Vermont woman files complaint;

wants to keep miniature horse in apartment

 

MONTPELIER, Vt. - Patty Cooper's landlord normally welcomes tenants who use animals to help them get around, such as guide dogs for the blind.

 

So after the disabled woman bought an 81-centimetre-tall miniature horse to pull her wheelchair, she asked to keep the animal in her home. When her landlord rejected the request, she filed a human rights complaint.

OMFG, that story is hilarious. It would be mad funny if like in the old western movies, the horse gets startled and runs away wildly with the woman in the wheelchair.

This is a hilarious story. I'm still laughing as I type this. A miniature horse for a $1000.

Very interesting and amusing story. Hey if a miniature horse helps with pulling you in a wheelchair fine, but not in an apartment. I side with the owner on this one. She should get herself a farm.

Lets see a horse inside of an apartment even though its "miniature" its still a horse.A horse should not be in an apartment or a house period I mean its a horse! She can be put up for animal cruelty if they feel like it because making a horse live in an apartment is far from humane.

If a few more people in wheelchairs can buy a miniature horse, then they can be entered into a "chariot" race, where people can gamble on who will win.

 

*(Remember, never bet on the fat lady who is in a wheelchair, due to her legs crumbling under her own weight).*

Actually they would just get in the way of traffic, making us late still. Can't win with the wheelchairs.

Imagine the horse eating something that gives it diarrhea, and while pulling the wheelchair, it starts shooting it poop directly into the face of the "master" in the wheelchair.

Oh geez. Reminds me of that World of Warcraft episode of South Park with Cartman.

Anything to keep them off the Bx19 would be much appreciated.

 

Then again, I'm not a driver, so I really can't say....
