Based on this photo alone...

1) what kind of horse am I on?

2) how do you know?

3) what should the vet pay special attention to on this horse during a pre-purchase exam and how can you tell just from the photo?

Here’s a further hint...

This was the first correct answer (and first reply—obviously from someone who knows the breed, politely letting everyone else have a go by only answering the question that doesn’t give away the others!)

🧵 A THREAD IN WHICH I REVIEW BEING BITTEN BY VARIOUS ANIMALS

1. GOAT 🐐

Overall a soft and gummy bite, often with a faint bouquet of fermented grain. Near-prehensile lips make the whole experience rather cute. Only downside is the painful accompanying headbutt. 4/5 stars.

2. CALIFORNIA KINGSNAKE

Startlingly swift, a thing of beauty to observe. No fangs, just teeth. Perplexing belief by snake that a human finger can in fact be swallowed by an eighteen-inch animal adds a quirky, vintage charm. Drew blood, but wounds healed quickly.

3.5/5 stars.

3. AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOG 🦔

A rare bite, suitable for connoisseurs, best obtained by offering a sweaty hand to a hedgehog craving salt. Brief, sharp pinch, no lasting effects. Humor value added by hedgehog’s tendency to react to taste of human by hissing.

5/5 top notch bite

We need to pull cops from the market and cancel all current cop appointments, there are just too many fatal side effects associated with the cop as opposed to widely available alternative products such as social worker and teacher

If your city presently is scheduled to receive cop, please contact us to reschedule your city to get a shot of mental health infrastructure & economic development instead

Perhaps we can return cop to the market in some form under an emergency use authorization after cop has been studied and guns have been removed.

When you hear that an unhoused person “refused services” that includes...

- refused to give up their pet to get a short-term hotel room
- the shelter they were offered a space in isn’t safe for their gender/sexuality
- couldn’t consolidate all their belongings into two bags

People will literally be classified as “offered housing but declined” if they have tools for a job they do when they can and didn’t want to leave all their tools in a public park to be stolen just to get a hotel room worth less than the cost of re-buying all those tools

@selahnhc

There are some private organizations like @selahnhc (I heard this information from one of their volunteers on his podcast) that help with storage but with all the money taxpayers voted for housing services LA still doesn’t own a storage facility for people’s belongings

I’m still on Facebook mostly because I have a friend who runs a wildlife rescue and had to keep a bobcat that’s unreleasable because he was dropped on his head by a hawk as a kitten and doesn’t understand he’s a predator

It’s an absolute Pixar movie. Fennel is his favorite toy.

This bobcat is not bright.

I cannot overstate how not bright he is.

An apex predator in his natural ecosystem, meant to patrol a range of multiple square miles and terrorize smaller wildlife, in captivity he has taken up sunbathing and eating vegetables.

Keeping a apex predator with two working brain cells is still expensive as hell, so you can buy this ridiculous potato some fennel here: forfoxsakewildlife.com/support-our-wo…

He’ll be an education animal in schools, post-pandemic, because he probably thinks he IS a human third grader.
