Comments on: Angry Letter: Won’t someone think of the horses? http://www.ericdsnider.com/blog/2007/11/13/angry-letter-wont-someone-think-of-the-horses/ Eric D. Snider's blog.

Not that I disagree with you, and in fact I respect the cool and calm manner in which you replied, but I am former horse loving teen and current horse veterinarian. If 40 years is not enough time to grow out of a phase, then I don't know what is. I appreciate her empathy for the animal, but the fact that she payed no mind to the rider shows either her ignorance that there is two being in the photo or her maliciousness towards the human race (which may be why she showed herself and Eric zero respect). The stripper comment was a low blow, and I hope untrue since I named my daughter Amber. I will have to keep a closer eye on her now...

I'm a big fan of cats myself, but I wouldn't bore my coworkers with the cat-thing because she's not human and a lot of people don't even like cats, let alone tolerate long, dull tales about them. At least my kids are people for heaven's sake and when people ask about them, I'm likely to tell them. Well yeah, but at least their kids are human, born of their own flesh.

I think I'm a bit scared to admit I own a horse. And I still read the blog.......! Kathleen- I don't force horses down my coworkers throats though, but do you reckon they extend me the same courtesy about their boring kids? I think not. Please, do tell me what little Sammy, and Jasmine, and Ronnie and Cindy did over the weekend, I'm really excited to know. Truly. *sigh* oh dear.
