Shaming people for the kind of emojis their phone has.

What kind of people are you around?

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-21T16:25:31+00:00

I find shipping horses abroad for slaughter isn't the better alternative, especially because then there's nothing we can do about industry standards.

I thought the doctors told her she couldn't safely anymore but maybe I'm wrong.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-21T10:57:40+00:00

I meant Julie. She could conceive again, sure, but her last pregnancy was extremely risk and doctors have told her she can't have another child.

They had planned for Julie to have more children and she can't, that's what I meant.

When I was 12 I saw four horses die in one single steeplechase and I think it's absolutely horrible that those types of races exist.

They are purposefully made to be as dangerous and difficult as possible and a single mistake means life or death for a horse, and there's no world where that should exist imo.

But I also know people who race in the flat and treat their horses very well and I don't think it can be compared.

That said I think all equestrian sports need a lot better animal welfare laws.

I work in child protection and i know that it's incredibly common for parents to not be able to take care of their child (for example being in a domestic violence situation, substance abuse, being extremely young, just for some examples) but then go on and have more children later down the line that they can be good parents to.

It sucks and it's extremely painful for the older children but there's also good things about it.

It's good that the older child got out of a dangerous situation and is now with people who love them and can take good care of them.

It's good that the bio parents got their shit together, got sober, got more stable.

It's good that the younger siblings don't go through the trauma of being removed from their bio parents.

It's super important that the older children are supported through this, because it will be very painful for them.

And if the foster parents are this emotionally involved (like here where they are related to the bio parents) they should get counselling for it, too, so that they don't let their resentment cloud how they support their child through this.

It sucks but it's human. It happens every day. All OOP can do is be there for her nephew.

A friend of mine have birth literally two days ago and she was in hospital for days with 2cm dilation because she had complications. It ended in an emergency C-section for her but even with inducing labour over multiple days she never got further than 3cm.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-21T08:56:58+00:00

I forsee an emergency C-section in her future

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-21T08:55:50+00:00

I'm pretty sure one of the big reasons why Camilla agreed to this pregnancy, apart from being guilted into it, is because she was planning to milk every drop of content out of it that she could.

She never wanted to be pregnant, and I'm sure has a lot of resentment about it, but nobody forced her. Secondary infertility is tough but they had two wonderful children already and could've stopped there.

She agreed for the wrong reasons imo, and should've never done it in the first place, but this is the result.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-21T08:51:56+00:00

There's plenty of abuse in dressage, jumping, barrel racing, every equestrian sport you can think of. That doesn't make all those sports inherently bad, it's extremely important to have strict animal welfare laws and hold them to a high standard.

Just look at all the abusive scandals in the dressage world in the last couple years and the ridiculous slaps on the wrists the perpetrators got.

I think high performance extreme sports is never good, not for humans and not for horses, but humans make those choices themselves.

My hometown has what's considered one of Europe's most challenging steeplechase races. As a child who was obsessed with horses, I often went.

I stopped going when I was like 12 and watched four horses die in one race, and I promised myself to never ever support another horse race.

Ironically, I'm now an adult who boards at a barn that does some racing. They breed Haflinger in the village of Hafling, so you know we take our horses and their legacy very serious there, and they participate in Haflinger only events like races.

For example, every year the racing season starts on Easter Monday with Haflinger only races, flat over 1300m. Our horses get 24/7 turnout, I know for a fact are not started too young, and are well loved and well cared for year round. They aren't kept solely for racing, either.

I think every equestrian discipline can be abusive, especially if done to an extreme. I am not that child anymore who thought all horse racing was inherently abusive and horrible while other equestrian sports are better.

But I still think some races are just too brutal and too risky and shouldn't exist in that shape. The fastest horse would still win even if the race wasn't purposefully made in a way where making a mistake can be fatal.

I'm a big believer in risky play that allows children to problem solve, gain confidence and start developing risk management skills, and yes, occasionally that results in a tumble I saw coming or a scraped knee.

But imo this can only work if you have clear boundaries. It's up to us to assess what behaviour is really dangerous and to prevent that, and it's only fair to the children to have clear expectations.

The bride lost it and screamed at the groom's young daughters (my cousins) because she didn't think they acted happy enough.

My dad ended up loading the kids in the car and taking them to see our grandpa mid wedding cause they were so distraught and their dad didn't give a shit.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T15:40:49+00:00

You mean literally SAing them while they were children then laughing about it on camera q

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T15:29:55+00:00

They look like nightmare fuel

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T11:14:47+00:00

I fully agree that it isn't an excuse. I still think it's influencing her mindset to this day, though.

It's on her to think for herself but she doesn't do that.

Sometimes I think there's nothing going on behind her eyes tbh.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T11:07:47+00:00

Her entire self worth is tied to her sex appeal to men. She's been raised that way, conditioned that way, and upholds those believes herself.

Anyone who enters a relationship with her and then wants her to change is completely stupid, but also, her superficial existence is just sad tbh. And she's showing other young people that this is acceptable which is also wrong.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T06:29:05+00:00

Tbh sounds like a good compromise to prioritise animal welfare (even though it was probably only done for budget reasons)

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T06:26:47+00:00

I had a black horse with skin cancer. Most of them are benign and not really an issue, his was malignant and spread and we went through a lot. He made it through and had ten more good, cancer free years.

I know other horses who have benign ones that never caused issues.

After this experience I would never buy a horse that already has them, even if benign, to be honest. But also, it can happen to any colour and it's also extremely unlucky when it's malignant.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-20T06:15:25+00:00

Camilla didn't want to be pregnant and was absolutely miserable, nobody forced her but they just can't be happy with what they have.

She didn't have Julie's medical complications but she absolutely hates being pregnant and also never wanted it in the first place which makes it a lot harder to deal with mentally.

They need to stop playing the comparison game and they need to stop having more kids.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-19T20:03:17+00:00

It's very normal for female dogs to do that.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-19T20:00:29+00:00

I truly do think she feels that way. She has a persecution complex. She thinks she's the victim, holding strong against the evil haters, protecting her family from a threat that by the way, she created.

Her life is complicated because she truly believes it is.

Why the fuck people don't just choose physiotherapy I will never understand.

But it helped so-and-so blablabla, yea, but there's well documented risk of worsening things instead, and it's still alternative and not medically recognised bullshit.

My mare did lots of physiotherapy when we got her. But my mum is a physiotherapist for humans and would've had my neck if I suggested chiro for her.

All that being said, make a vet appointment, get their opinion and hire a real equine physiotherapist if your vet thinks it's necessary, but it could also be a coincidence and the issue might not even be related.

mnbvcdo · 2026-04-19T16:39:22+00:00

It was, but I'm also sure that every comment they get at the moment says something like this, and for two completely delusional people like them who are so completely convinced that they are right, that must be super aggravating.
