[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 255256, member: 3319"] Well,not trying to raise heck, but in a large circulation farm magazine a couple years ago there was an article on this nice couple that was retiring after 50 years of farming. The only thing they intended to do was continue with their miniatue horse breeding activities. I am sorry I forget the specifics on exact breed but the things were smaller than a pony and multi-colour coated. The next week there was a reply story to the retirement story. The reply was the most insulting, condemning almost hateful piece I have ever seen ( outside of this forum :lol: :lol: ). The lady replying stated that breeding these types of animals was animal cruelty, as they were breeding for traits that were a deformity. She said the animals almost always needed to be put down at an earlier age because of bone structure defects, and that they were in pain from an early age. There must have been something to what she said, to have that letter printed in the first place, and the following week the retiring couple wrote in saying they were getting out of breeding the little beggars! We currently own a miniature donkey ( due to foal in 2 weeks ) and I find the whole topic interesting. I guess I really don't care what other folks breed ( beef wise ) as long as it is humane, and it doesn't undermine the beef industry. [/QUOTE]
