If you know anything about horses

This is completely normal

That idea of “They are majestic creatures, so noble” is overstated. Horses are scared assholes most of the time.

Plastic bags caught on barbed wire fences have probably caused more panic induced injuries than all the real dangers horse have ever encountered.  

*bag flutters in wind*

“Fuuucckkk!! Wolves! Shit! Save me human!”

*throws rider into the fence and runs for the horizon*

“Human is cold please help”

*puts on blanket*

“NOT WHAT I MEANT FUCK YOU IM GONNA DIE”

*ten seconds later*

“This has always been here i don’t know what came over me I’m sorry human”

Horses are majestic idiots.

This is why they put blinders on work horses, isn’t it? So they have no peripheral visions and can’t freak out when something happens just on the edge of their view that they can’t quite be sure of

I suppose you should tell the stupid grass story

alright, so adding to the proof that horses are too dumb to exist, I have two geldings who I keep out on approximately 9 acres of pasture. So I go out to check on them one afternoon right after I get back home from class (I had checked on them before class as and they were both fine) and one of them had their eye swollen up to about the size of a tennis ball.

(that’s his eye the day it happened)

So I call the vet out, and when he arrived he immediately numbed his eye and started spooning out “cheese” aka a more pleasant way of saying extreme amounts of white pus from under his eyelid. At first Berrie (my horse) didn’t resist the sterile swabs that were spooning the goop out of his eye, but after a few minutes he started to get sick of it and so we sedated him. One sedation and eye test strip later the vet determined that he had a puncture wound that went into his eye, and noted that based on the size and location that the most likely culprit was, get this, a grass stem.

And that is how my horse has a)made himself half blind and b)damned himself to the fate of eternally wearing a fly mask to prevent him from stabbing his eye again

What’s the worst situation Deira has been in fight wise?

ask-shiotaro-and-co:

Oh gods, that’s probably just before he was turned into a shadow! Deira and Naeme go on adventures constantly and fight things deemed as evils! They ventured into a cave that lead to the realm of darkness, the Underdark, and fell from being outnumbered by a swarm of Fears. Nocturne found the two before they would have died, only catching them with a sliver of life left.

I REMENER WATCHING IT WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 2013 IR SIMETHING AND NOW THERE’S A SIXPENCEEE POST ABT IT!!!!!!

I remember an idea of “sexual innocence” about the video someone shared, where he friends turned into monsters because of sexual deviancy and she was opened to a new world filled with things of that nature. Her eyes lighting on fire and her bldy collapsing was thought to be her virginity dying.

Addressing PETA’s Anti-Wool Campaign

askafarmer:

Fair warning, the picture PETA published, which I will be including, is gory and bloody.

So here we go.

A few weeks ago, I first saw this PETA campaign picture:

As someone who works with sheep and shears sheep to pay for extra expenses, I was outraged. I had no clue what they did to that poor lamb (Found out its a foam replica). Besides the fact that it looks too small to shear, it looks like someone took a chain saw to it, or it was skinned not sheared.

So I wanted to address this. In shearing a sheep, goat, cow, or pig, you do not want to cut the animal. If its done right, you will not cut the animal. I know its hard not to let nicks happen. Animals move, jump, and flinch. Most shearers take very good care of their animals. If I, for example as a shearer, cut up the sheep I’ve been assigned to shear to the point where they have open and bleeding cuts, I would not be asked back. I would not have another job. Word gets around fast about shearers that hurt and cut up the sheep. Several years ago, there was a group of guys that sheared sheep for the members of the local herding dog club. They mishandled sheep and just moved speedily through them, leaving ewes bloody and stressed. You wanna know what happened to that group? They’re no longer in business. They don’t shear because word got around that they mishandled the animals.

I will say, shearing sheep is a tiring job that will leave you sore at the end of the day, no matter if you do one sheep or one hundred. I only average 3-6 sheep a day, so I have to give it to any shearer that shears whole herds in a day, from 30-100. Its hard work, but they do a good job.

Shearing, in its process, is simple. You restrain the sheep, either by setting it on its rear off its feet or tying it to the fence. You have to restrain the sheep or you could injure it if it tries to run or squirm. You then use a set of shears, manual or electric, to shave off the hair. Its just like how we shave, but we use a razor. Sheep are not hurt, and the process can be from a few minutes to an hour (like me). Shearers are paid by the quantity of sheep (usually) not the hours of work. This means that the shearers can spend the time to make sure the sheep get sheared right.

Below, I’m posting some pictures of what sheep really look like after they’ve been sheared:

These are from two different herds that I helped with this past spring. It was a relief for these sheep to be sheared.

But why do we shear sheep?

We sheer sheep for a variety of reasons. For the number one reason, its to remove the hair from the sheep. Sheep started as being used for wool and meat. Early sheep farmers cut off the sheep’s wool to be used for clothing, bedding, and other clothe items that came with eating the sheep too.

Now, farms that raise sheep for anything but wool or hair production, we shear the sheep to keep them comfortable. Where I’m from and where I go to college now, its not unusual for temperatures to be over 100 degrees F for the majority of the day, sheep with a full coat of wool/hair are miserable! It can also be deadly. They can’t cool down like they should and are very susceptible to over heating and heat stroke. That’s why we shear in the spring, before it gets too hot. It also allows the sheep to grow a little bit of wool back to act as sunscreen. We also shear off the wool/hair yearly to keep sheep clean. As sheep poop and pee, it gets on their wool/hair. As their wool/hair grows, it can cover up the sheep’s back end, and eventually, the anus of the sheep. That will make it very easy for bacteria to get back up into the sheep’s body and make them sick or even kill them.

So in conclusion, this sums up my point:

Shearing the sheep doesn’t hurt it. It certainly doesn’t kill the sheep. Its actually beneficial for the sheep to be sheared.
