They/their/them iias a singular pronoun was made up by certain people.

[-]

This is simply absurd. I'm not a native English speaker, but this is such an elementary aspect that I would expect you (a native speaker, I presume) to know how the pronoun "they" is used in English. This is not a political matter and has nothing to do with woke ideology.

[-]

TemporaryExit5@reddit

why tf are you so worked up over this ?? who the fuck cares dude, and how is this even woke at all (not like it matters) ?

[-]

Rosencrant@reddit

Shakespeare used they / their / them when the gender of a singular person wasn't defined. This has been a thing for a few century in English.

Try to learn some things on a subject you have strong opinion about before scolding others.

Even if the use of they / their / them in that way was recent, that's the thing about languages they evolve over time. The only problems I see are your insecurities and intellectual deficiencies. Not a native speaker and I know more about your own language than you... you have 0 reason to patronize anyone.

[-]

HelpMePlxoxo@reddit

People can shit on country folk but I'll tell you what: I've never met a group of people less wasteful. They eat EVERYTHING they kill just out of principle.

My grandpappy even made my aunt eat an opossum once. And my brother had to eat a squirrel he shot.

[-]

ASAF_Telis@reddit

Not really "farm", but from the places farms are from. My grandma wouldn't let her children eat the "wildcats" that my grandpa hunted. He would still eat it, tho.

I guess she wanted to educate the children to not have any chance of ever eating regular pet from random people (something they would easily do, given their lack of resources, and maybe my grandpa probably did before one of the times he got shot). Still, even though my mom merged too well into "city culture", i can still see this "avoid wasting" behavior on her by the way she simply comes home after work, mixes whatever is cooked and some fruits/vegetables, and eat it all together without heating it, even when she is not really hungry.

LethalCandy@reddit

Why waste a shotgun shell when you could achieve the same result with a metal pipe and also get a quick workout in?

[-]

revanisthesith@reddit

I've spent a decent amount of time around horses and they're not the sturdiest of animals. If you have the element of surprise and can land that first whack strongly, you could absolutely cripple a horse before it could do much to you.

[-]

jobitus@reddit

A fuming man coming in with a pipe has little in the way of surprise. Mounted cops are called in to melee riots all the time.

[-]

uvT2401@reddit

Mounted cops are not there to fight, they are used to break up the crowd. Once I saw a cavarly charge first hand and it was fucking terrifying how fast it broke up our crowd.

[-]

revanisthesith@reddit

Mounted cops have nothing to do with this.

It's his property and his horse, so the horse knew him. He was able to walk into the paddock holding the pipe.

And like I said, as long as you can solidly land that first swing in a right place, you can disable the horse enough that it can't fight back very well. The horse will still see you swinging, but it's pretty doable.

It’s something about those farmers, i swear. My grandpa had a real temper when he was around and working his farm. 2 separate occasions i remember him killing a cow/bull.

He beat the cow to death with a 2x4 after it tried to hurt him. They believe it might have had something wrong with its brain (before he beat it to death).

And then they had a really nasty bull. That one gored my grandpa and broke his back. He just used a gun for that, since he figured he probably should probably go to the hospital.

Animals are more brutal cause they can't communicate like humans. They'll use violence to challenge your dominance.

If you back off or let the animal have any leeway, they'll try to take you down sooner or later to be the "leader".

I guess farmers have this in the back of their heads and they'll need to show they are the boss to keep all animals in check.

I could be wrong through.

[-]

naturalbornsinner@reddit

Only if they suddenly think you're a threat and feel like they need to defend themselves... It's probably more reflex than a conscious decision to do so... You know. Survival in the wild and all that jazz.

Lesson should be. Never stand behind a horse if you enjoy breathing.

[-]

Delicious-Furniture@reddit

Why horses don't kick each other to death then?

[-]

naturalbornsinner@reddit

Ofc they do it all the time. The ones that survive learned to not sneak up on one another and also to deal the most lethal of blows.

Survivorship bias and all that.

[-]

Scary_Cup6322@reddit

Honestly not even that bad. All you need to do is make shure they now you're there. You know, make sure they saw you walking or walk loudly. Horses aren't skittish insta-death machines, especially well raised ones.

Granted though, you really have no reason to be behind one for long. Unless you're working in the type of business "making" horses and it's giving birth, in which case my condolences, grew up that type of farm, had to help out during births multiple times, pretty gross.

[-]

bartardbusinessman@reddit

do not listen to this guy giving out dumb and dangerous advice to strangers on the internet. even if a horse “knows” you’re there or you feel you’ve expressed to the horse you’re going behind it, it is still extremely dangerous to stand behind a horse at any time.

mate telling people it can be okay is just plain irresponsible

[-]

Scary_Cup6322@reddit

Brother I've grown up around them, obviously standing behind them is dump, even if a well raised horse shouldn't kick you just because, there's no reason to keep standing behind them.

