Why do you have to be so angry all the time?
Dec 11 2007
Every once in a while, someone (usually someone new) comes to this blog and asks me why I’m so mean. Why I’m so angry. Why I have to use such bad language. Well, today I’d like to show you some pictures that illustrate Why I Am So Goddamn Angry With Irresponsible Animal Ownership.
Yesterday, a neighbor’s donkey broke through my friend’s pasture fence, trying desperately to upgrade himself. After all, he had seen the farrier come out and do her horses, so he was hoping, quite sensibly, that if he moved next door, his own feet might get done, too! That and I think he was tired of sharing his pasture with two long-dead 1970′s era Ford Econoline vans in various stages of being parted out, with parts strewn all about.
(He’s clearly NOT the ass in this situation, despite the long ears!)
After Mr. Donkey had run the babies through the hot tape, which fortunately broke without causing any injuries, he was discovered trying to breed a six month old weanling filly
(awesome) and quickly haltered and removed from the pasture. Fortunately he turned out to be a lot tamer than the two bulls that have also visited from the same property, and was happy to stay restrained and filling his face with good hay for the remainder of the day.
I’d like to share these pictures with you. This is what I talk about all the time. Getting an animal without a fucking CLUE how to take care of it. Ignoring its most BASIC needs even though YOU have a NEW TRUCK and are not skimping on YOURSELF. Leaving it intact to run around the neighborhood trying to breed the neighbor’s weanlings. Hey! Mr. Missing Link Shit-For-Brains Neighbor? YOU ARE THE REASON I AM SO ANGRY. YOU ARE THE REASON I USE BAD LANGUAGE. I wish a hail of locusts would rain down upon you, Mr. Missing Link Shit-For-Brains Neighbor. I hope your unrestrained, untrained herding dogs that chase the horses for fun eat you in your sleep, and I hope they start with your testicles! I hope your two mixed-breed bulls, which have also come to visit thanks to your shitty fence and amused themselves by head-butting my friends’ Escalade and refusing to let her out of her own house, poke their big, sharp horns up your stupid ass!
King Asshat came and got his donkey last night and provided the excuse that “the donkey is not good for the farrier.” Do you SUPPOSE that is because he is an unfamiliar with a farrier as I am with LIFE FROM MARS??? Do you think that perhaps PUTTING DOWN THE GODDAMN BEER and going outside and HANDLING HIS FEET daily might HELP???
…*sigh* Yes, Animal Control has been out and taken pictures and HOPEFULLY King Asshat will get a citation at least…which I think is entirely insufficient for the amount of suffering he has inflicted upon this animal because he is a lazy, good for nothing sack of shit. Rumor has it there is an Arabian stallion somewhere on that property. I shudder to think…and yes, I will update you guys if A.C. pursues this and we find out more.
(Please reference this post any time someone wants to know why I am so angry. I think I’ve covered it. If you can look at these pictures and read this story and be anything but furious, that’s what I can’t understand.)

I reported a couple of men for their pony and donkey’s feet looking like shit.

I’ve yet to hear if they did anything or not, but since it was my mom’s boyfriend and his dad, I am getting kicked out of the house for my efforts.
I will cheerfully continue to follow up on the matter from my new location, because honestly, people who do that shit–and people who turn a blind eye to it (like my mother)–have opinions that don’t really mean a lot to me. And yes, I tried to talk them about it and the pony is “just fine” thanks.
Okay, so my mother hating me now is kind of upsetting, but obviously, that’s a tie that needs to be cut anyway.
>>Do you use Acepromazine on stallions/geldings? Our vets don’t recommend it because it has been known to cause paralysis of the muscle that retracts the penis, leaving the penis perpetually exposed. Just wondering.< <
I have heard that recently but I’ve worked for people who aced geldings routinely, like 3x a week for polo (not saying I approve of this, just saying I’ve worked for people who did it) and I’ve never seen this side effect. My personal theory is if they’re too crazy to play without ace, they are too crazy to play – give up already.
Fugly – Dontcha just love the folks that regulerly train horses with ace , claiming they are just using it as a safety precaution..
Any updates on curly toed donkey?
When I was a teen, we found a pony in almost this same condition at an abandoned farm. It couldn’t get up anymore, it had eaten a circle around itself in the grass down to the dirt. This was back in the 70s, so we had to leave it to go to the nearest town to phone the police on our way home. Before we left we brought it apples from the orchard trees on the property. Later when we called the police department, they said the pony had gotten up and crawled to the creek for a drink. I never followed up as to what happened to it, but I never ever forgot about it. I still have dreams about it now, and I’m middle aged. What horrible things people do to animals.
