I simply don't "get" how?/why? could anyone let those poor horses get to that condition? I too have spent time trying to TO figure it out . . . and bottom line: I don't know.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576090634674056178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-37778873416062577342012-02-17T12:13:50.872-06:002012-02-17T12:13:50.872-06:00I think it is a combination of stupidity, lacking ...I think it is a combination of stupidity, lacking in empathy and truly believing that animals are self-sufficient. I can't tell you the number of times I have said to people that you can't leave your dogs or cats outside when it's -30C. The usual response is "but they are animals, they have a fur coat!" Drives me nuts. Being a wildlife advocate, I read/see lack of caring for wild animals regularly. <br /><br />Every time I am at the point that the top of my head is going to blow off, something nice happens. I watched some city workers trimming trees near the hydro wires. There was a squirrel nest in the tree and the squirrel was running around our parking lot in a panic. I was just about to put my coat and boots on to speak with the guys, but then I noticed they were carefully trimming around the nest. I am pretty sure that it is not city policy to protect squirrels, but someone in the group made a decision to save a life. If they had cut down the nest, the squirrel would have perished due to lack of food and protection from our freezing weather.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-72766157619156226862012-02-17T09:22:33.491-06:002012-02-17T09:22:33.491-06:00I don't want to know, I imagine it would only ...I don't want to know, I imagine it would only make me detest them more.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-77629364219449271282012-02-17T08:03:10.718-06:002012-02-17T08:03:10.718-06:00I love your writing.

I also have nothing but a harsh and unforgiving judgement of these creeps.Sandrahttp://twohorses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-27069486188643187112012-02-16T14:44:35.734-06:002012-02-16T14:44:35.734-06:00Isn't lack of empathy generally a sign of (muc...Isn't lack of empathy generally a sign of (much) deeper psychological issues?Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-4086559550294425272012-02-16T12:34:55.434-06:002012-02-16T12:34:55.434-06:00I would tend to guess the 'why do they' is...I would tend to guess the 'why do they' is a mixture of ignorance and disassociation. Some people feel animals can take care of themselves and so they don't bother to care.
