Now, if you come at me a say, "well, its not news when a regular person dies, so why do we mention it when famous people die", then you're just equating people to animals and thats just plain dumb.

No it is because the horse is famous. Famous people and animals are news when they die. Regular every day shmos and animals are not. Its the fame that matters, not whether they are human or beast.
