I’m sure the people of the small Canadian town of Caledon are, by and large, good and decent folks. They can’t all be as unpleasant as the resident who wants a neighboring family’s allegedly smelly miniature pony removed, despite the fact that the pony is used for therapeutic riding by a young boy with cerebral palsy. And here I thought that all Canadians were genetically predisposed to amiability and civic-mindedness. How disheartening to realize that they are just as susceptible to moments of dickish behavior as the rest of us. But I have yet to hear anything bad about New Zealanders, so perhaps humanity isn’t completely irredeemable.
Well mark I did something I never thought I would… at the bottom of the article were alot of comments and someone had posted all the emails of the mayor and city councel… I emailed them all the same email of course …but how sad that people are so selfish…
thanks for shareing that…I hope that child gets to keep his pony.
That’s terrible. Tonight I saw a miniature horse on Animal Planet that is a seeing eye horse for a blind man. There’s a story about it below. I had no idea until today that little horses were being put to work!
