Today's Soapbox Lecture

Ok so you own horses (and I am speaking about ANYONE that owns horses) so take responsibility for their upkeep, vet bills and so forth. I am sooooo sick to death of seeing people solicit for money from poor unsuspecting people with some sad sack story. You CHOSE to have these horses and if you can't afford to have vet care, put one down, have it disposed of then by GOD you don't need to have them. I understand that OCCASIONALLY there are circumstances that require people to ask for help but dear LORD not all the freaking time. Especially if you know you have a horse that has special needs and you know there is a chance that you will have to make that decision to have them put down. Put money aside. I am sick of seeing posts asking for donations or GO FUND ME accts set up for stupid shit. Don't get me wrong, I am all for GO FUND ME. I think it has done wonders for many people that do NOT abuse the system but then I have seen some that are stupid and trivial and for things that they should be able to do on their own. Things that are within your control should not be things that you ask others to pay for. A fly mask is not that expensive. I have bought plenty, things like that should not be bought with donations from others unless you are a sanctioned rescue with all the credentials to back it up. Trust me if I donate I would want to see all the necessary paperwork to make sure my hard earned money is going for what its suppose to.
I am sure I could beg for donations too and get them but I don't. My horses are my responsibility and I take on that responsibility. Is it hard????? Damn straight it is but I work my ass off to get it done. If I have to do without something then I do. Its called priorities. Get a clue people. Start pulling your own weight, get a freaking job and support your habit.
