Unlike my car or my coffeetable, my horse can suffer.

Yes, she's property. I don't anthropomorphize her, and I certainly don't feel that I "owe" my animals a forever home. She's 23 now, she was...

I think most of the time, it's just a simple "I don't want this horse anymore." But in these brave times it's somewhat of a faux pas to just come out and say you no longer want your pet, so you have...

No.
This is a federal police force. It follows federal rules - and if it doesn't, it should be cleansed of those who have and allow this "attitide and hijinks". This ain't a privately owned truck...

But shouldn't it be the other way around? The OP is trying to retrieve their property, the ownership of which is not in question. Shouldn't the cop tell the BO to release the property, and pursue the...

I'm guessing that the timing of the suit has to do with the timing of her diagnosis.

Apparently she also complained at the time, and there was an investigation (internal). As much as I find her...

You...needed to do that?

I like their sense of humor, personally :D The petition, whether also originated by the blogger or by the painfully gullible, adds to the fun.

It is a good idea; it comes up often enough when discussing management of Mustangs on public lands.

If people insist they're "wild" animals, fine: they're wild animals with insufficient predation,...

The lack of contract plays more in her favor IMO. If I live with a bf and throw him out, no one would question my right to remove his stuff from my property (for ex, no court would believe that he...

LOL, you guys:

I'm gonna sign up for this traditional stick-only hunt.

And it's hilarious :D

How does any BO get rid of any boarder? If the boarder doesn't cooperate it's not easy, from an administrative POV, but it's not legally complicated in that there is a process to follow. The fact...

This would only work if the split was relatively amicable and the guy was able to transition into the role of boarder without dragging up past relationship issues (ditto for you being able to...

Probably the other offences weighed more.
I don't for a moment think that the animal cruelty was the reason for the 20 yrs. There were weapons felonies, that would explain the heavy sentence. Hell,...

All the good stuff. All of it!

:winkgrin:

Yes, but they also seem special in that they want to sell their possessions with significant strings attached, having their cake and eating it too.

And yes, agreed that the...

Do as I say, not as I do?
So you don't trust any...anything, really, to look after YOUR precious money, but here you are suggesting that "as a matter of fact" every rescue group should have to post...

So why don't you suggest what Angela did - every breeder has to post a million dollar bond before getting into the breeding biz? Get to the root of the problem. No bond, no breeding. You seem happy...

If she wants a packer, why in the world is she looking at untrained horses?

We always had cats dumped at my old barn. Some were adopted, a couple made decent barn cats and mostly supported themselves (with food supplemented in the winter).

But people kept dumping them,...

1 Weatherbeeta purple winter blanket
1 rainsheet
1 stall blanket or...whatever it is. Non-weatherproof blanket.
1 flysheet

Well no, telling the entire story is easy enough.
It's the back-pedalling that makes it hard ;)


Ok, so he "discriminates" against drafts, and he's fat and you don't like that. That is ALL you...

Uhhh...unless that farrier can see the future, the stiffing and online belittling (which all happened after he asked the OP to pay the extra $10) could hardly be an asshole tax.
And if the farrier...

Me neither. I can google the BLM and the google link comes up, but I can't click on the adoption part.

Heck, for the sake of entertaining online drama I even hope it's so, but for the sake of basic decency I have to tell her to run like hell from this woman.

Just adding another "OMG don't do this!"

Really, is there any way you see this turning out well? At all?
You said she's looking at barns, not housing right now. Her priorities are screwed and...
