Reply #7: What kind of person? [View All]

[Vanje]

A poor person , with home forclosed , and their back against the wall, and out of options , heart-broken, and hopeless.

Want a horse or donkey? It'll cost you a few bales of hay to trade.
The want ads in rural Idaho are full of them.
Most people are trying to trade a horse for some hay, any amount of hay , so they can feed what horses remain while they try to re-home the lot.


......and sure, the family should have known they were able to properly care for their horse before committing to ownership...but most families dont plan to get laid off , lose their home, and have to ditch their pets when faced with sudden eviction.

Lot of it happening.

The humane orgs are overwhelmed.

I'd call it a crisis.
