As a child my mom had a goat because she lived on a farm, and she tied it to a tree so she could go do other stuff. Later she came back and found that the goat ate all the grass around it, and strangled itself trying to get one small patch of grass out of it's reach. It died

I know very little about the culture in Haiti. But after the recent disaster my neighbor had a significant number of their relatives move in with them for awhile. By significant I mean four people and six goats. And oh those goats were great. With thou goats many times were had. Such as they chewed/jumped through the fence and started to eat my grass. I never had to mow my lawn ever. tl;dr: Goats are fucking awesome.

Semi-related. My mom / brother and a bunch of my cousins went back to the Philippines late in May (I couldn't go maymester class oh well) When they were killing a bunch of pigs one got away mid having it's throat slit and ran. They caught him soon after because the pig decided to stop and start eating some grass.

[–]TeddiRevolution 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It didn't want to escape. It fully understood its fate, there was no way he could escape the humans. They were everywhere. All it wanted to do was chew on one patch of grass as a free pig.

He traded a lifetime of running for a moment of freedom.

A puppy you say? When I was three I had a dog, Bailey, who lived outside chained by her dog house. The top to the dog house came off so you could hose down the inside more easily. One day after cleaning my father forgot to replace the top and we went to dinner. When we came back, Bailey had repeatedly gone into her house and jumped out, effectively hanging herself.

I was at my cousins house one day after school. I was eager to see the new litter of Brittany Spaniel puppies. Apparently their eyes weren't even open yet. So my cousin led me to them, only to find that they weren't there. Earlier that same day my aunt had taken the litter of puppies to the school for my little cousins show and tell. She put them in a big rubber maid case to transport them. Without the lid of course. My youngest cousin who was about 4 at the time had witnessed her placing said puppies in the rubbermaid tub, and had secretly tried to emulate her later that day. The only difference was that he put the lid on it too. We looked everywhere before we opened the tub. The smell was horrible.

Similar story...my dad and stepmom have had goats for a long time, and decided it was time to add a sheep to the mix. My stepmom comes home one day to a COUGAR dragging the half eaten sheep across the driveway from the pen. She ran into the house to get the shot gun, but by the time she came out the cougar had run off and left the remains of the sheep in the driveway.

Edit: They haven't tried to get another sheep since.

Yeah, no doubt it would suck. The question is why is this news? Shit, if I had my car stolen or had damage to my property equaling the monetary and emotional loss of a pony, no one would ever see the headline "Mexican gets car and a bunch of other shit stolen".
However, to be fair, you wouldn't see a reddit post: "Mexican guy problems" as if being Mexican gives me a reason to bitch about stuff whereas white people shouldn't be. Edit: added last line.

Considering a good horse will cost you $10k upfront, I would be pissed too. Then, you have to add in the fact that the girl probably considered it a pet, so it had emotional value. It would be the equivalent for me if someone stole my car and my dog at the same time.

[–]yethegodless 223 points224 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously. You're talking about a (relatively) huge amount of monetary and emotional damage. On top of that, if she was an amateur or professional rider, then it's also a loss of income and a loss of years of training.

No, sorry but the horse market has bottomed out since the slaughter has been made illegal in the US, and the recession. You can find well bred, highly trained horses for $10K now that would have been $25K+ a few years ago.

A trained start pony for a little girl would go, depending on where you live, between $800-$2K unless it is very well bred or a rare breed.

I realize that this whole things is like a big joke to everyone here, but, the horse was likely stolen for a couple of reasons. Either it was sold to a meat trader (dudes that get unwanted horses from auctions and craiglist and thieves, and pay meat prices, then throw 'em on a trailer for slaughter.) Or, the horse may have been used for a sport called horse tripping at a Mexican-style rodeo. There's a bunch in CA and southwestern US that operate illegally.

[–]amaltheas2 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I beg to differ. It depends on the circle you're in, I see horses regularly sell for $10k as unproven foals and well in to the $30k-region for a proven horse.

The slaughter house has nothing to do with the sticker price of show quality stock. Do you have a source?

Another likely reason the horse may have been stolen is for insurance. It happens.

[–]alekgv 43 points44 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, they can cost $10k but they can also cost $200. There's a wide range of prices when it comes to horses. But I suppose that's not really the point.

I have had free horse that were lovely. Here in Canada they can still go for meat. I bought this horse to save her from becoming steak for 250 (she was worth about 200 for meat)

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd125/Grey-Run/_IGP3016.jpg

This one is extremely well bred (but has some issues, she bites, kicks and weaves.. but I love her!) came with papers and was dirt cheap http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd125/Grey-Run/_IGP3040.jpg

If you can do a bit of training, or know what to look for you can often pick up a great show horse for much less than everyone else is paying.

