oh hell yes, my sistah! You testify! That site made me shudder all the way down to the bone. Pony looks a mite unhappy there,and the lion looks kind of old. They look in good nick but it just looks/feels all wrong.

dude. are you yet to go to bed or have you gotten up early???????

[maggies_lens]

I was night shifting, like I will be tonight. I work from 6pm to 6am, 4 nights. I then have 6 days off, then I come back and work for 4 days 6am to 6pm, and have two days off. Then it starts again. :-)

The little box popped up over the link and from there I refused to click it. No further sentences needed... I don't know why people are giving you such shit. You were upset by the picture, and that was all. Back OFF people!

yeah, i get the little box, too. i can choose to do what i want from there.

doesn't everybody get that???

The wording of that fuckwits response to you seriously raised my hackles. Grr. Who IS that, anyway? I've never seen him/her post before... troll? Asshole. >:(

:) i'm glad youre MY friend.

i've never seen them before either.

it was definitely the wording that pissed me off. and then claiming it was a neutral comment? my ass!

Yeh, I've been seeing that photo in the papers lately ... I was tempted to post it under 'bad riding' just for black humours sake, but I thought I'd probably end up with too many complaints.

What gets me, though, is that if you HADN'T given a warning ... people would have been like, "that's sick!" and so on. So I don't think you could've won either way. :(

Personally, I found this horrific (the photo I mean. The comments you got are just fail). What got me the most is that this is a freakin' ZOO! Bad enough in a circus, but a zoo?! Jesus. How anyone (and this goes for some of the people who replied to you, actually) can think it's oki or 'not that bad' needs their heads examining. I've nothing against using horses to perform etc., providing they're looked after and trained adequetly (major sp there). But big cats are a huuuuuge no-no, and putting predator and prey animals together like that...?? ARGH. Plus, this poor pony was also carrying around a 32 stone tiger. That's only a very little horse.

yup. you just worded exactly what i think. i don't disagree with using horses to perform (tho i'd prefer they didn't). it was just the predator/prey thing that made me so upset. i actually cried when i first saw that picture, it was horrible. Jed was saying that one of the radio presenters was trying to convince the other that it was a funny picture. she was like, "uhm, no. it's not." he compared it to training a monkey to ride a chicken.

nothing like it, imo! i'd much rather see a monkey on a chicken - they don't have years of instinctualised terror built in there! unless there's a breed of chicken eating monkeys somewhere. maybe those carnivorous chimps in africa somewhere.

I could not beleive some of the replies. Very shocking. Stupid people.
