I'm not posting this to really start serious discourse or anything, but more as a 'vent' / 'bringing attention' sort of post. Is it really THIS hard NOT to do stupid shit? That ultimately reflects on those of us who are decent folks? If this dude is caught, it's not going to be nice for him either in MA.

IMO, dude outright raped SOMEONE ELSE'S horse. I'd agree that this dude is likely a sexual predator..
"The animal was healthy and uninjured" "The individual seemed comfortable and knowledgeable with horses"
"we will find this individual and bring him to justice.” "lot of people feel extremely violated and rightfully so"
I'm I the only one that sees a little over reaction here?

More than just a little, yeah. I mean, someone can be healthy, but, still be raped.. In this cast for instance. I'm not for restraint of any sort, even with 'large animals'.
But yeah, more than a LITTLE over-reaction, more focus on lording over the abuser and 'victim', instead of ensuring the victim in the case is definitely alright, and that she's all well, set-up, and prevent future 'encounters' like this dude.

If you look at the photo, he's on the second step of a step ladder. That is a big mare. If she wanted to say "no", cross ties wouldn't mean shit.
But sex or no sex, wouldn't he get in trouble for trespassing?

How? I mean except the owner if it was not the guy's horse, how can anyone else feel violated? It is not like he had sex with a half of the town.

Having been around horses, I give you that one. I'm somewhat-experienced there. Never been hurt, kicked, or had a horse angry, but I've respected them from the beginning. This still doesn't absolve my opinion though: restraint = BAD, even in cases like this.

Oh yeah, especially since he was there after hours. Plus tampering with the property to get in.

Yeah, I never understood the whole 'taking offense on others behalf' thing.. guess that's a more modern cultural trait. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/ [email protected] 2x" title=":P" width="20" />
Yeah, I can understand the property owner, and the 'owner' (caretaker) of the horse, but fuck, the whole town?
It's the whole Righteous Indignation thing. Plus a good dose of media sensationalism.
Fuck a non-human? How dare you!
No harm, no damage. Get over it....

For tall critters mild restraint is just a matter of not repeatedly falling off your bucket.
I mean seriously-- you can look pretty casual around a horse/cow with a bucket. But carrying a ladder?
How many cowboys does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one if you have a tall horse......
OK I think I'm done here--
