Jo tack och frugan mår bra?

Idag har jag helt omedvetet lyckats snyta mig i de tunna fina pappersnäsdukarna i laboratoriet - som var ägnade åt att torka av mikroskåplinsen!!!!!!! HA HA HA!!! Dom var så tunna o fina att jag fick ta TVÅ varje gång ;) Upptäckte det först när asken började ta slut oooooooooops :P Men det fanns fler kvar i botten såg jag sen... lade tillbaka den fint o prydligt o gick därifrån visslandes med händerna på ryggen o låtsades som ingenting.

IN ENGLISH
Today in the laboratory, I've blown my nose in the fine handkerchiefs which, I discovered, were supposed to be used to wipe off the microscope-lenses with... ooops. I didn't realize it until the box started to look empty. Furthermore I used two at a time due to their thinness he he heeeeeeee.

From one thing to another.
I do not like the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. The gaits are FLAT WALK, RUNNING WALK and CANTER. Some, so called, trainers sore their horses' feet = applying blistering chemicals such as diesel fuel, oil or kerosene. Then wrapping the leg with plastic to drive the chemicals in. The process causes soreness and a lot of pain. Horses are then ridden wearing metal chains around each ankle and every step the horse takes is agonizing. So they lift their front legs even higher in the showring getting more applause from the crowd. This often cause open lesions and scars that stay with the horse throughout it's life.

In training barns where soring takes place, it is common to see horses lying down in their stalls, moaning in pain. Intimidation, harassment and threats from industry participants have kept inspectors from examining horses outside of a designated inspection area, directly before entering the show ring. This system gives trainers ample opportunity to attempt to conceal soring before the horse is inspected.

In an effort to mask soring, some trainers will apply numbing agents to their horses' legs prior to inspection so the horse won't react. Others "steward" their horses at home, putting them through mock inspections wherein if the horse reacts to palpation, he is beaten with a whip, bat or other blunt instrument. The horse learns to be more fearful of the beating than the pain in his legs, and learns to stand quietly. Other trainers will attach alligator clips and other pain-inducing objects to sensitive parts of the horse prior to inspection, causing him to focus on the new source of pain rather than his legs and feet.

This is (unfortunately) nothing new to me and the rest of the world. The sad thing is that it has been observed as early as in the eighties - AND NOTHING HAS YET CHANGED!!!!!!!!

Check out these videos (news coverage):


Here's a news coverage from the eighties showing that nothing has changed since then :(


And these are pictures I've made from the videos at the canter and one at the running walk:
