Animals are used in many ways throughout society for the simple fact that they can achieve things that are simply impossible for humans.
Consequently, we often take advantage of their abilities and use them to help us with our own tasks. These policemen are protected as they travel on horseback through the chaos of a riot. The horses are able to keep their composure through it all and allow the police to get control over the situation more safely. Animals are used in many similar situations by policemen, firemen, and even border patrol agents to help keep society in order.
