Cheryl, so sorry to here about the horse stuff!! And yea, what are people thinking?? I was watching tv this am, and ya know how the ASPCA always shows the advertisement with all the poor little dogs and cats?? OK, let me put this in perspective so people don't think I'm an #$%^&hle
I was a vet tech for 10yrs, ok, I've seen some crappy stuff, there are very stupid, unthinking and cruel people out there, I do have a jaded opinion for sure. BUT, there are thousands of children who go with out a decent meal in this country, and in this economy there are tons of displaced people who need our help! And yet the ASPCA shows these ads, with animals with "feeling", in other words, they put words on the animals that supposedly they are "thinking"!!! REALLY?? So, then people who don't have a clue about animal behavior feel sorry for them and send them money!!! Which reminds me of the sort of thing your neighbors are doing!! Now, do not mistake this post, that is a sad ad, and yes there are some nasty people, and yes I do feel sorry for those animals, and yes, I do think that we can bond with them and they sense our emotions and feelings, and are very good companions, but, it is hard for me to justify supporting animals vs hungry children, etc..... AND stupid people who think feeding the coyotes and raccoons is a good thing!! I think I would look up information on how much destruction these animals do to farming and copy it and leave on their door step!!!
On the other hand, I am sooo glad you are feeling well and the baby is doing well!!! Glad to hear from you and please keep us posted!!
oh I was going to add, imagine what your neighbor is paying for the turkeys she is feeding the coyotes!!! I'm sure that money could go to a much better and worthy cause!!
