“Like many of my neighbors in Ocean Park who boycott this market because of the animal exploitation, I was not comfortable seeing ponies tethered and forced to plod in endless circles on hot concrete with band music hammering their ears and car exhaust in their face,” she said.
I would like to substitute liberals for those ponies. Perhaps we could arrange for skittles to come out their rear ends while they serve the community.
I’m a resident of Ocean Park and happen to love seeing the ponies and assorted other animals there on our early Sunday morning beach walk. The reason I stopped going to the farmers’ market is that its overcrowded with liberals and their agendas.
