>Ahem...until some of us got our "panties in a
wad" over the "sweep it under the rug" attitude of the BOD last year, horse
deaths were a no-no to even discuss. The members couldn't even see a Vet
Committee Report. All "top secret". I even had a BOD member chew my butt for
posting on the issue! At least there is now an on-going discussion. It seems
that the "old timers" who have been around forever were a little "sensitive" on
this issue and weren't ABOUT to "fess up" that they had failed to address it.
Huh?? Again, in that 30 years that
you apparently find offensive, I can't think of a time when horse
death has NOT been a concern, and when it has NOT been discussed, and when good
minds have NOT been working on ways to prevent them. Quite frankly, it is
offensive that you apparently think their efforts aren't worth a
damn.
>I haven't seen YOUR signature on Matthew's proposal....or are you part
of the problem?
Uh, Jim--I don't think signing it is near as important as publicly
supporting it--or haven't you read my all-too-frequent posts on the
subject??
>Longevity doesn't offend me....with age comes wisdom....I'm old enough
to know. What offends me is the lack of concern for the welfare of our horses
because opinions are rooted in the past and justified by "experience and
longevity".. <sigh>
Please justify those comments in response to my
posts. OR in response to my actions. I find the insinuation that I
am not concerned to be VERY offensive, quite frankly. And I stand by my
comments that action is far more eloquent than emoting.
