1. People who are drawn to do work like this

are oftentimes more sensitive to the tragedies they see around them than others. I wonder if a lifetime spent struggling to save the most innocent lives from abuse and neglect got to be too much. We did horse rescue for awhile and after a few years, I couldn't take it any more. I am not proud of the fact that I had to stop, but every week being faced with an animal that is so thin it could barely stand on its own feet and then trying to drag a few dollars from people to help support those animals WILL make you think the world is not worth saving or being in. Now our farm offers support to the equine rescues in our area through donations of feed, hay and money; but I am not directly involved any more.
