[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 121111, member: 60"] Raising heck about this situation will do nothing but get you branded as "that crazy Animals Rights person", you'll be the laughingstock of the salebarn, nobody will want to associate with you, and it won't change a thing. The "good old boys" used to love it when my mother would go to sales with Dad, she would find something to complain about with every single animal that went through. I remember her screams one time when a calf came in with no tail -- she was sure that someone had pulled it off. The whole place cracked up at her expense. On the other hand, they didn't want her to set foot on their property in case she thought they were abusing their animals and nobody wants to deal with Animal Control, if they don't have to. In the future you have 3 choices -- #1 get tough, #2 don't go to the sales, or #3 plan on having enough money to buy the animals that grab your heartstrings the most -- with a bit of knowledge, it can be quite profitable AND you've helped the animal without alienating possible future friends.
