Yes, looking on the positives make it less hurtful. Added to that the horse is alive- even worse would have been if it had to be put down. I have my envelope addressed already for a donation via snail mail.
Oh, beside the point I know, but up here in snowy Ontario, Saturday. I spied a little lost Yorkie Terrier. It was running aimlessly. I called the local humane society and a cheerful employee collected it. About three people all fired up to adopt it. Nobody seems to own it. They say it has a bladder infection and will keep it for another seven days.
Not beside the point at all. Just another example of the goodness in the hearts of some vs. the meaness in others.
