Man caught with horse, arrested
I think that, in general, this website is fairly “clean”. This is no accident; the world out there is full of depravity and I prefer for my readers to not have to worry about finding it here. Unfortunately, however, I story came to my attention about which it would be irresponsible for me not to write. I apologize if I shock anyone, and parents or anyone who is easily offended are hereby advised to leave this website and look at something else animal-related.
Last week, Deedee Foster of Ola, Arkansas, was making her evening rounds at her farm. As she approached the last barn, she, “immediately felt uneasy,” Mrs. Foster explained. “It’s a good thing I carry the gun when I do my rounds. Bud’s been laid up with a bum leg for 17 years now and I learned long ago to carry protection. I’ve scared away teenagers, pumas, bears and hobos, but I’ve never seen anything like this.” What Mrs. Foster saw was a man, later identified as Duke Sherwood, a local fire hydrant technician, engaging in an obscene act with one of Foster’s horses. “Oh, he stopped right away. I called the police and veterinarian. I knew if Beebe got elected things like this would start happening!” Gov. Mark Beebe (D) could not be reached for comment, but a spokesman assured members of the press that he was disgusted with the story and does not condone “that sort of thing”.

According to the International Horse Action and Protection Alliance (IHAPA), inappropriate horse related events have been on the rise in recent months. “You know, when the economy tanks, people have less money to do the things they want to do. They go looking for cheap thrills,” explained Robin Berkhalter, IHAPA public relations director. IHAPA was formed in during the 1930s due to a rash of similar offenses.

It really seems like the fire hydrant technician job only attracts the degenerates of society, we have quite the problem of inappropriate animal/fire hydrant technician interaction in Hazard Ky too. I just wish there was more guidance in the article on prevention, old woman with gun works in Arkansas, but we are not sure it is the answer here in Ky.
