LOL- I was at a cruelty call with a NY State
Trooper and while I was looking at the dead horse, the one who was still alive
started toward the un-horsey trooper. He got scared, pulled out his mace
and sprayed at the curious horse. The wind blew the spray back in his
face, and he slipped in the mud and split his pants. I thought I would
bust a gut. He was pretty good about it!
Another story about his same officer, a few weeks
later when he and I returned to seize the live horses (after an
'equipment' repair) - the owners were known rough necks and the son was
threatening us and using some really bad language, and then disappeared into the
house (trailer). The officer was getting a little nervous (but not as much
as when the horse came near him!) and mentioned that if something should happen
and he should 'go down', there was a rifle in his car. He asked me if I
knew how to use a rifle.....I said no, but I sure as heck knew how to use his
car!!!
