Dixie Chicks

It is for sure about that balance. I hope my statement wasn't misconstrued. I've also known animal lovers who don't have the heart to put down a suffering animal. Which is selfishness in a friendly disguise. I see how the old boys get to that place tho'. Rough exteriors but hopefully deep down care for their animals. A lot of times money is more in play. As it is a business for some. But never do I have time for the sadistic, cruel types. Which is maybe who you were inferring. I think also this is generational -- the differing attitude towards utilitarian animals. It's a new age and gladly probably more conscientious...thankfully.

@hennible That was the plan... then we moved to Alberta. I have the training for canine massage and could easily get the same credentials for horses. There is no market for that in oil country.

Horse massage AND Chiropractic are big Bucks here..... I used to use a Chiropractor for my horse and she would charge a hundred and twenty for an adjustment.... Once a month for a while.

Yes, but just because you are a farmer doesn't mean you can't love your animals... or vice versa.

Grandpa Dixon was a sharecropper and a task master.... No animal was allowed on the property unless it was doing some sort of job... providing food bringing in money or helping hunt. Dad tied the cow out in the front yard so she could eat some of the grass one time. He got a whoppin because he neglected to put a water tub out there for her.

While Grandpa had no use for animals that didnt provide a function he was a stickler on their care and management.... he may not have loved them in the sense many think of it he did care about their well being. In some cases thats kind of better... No obesity because foo foo just has to have table scraps... just good clean food in the right quantities... and exercise.