However just walking past them isn't gonna make them kick you so long as they know you're there and are familiar with you.

Granted, maybe i should've specified that the horse should actually know you, but "don't approach animals you don't know" seemed self evident at the time.

[-]

bartardbusinessman@reddit

Yeah I also grew up around them and unless you’re a vet or a farrier you have no business behind a horse whatsoever. They’re prey animals, they get frightened by anything sudden and have a natural fear of things being behind them. There’s no advice to give out to the general public except “never stand behind a horse”.

If we need a case study give got one. A woman worked for my dad on our farm with the horses. One day she was in the walker with a few horses and was behind one of them when she stopped the walker turning. She must’ve bent down or something just at that moment because when the barrier in front of the horse jumped back just a couple centimeters, which it always did, the horse kicked out and hit her in the head. She was wearing a helmet, still spent some weeks in a coma and to this day can’t work. Just don’t go behind horses

[-]

SchizPost01@reddit

Am I dumb for thinking it might be best to treat a horse like a gun and just assume it’s always loaded ? lol.

[-]

hurtsmeplenty@reddit

The thing is, horses are pretty fucking stupid and prone to panicking over stupid things. I work with racehorses. Some are complete assholes and I don't ever turn my back to them. Most wouldn't hurt a human intentionally, but when something spooks them and they panic, they aren't thinking straight and if you aren't paying attention you are liable to get hurt. So yes, it's a good idea to treat the animal like it's a fucking weapon because all it can take is one good kick to kill you.

[-]

TimBroth@reddit

The difference is really only in if it's a horse you are familiar with, for random horse encounters that's probably a safe strategy

[-]

an_achronist@reddit

Nope. I grew up near farmland and there were plenty of horses around. Every single adult my friends and I encountered would always remind you to be careful around the horses

[-]

CerifiedHuman0001@reddit

I keep a hand on my horses when I need to get behind them. Helps them know where I am.

[-]

skike@reddit

Yep. This is just a good habit, it's one i still do no matter how familiar i am with a horse.

I was a certified bwfa farrier for a few years so I've learned the hard way to not only always keep contact with the horse (initiated within their eyesight), and to always be as close as you can to the horse.

It's just not worth the risk otherwise.

[-]

-Benjamin_Dover-@reddit

I thought if you're gonna stand near a horse and not be in it's direct line of sight, you should get into it's line of sight, put your hand on its body, and keep a hand on its body the entire time you circle the horse.

[-]

-JackOfNoTrades-@reddit

It’s more of a relationship thing that you have with your horse. If your horse knows and trusts you, you can walk behind them whenever and all that, but if they don’t… then yea you might get kicked tf out. Although much like a cow the closer you walk the less it’s gonna hurt. Another tip, cows kick to the side, horses kick back

[-]

Contemporarium@reddit

I had a friend that did that thing where you ride a horse super fast towards a pole and then have the horse do a super 180 around it and keep going. She was morbidly obese but somehow was great at it.

She’d just walk up behind them hoes and hug them from the back I’m like YO BITCH NAAAAAH

Like just cuz you can doesn’t mean you should. Fuck allat

[-]

simatrawastaken@reddit

Ive been bit by a horse, still have a small scar on my finger. They just like to lick and chew on you and sometimes they bite down too hard.

They aren't aggressive creatures normally, they are just really fucking strong and huge

[-]

Contemporarium@reddit

Yeah most domesticated animals do do that. Like cats (especially kittens) or dogs. My Great Dane could shred me but she knows to be gentle. It still hurts sometimes but I’m sure horses for the most part don’t mean it.

I own legal raccoons as well and they are the worst with knowing their bite strength. Playful bites will end up giving you a scar but they’re SO SORRY after it’s adorable while you’re holding your bloody hand and they’re trying to wrap their hands around the paper towel like “OMFG IM SO SORRY OMG I..hmmm..I like how this paper towel feels..wonder what it tastes like OH THATS RIGHT LOVE YOU SORRY” lmao. They’re the best tho

[-]

FunnyWalrus@reddit

At least for cats i can say that those who are friendly and playful most of the time can control bite force very well

When my cat playing with me and sometimes chew my hand it's usually not painful at all, unpleasant at max (only my mom used to describe it as painful, because she had a very thin skin due to chemotherapy), or when the cat is freaking out at the vet due to stress and was trying to bite vet or me - it was not to hurt, but to show she doesn't like it

But when this fucker is accidentally biting your finger when you hold some long treats for her to chew it properly - instant hole in a finger with blood, of course without any ill intentions, she just eating too fast sometimes

[-]

simatrawastaken@reddit

Awwwww now I want pet raccoons (even more) lol, they seem really cool but thats even better.

Where are you? (Dont need to be too specific, just curious about where you legally can have pet raccoons) how did you get them?

