WDT: Horse diaper law rejected

Gouverneur has decided against putting diapers on horses....The home of the popular LifeSaver candy rejected a law to regulate the droppings of horses belonging to the Amish which use village streets.

It would be cheap and easy for them to solve the problems on their own. Cheap tarp to catch it or a good shovel and bucket to collect it. They should police it theirselfs.

Well, at least there are a reasonable numder of people in Governuer who still have a few functioning brain cells. This is farm country after all. All these city-slicker types who think horse manure is offensivee should have to roll around in a pig pen or chicken coop for a few hours. Then they would be happy to contend with something as inoffensive a little horse manure. This is the most ridiculus thing I ever heard!

It's all fun and games until you're the one who steps in it.

Then don't step in it. Walk around. A pile of horse s^!T is certainly easy enough to see. And I've stepped in plenty of it over the years. Never hurt me none. Washes off quite easily with a little water. Besides, seems to me you'd appreciate the free fertilizer for your garden or flower bed.

I'd say that the horse looks like he is wearing a condom instead of a diaper,but it appears a little large for a white horse..any chance of getting the Prez to pay for it if it is a condom?

I would say that horse condoms, horse diapers, and horse morning after plungers should be paid for by any reuputable horse health insurance program. And if Obuma gets another four years I just knowed he will see to it that justice is done.

It's a backwards farming town anyway. The roads aren't that nice. Who cares in the long run?

By any stretch, and for those who say it's a freedom of religion issue, are just flat out wrong.

Horses do not have freedom of religion the last time I looked.

It's a public health and santitation issue. What if their owners decided to step out of their buggy and take a crap on public square, what would people say then?

Dannie, as long as you don't take a crap on public square I would have no problem with it. Listening to you is quite enough for most of us. As I see it, we haven't had much of a threat of the Amish crapping on our streets. Get control of yourself. Even if they did, I doubt if they would travel into your neighborhood. And if they did, crapping on a golf course isn't the worst thing one can do. Is this another chapter of you hating religion again? Leave the Amish alone. They aren't hurting anybody. We haven't had an issue with this. Will you for once admit that a government solution may not be the answer?

Amish buggy news;
Diapers, NO, lights and reflectors, YES!

Very little has anything to do with the Amish religion. It is just a way of life that they live. However, we are on the roadways with them and they should acknowledge that and make the buggies visible at night!

Aren't ttturds flammable? If so, there's your solution. Hire some Civil Servants to follow the buggies and light the piles of poop so Dannie won't run into them.
