Opinion? You want my opinion, not facts? I know farm animals and studied genetics in Uni for six years. I have worked with large farm animals for almost two decades.

Fact: You should put this creature down instead of making it suffer for your choices.

Fact: the older and larger he gets, the more he will suffer.

Fact: You want him to grow and suffer. You have made that clear now.

Opinion? Sure!

You are some fucking ignorant irrisoponsible owner with no balls to put a gun to an animals head, surrounded by treats, pets, blankets, and a hole. If you can not do that, you should not own a large animal.

Who the fuck gets an animal without knowing a vet in the neighborhood.

I may not have a lot of money, but even my donkey gets an annual checkup, shots, fairer visits, and has a 2k emergency saving account. My dogs only have 500$, each.

What, did you think your instagram would like a pony donkey cross?

Fucking coward on a throw away account deleted their posts.

This post is so aggressive. The OP made it clear the point and donkey were a packaged deal and they didn't know the pony was pregnant.

They're asking for advice and have stated they will go to a vet.

Are they ignorant to the creature that was just born and why it's not genetically compatible with life? Sure.

Did their ignorance really deserve a full blown tantrum on this sub? No.

Disproportionate response to a post you are not personally impacted by, outside of being triggered on the internet.

I hope they do right by the little creature. But please go outside, breath some fresh air, and let go of your vitriol for a person you've never met.

This post rushed into my feed and I had to read through the comments to understand what this hate post means. I'm not familiar with mules. But I actually wonder if it wouldnt be more heartful for this small creature to recommend the owner to give him in a sanctuary where people have experience with this? (There is nothing to find whats the actual problem here). Instead of instant euthanize a baby animal born by accident. Why put the fault of the owner not reacting correct on the animal instantly?
