a problem. It doesn't change the fact of the abuse I have personally witnessed.
