Ridiculous people and a pony

HERE is the story. Idiots bought a pony for their kids and lived in town. Yeah. So they put him in a windowless shed and fed him potato peelings. The poor pony, Diddy, has been taken and re-homed. If you go there and look, you'll see a bucket of water and straw bedding. A lot of city type people have no idea that straw is not food. You'd be surprised how many people don't understand the difference between hay and straw. I'm not sure if they're cruel (as the headline calls them)or just ignorant. Anyway, it was a terrible life for a sweet pony and now he's rescued. You'd think this is an isolated weird thing, but, it's not. This is exactly how we got our first pony. He was bought as a novelty for children and abandoned. When I found him, he had no water unless it rained and he was eating tree bark to survive. He was badly foundered and half crippled from it. I had to learn about hoof care. He was quickly dubbed 'Pony' and became a favorite pet of my daughter. When I moved, I took him with me. Keep your eyes open, seriously, you'd be surprised what you see and hear where you least expect it.