If you are in the US its much much cheaper as they can't be slaughtered there. They still go for meat, but the over all price is so low that bottom end prices are so low http://blog.seattlepi.com/horsebytes/2008/08/04/buy-low-and-forget-about-selling/

It all depends on the personality of the animal. I have seen 10 thousand dollar horses that I wouldn't get near. I have also seen 200 dollar horses that are bomb proof. People put too much stock in pedigrees.

My favorite horse right now is a foundered Arabian gelding. He aint worth much to anyone else but I would draw down to protect him.

[–]12blackrainbows 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agreed. My mare is registered, 98% foundation and was worth a lot in her prime (I got her for next to nothing about 12 years ago, thanks to my Uncle). I know I'll never have another horse like her, but on the other hand I just got a horse for FREE because no one wanted him. He needs a few miles put on him but other than that, he's shaping up to be one hell of a horse also. The worth of a horse should be placed on it's mind, disposition and intelligence. Not it's pedigree.

Yes, it would be like your short 5'0" sister is a pony but your tall 5'9" sister is a horse.

The cutoff depends on the breed. Sport horse ponies are under 14.2 hands, but, the kind of horses that cowboys ride (quarter horses) are usually around 14 hands. They like them short because they can get on and off easily. But they don't call them "ponies".

Secondly, the things had no monetary value, obviously. So it was a loss to me, but not really a gain for the thief.

It's stupid and trivial, logically speaking. But when it happens to you, it's a real emotional blow.

Yes, yes I have. Except that instead of a pony it was a sheep, and instead of it being stolen I had sex with it.

It assumes that only rich city people have animals. OP probably didn't care to consider the possibility that it was a poor farm girl.

Shit, even if she was a rich girl who had a pony and her personal ranch, we're supposed to hate on what seems to be a pre-teen for showing an upset face when her animal friend is taken?

It hurts to lose your pets whether you are rich or poor. Within a span of 45days, I lost my two dogs. One was 12 and the other was 6.

I think having a pet stolen could be more hurtful than its death, because she loved and cared for her pony and now someone else is probably mistreating or eating her beloved pet. Doesn't really matter whether she is white, black, rich or poor- we all feel emotions the same way.

[–]tardis777 11 points12 points ago

Come on that isn't fair. A Pony is a living animal that I guarentee she loved and is in fear of if its ok or not. Of course she's sad as hell because she is a good person with empathy. You mad cause her dad is rich? Hating someone for being born rich is no different than hating someone because they were born poor. Its simply hate for the other side of an imaginary coin. Girl is probably going through hell. Not fair to hate cause her pet happens to be something you and I never had.

What if someone stole your dog? How would you feel?

Here is the thing. Not everyone who owns a pony or horse is rich. I know a lot of poor or lower class people who own horses. They put a lot of time and effort into caring for them because they are horse lovers. Just like their are people who love dogs.

Actually I think a better title would have been 'rich people's problems,' but that wouldn't have had the pithy 'white people' punch. You could say there's a reverse-reverse racism going on here too, of associating white people with wealth and the reverse assumption that nonwhite people don't have this problem, but whatever.

Btw, all that being said, it's a witty joke, nicely set up in one image. Sure, anybody losing anything is sad. But why is this news? For it to tug on our heartstrings, when there are so many other deserving targets for our pity and attention? One person in isolation losing a loved object isn't funny, but in context, considering their implied socioeconomic class when our economy is going broke, for that to be the important story that is beamed out to thousands of homes for your newsy consideration: pretty funny, and worth mocking.

In other words, the joke here is not a picture of a girl putting up a missing horse sign. That would not be funny. The joke here is a newscast covering a missing pony, and broadcasting STOLEN PONY as the headline - which, for any news organization, is kind of ridiculous - and then following that up with a sensationalistic picture of a girl crying, the manipulative equivalent of 'think of the children.' It's the combination of these elements that makes it laughable, the fact that this is even brought to your attention as BREAKING NEWS: STOLEN PONY. This is Fox News style reporting, the kind that Jon Stewart said 'hurts America,' and deeply silly at its core.

Incidentally, all good humor is a little mean - that's what gives it its edge. It's not nice to laugh at obese people, or boys who seriously injure themselves doing stunts, or humble pets being irritated by their owners, and it's definitely not nice to laugh to children being frightened or scared, but that's got to constitute about 90% of the humor everyone here is LMAO about when it's not being pointed out to you.

There really is no such thing as reverse racism. It's just racism.

Um, fuck you very much, a pony is extremely valuable and has a high sentimental value. This would be an even bigger problem for someone who is poor and makes their living off the land, so this is in fact not a "white girl problem", but a problem for anyone that owns an animal.

Somewhere in the third world is a family whose donkey was stolen and now they have to decide which kid to send to live with their cousins. You wouldn't call that a "white girl" problem, would you?

[–]twowheels 21 points22 points ago

could be a farm animal. I grew up on a horse farm & had a pony when I was a kid. We were far from rich. More like upper-poor or lower middle-class. The suburbanite kids lived better than we did (when it came to luxuries).

We also had a few cows (for a short while), and chickens.