[-]

Contemporarium@reddit

Midwest US. We had to tell some fibs because you’re only allowed to have them if you got them from a breeder in a legal state but the game warden showed up unannounced after we requested a license and we were terrified but he said the conditions were okay and a couple months later we got our license to have them.

What rly happened though is a mama raccoon either died while scavenging for her babies or abandoned them and one of them was scrappy and wouldn’t leave our porch and kept trying to come in. My roommate couldn’t just let nature do its thing so we made sure she didn’t have rabies and then brought her in and bottle fed her along with her brother who we found on our grass that we doubted would make it through the night but they both survived to our surprise!

Wanna know a fun fact? They have never had an accident in or outside of the cage since the first day we put a tiny litter box in their first cage. They just knew to use it. They’re way more hygienic than you’d assume

[-]

simatrawastaken@reddit

Midwest, cool. Im on the west coast, where its a little more strict. Good to know that theres places where you can get a license though.

Glad you were able to save the baby raccoons, they're so adorable I love them. I totally understand, I'd adopt them as well.

They sound better than my cats lol, they used to shit on towels, blankets, jackets etc if we left them laying around. They still vomit wherever they feet like (they're bulimic), and they don't even cover up after they poop so I have to do it for them if I don't want it to stink constantly.

[-]

Alarmed_River_4507@reddit

Horses know what a child is, and it lunged and bit her to the point of excessive bleeding (running down her neck) and hospitalization. Not normal. Most animals would be rightly put down for such unprompted and dangerous aggression

Mahjling@reddit

This is not weird behavior for a horse at all.

Horses are easily frightened and are as likely to fight as flight, stallions especially can be absolutely violent animals, in the wild they will severely injure one another in fights and gladly stomp foals to death.

It’s important for people to remember that livestock is dangerous. Herbivores are often especially dangerous, horses can absolutely be gentle, I grew up around them, but they can also be ornery. And again, stallions can be nightmare animals, especially young Stallions who are just being pumped full of testosterone.

I have no idea why op and his sister were allowed around them alone at that age and their grandfather is both stupid and deranged. You never. Ever. Let a child around a horse unsupervised for exactly this reason, especially stallions. And if it does happen it’s the adult’s fault, not the horse’s

As I was had a job as paperboy I always took a shortcut through a pasture with a horse. Also never a problem... except one day this asshole of a horse attacked me.

As with all animals, including us humans, there are simply those who are bigger assholes than others. There is also aggressive species that can spawn gentle exemplars. Doesn't mean that most of them aren't aggressive.

But I've heard from biting horses before. It's just that those horses usually don't have a long life.

[-]

sexhaver34567@reddit

Disagree. All the fully grown, non-draft horses I know are assholes and they shouldn't be let anywhere near small children and animals because they will absolutely bite them provided they've never seen them before. Draft horses tend to be super kind though. Literally gentle giants.

But if you look at race horses, they are bullies in my experience.

Farmers are a reminder of how brutal the world really is; they’re the crucial initial step away from our hunter/gatherer days but some of that sometimes necessary savagery remains.

Unc 100% had a shotgun ready to go but decided “nah this is personal” and grabbed a piece of scrap laying around the barn. Damn lol

My aunt and uncle used to have horses. One of the horses would constantly resist pretty much anything that didn't involve food or freedom. One day when he tried to mount the horse, it reared back so far that it fell over and partly landed on him. He was so furious that he picked up a 2 x 4 and hit it between the ears as hard as he could. The horse never gave him any trouble after that.

Anyone tried to beat a horse with a iron before? Cause if the first blow doesn't kill them, the counter mach 1 kick will do you first

Just hit em in the legs first? Or square in the cranium would probably do fine too

beetlesin@reddit

a violent animal isn’t one you wanna have around on a ranch, or around people

[-]

tonyabstract@reddit

yeah so put it down immediately. don’t torture it

I'm far from an expert but is that even violent enough to warrant putting down? Horses can be assholes and two little children are an easy opportunity for some fun. Why the fuck were the two allowed near the horse unsupervised? That's a far bigger problem.

the line between violent animal and neglectful parent is razor thin

I'd say it's a fence but clearly those adults weren't on the other side.

People heal better when they're well fed.

Beat horse to death
Cut/rip chunks off
Heat them up and feed to child

What a terrible story.

I understand the scare but they shouldn't be with animals that size on their own at that age. I'm pretty sure that if there was animosity behind the attack the kid would be much worse than just a head bite.

Farmers have like dozens of animals, do expect them to keep an army of men around just so their kids could go out and play??

Ideally you would want something like that but it's just not possible.

I guess don't kill a horse for acting like a horse if you're not going to keep an eye on the kids. This could have just been a learning experience for the kids to not get too close to animal much bigger than them.
