"Pit Bulls Kill Cancer Boy's Miniature Horse"

-AMARILLO -- A miniature horse given to a boy with brain cancer by the Make-A-Wish Foundation was killed by a pair of pit bulls who were found roaming in his yard, authorities said.

The 31-inch tall horse, Anniversary, was donated by the foundation to 3-year-old Christian Vasquez in late August.

1. Holy crap. And I think the term 'motherload' really applies here...

...even though the usual term is 'mother lode' ;-)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

3. Oops...

:blush: :P

[krispos42]

32. Yeah, my post in GD has like 340 posts now

and at least one deleated sub-thread. :wow:

2. How sad is that, my dear lelapin...

I hope it doesn't start any flamewars...

Those are pointless, and normally don't end well either...

*sigh*

:hug:

5. It is pretty sad

I don't have any problems with pit bulls, but that poor little horse... :(

14. I think the horse

had a problem with the pitbulls.

[quip]

4. Too bad they didn't include a

link to where folks could send in a donation to replace Anniversary.

effen, good for nothing pit bulls...:mad:

[ZombieNixon]

6. Not quite.

When they give the boy a gift certificate to Olive Garden to replace his horse, THAT's the mother of all DU flame wars. :scared:

God, I'm morbid...:hide:

[DS1]

8. a gift certificate that's good within a range

say, 60 days starting 2 weeks after his official life expectancy

10. of, if that horse-fucker from Seattle stopped by and raped it after it was dead

too bad he died while receiving it from a majestic stallion

23. ...

:rofl: You're delightfully twisted. :P :*

7. It was the pony's fault, you freepers.

[Orrex]

9. If the pony had been armed with pit bulls of its own, this would never have happened

You can pry the pit bull from my cold, dead jugular.

20. You can pry my pit bull from the baby's cold dead jugular.

11. Cancer Boy?

Really?

[triguy46]

21. I like it. I was 'cancer guy' a few years ago, so there's that to look forward to.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

24. I copied the title from CNN's title lead

I was in a hurry to get it up here, and now that I look at the title, it sounds really bizarre... didn't mean to be offensive. Cancer terrifies me, so I feel horrible for anyone who has it.

[redqueen]

27. Wasn't criticizing you!

I noticed it was the original title... no worries. :hi:


I just thought that could be construed as being slightly insensitive... depending on one's perspective. :)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

28. Aww, OK

I was worried I'd made it sound that way. :hi:

[flvegan]

12. Looks like Make-A-Wish is entertaining taking donations to replace the horse.

Per the article, at least.

13. Post that in GD and watch the place explode!

:hide:

[flvegan]

15. This is why every pony should have a Concealed Weapons Permit

[cuke]

16. I blame Hillary

Has anyone ever heard her speak out against this scourge of pony-killing pitbulls?

[mainegreen]

17. Was the pony smoking?

[Phillycat]

19. No, but it was totally breastfeeding.

[Bucky]

30. And now they're going to use in in a fettuccini at guess which restaurant!

Where it'll be served by illegal aliens.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. poor horsey.

[krispos42]

22. I put it up in GD

I have a 3-year-old myself. Maybe it will garnder some donations or something. :-(

[flvegan]

25. I just read an article that said donations were pouring in to replace the horse.

It's likely the kiddo will get his wish again.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

26. That's a wonderful idea

I really hope he gets something again. Can't replace his horse, but maybe something he'll love. :(

29. I think you got copy catted in GD!!!!
