Putting the horse before the cart.
This morning I stopped by the Farmers' Market in Santa Monica. Farmers' Markets are pretty happy places -- free samples, fresh fruits and vegetables, live music, and delicious hot food. Kids. Parents. Young people. Old people. Everyone seems to have a good time-- well, almost everyone.
Apparently, according to the pony whisperers such as you see pictured, the ponies were not having a good time.
I'm all for free speech and for advocacy -- but protesting pony rides? Seriously? I mean, there's a war going on, social security is on the chopping block, and kids are letting their underwear show in Virginia.
I say animal lovers everywhere would do better to protest the repeal of a 30 year old ban that makes it okay now to capture and slaughter wild horses in the West. Fortunately, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention bill is currently before Congress. Personally, I think this would do more to further the equine cause than saving ponies from yuppie toddlers.
