Join the herd. First, they came for the horses pulling carriages. Then the ponies giving rides to children. Then, the elephants in the circus, and the homeless man’s dog, and the chickens on the farm, and the horses in Hollywood, and the sled dogs and the border collies herding sheep. Then, they will come for you, as this open-hearted and transparent farmer discovered.  More about the awful troubles of Joshua and Wendy Rockwood here. Ignorance about horses threatens the New York Carriage Horses. Ignorance about animals and farming threatens the life of a farmer.

If you can, join the herd. For their sake. For our sake. For yours. Today, they came for him Next, for all of us.
