HAHA even the way people defend their insanity on that site is through more insanity. I almost just fell out of my chair on this one.

Sorry, normally I do not lower myself to respond to ignorant people who have yet to evolve. However, yes – Dottie is the spokesperson. Zenyatta herself is not speaking, in words. However, animals are intelligent, USE tools, are sentient, are capable of problem-solving, are far more aware than most people ever will be throughout their lives, and – if you know anything about a horse, and their wild instincts, you might know that a horse, like a cat, is the only domestic animal that can revert to the wild. This is not conjecture – these are scientifc, biological facts, that have been proven through many years of research, and the research continues to prove even more. Did you know that whales actually have individual names for each other, and they call each other, by their names, using a very complex mode? Do you know anything about the wild horse’s family mode – how important family and freedom are to them? Truly, I think Dottie is right on – and she can ascertain many things about Zenyatta, through their relationship. There is a mode of communication between people & animals, and THAT has been proven again, and again, and again. The people who post here, are compassionate, OPEN to further education, are a support system, and are the type of people others feel happy to have in their lives. Your negative comments are deplorable. As far as Rachel Alexandra goes – I am happy that she is still in foal. She was a tremendous race mare, and I am sure she will be a good dam….However, one just needs to go back and view her last year, ESPECIALLY her last race – and see the agony (boy, were the whites in her eyes prevalent) as Borel repeatedly hit her – to know that – the people responsible for her – treated her – pretty much the way your post goes….Oh – but I am sure you never noticed that. Actually, I feel really sorry for Rachel Alexandra. Her spirit was broken that last year. And, as far as people like you ( I would NEVER do a negative post on Rachel’s site – I have too much class) – I encourage you to – educate youself, grow up – stop the stupid, inane competition (there is room for many great ones), and above all – please realize that condescending comments, based on small thinking.. will never prevail. I thank you.

I feel like I'm on the PETA site.

From the article:

"Word of the development was first posted on zenyatta.com, a website that maintains a diary purported to be written by the mare"


I am confused. Zenyatta hasn't been writing this?

I was thinking more along the lines of homocidal, but yeah, that works.

And yes Theatrical, I know I misspelled homicidal, above.

I helped my daughter write this. She’s very upset!!
Dear Mr. Scudsmother, and to all the others who said terrible things today. I am not Buffy, but I’m her 7 year old daughter. I would like to thank you for ruining this site for me. My Mother won’t let me check my favorite site anymore unless she checks first. I’m just a little kid who still wants to believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. I know they aren’t real, but whats wrong with pretending. You are really mean people. What did Zenyatta ever do to you. I have dogs, and cats, ponies, and a fish. I talk to them all the time. This isn’t any different is it? I feel really sorry for you if you think it’s ok to hurt other people’s feelings. My Dad said that people who need to hurt other people, are probably really sad themselves. Maybe you don’t know what it’s like to Love, to dream, or to believe. Today, You hurt my feelings and I think you should go away. You are a Bad, Sad person. I’m done talking to you!!! And know I want to tell Zenyatta and her family, that, even thou this is a sad day, it will get better. I Love You Zenyatta, and I’m just glad that I get to share this planet with you. I can’t sign my name, my Mom won’t let me. xoxoxoxox

FIRST To Zenyatta and family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. God does everything for a reason. It will definately work out for you. When people are as kind and concerned for other people as your people are Zenyatta, God will reward you~!!!
SECOND: To the Morons who have posted the garbage on this site. GO ELSEWHERE. No one here wants to hear your cruel nasty mouths, via Texts. Go where you belong.
THIRD: I believe that your posts should be taken down. NO ONE coming to this blog wants to see them.

Zenny I am so saddened to hear your news, but I know things will work out as the Good Lord wants them to. On another note, here we have a perfect example of how one black soul is trying to destroy the only good, kind, peaceful, loving thing that has happened to the world in a long time and to top it off, a lot of people have taken the bait. It doesn’t take much does it? Please stop!

I just read the comments of Scudsomething and have observed that the person writing that message is most probably deranged. Nothing in it makes sense. The brain is in disconnect. Sounds like someone who is incarcerated somewhere, perhaps jail, perhaps hospital. How he or she found this site is anyone’s guess, but if Dottie could block this sender, it would be good for the rest of us who care for Zenny as if she were ours. What this person wrote is drivel. What this person wants is attention. I suggest that if Dottie cannot block his or her further comments, we all IGNORE the ravings. People with mental impairment like that do things–good and bad–for attention. I do believe I sense a religious fixation in the message…he or she is using it to fantasize…a sick person. As for the rest of us, all we care about is Zenny, and I will not desert my post beside her through these messages.

*** Dottie, it is time to set guidelines on this site regarding proper comments.It is starting to look like Youtube. Advise that inappropriate language or sarcastic hurtful references will be deleted. It is truely irrating we have to sift through this trash. We have been too trusting with information only “Z” fans comprehend. Those of you,just go–you are being ignored.

What Would BARBARO Do? said:
March 29, 2011
OMG, I’m so sorry Zenniegirl. It wasn’t in the stars. I will light some candles for you and set up a prayer virgil. I will fast until you become with child. The lord who took BARBARO away from us is sometimes unjust, but he works in strange ways. Now, I believe that BARBARO was meant to be the horsie-husband of Zennie. Why else would he take away this foal. Bernardi was the winner in the Preekness, ONLY because BARBARO lost his life under suspicious cirscumstances. The Mooses should breed Zennie to LENTENOR or NICANOR, then she would be in foal immediately. This needs to be done.

Hey Zen! I’ve been doing lots of planning the past few weeks and my absence had to be on your mind. It’s ok! Rest assured that I have enough food and water to survive 36 months in case everything falls apart! And just remember that if things get perilous in your neck of the woods that all you have to do is close your eyes and neigh three times and I will enter your mind and guide you to Fort Lacie!! T.I.C.!

I probably should have avoided the temptation to post on this topic but anyway....I completely understand why folks think the "love affair" among hardcore fans of Zenyatta is over the top...probably is. But the posts on a board dedicated to her cause nobody any harm, why attack people who feel a deep personal connection to the horse? It's not as if this "lovefest" is taking up space here. In the entire time I've been on-line, I have been banned from one board, that was a board comprised of lovers of Secretariat. Now I love Secretariat myself, considering him the greatest ever but I found myself defending another poster who came to the board and "dared" to question whether Secretariat was greater than Man O War, this poster (handle was Dragon something on the ESPN board was in actuality a 12 year old girl, in all her posts she demonstrated a knowledge and intellect far beyond her years and never was disrespectful. I felt that the attacks on her, some very ugly, were uncalled for and tried to defend her right to at least ask a question...we were both banned. While I would do the same today,I recognized that on a board dedicated to Secretariat, folks would not accept anything that varied from their views...and what the hell? Who are they hurting? They may be closed minded, they may be intolerant but it's their space. Seems useless to make fun of them here...especially when there are posters here like me to ridicule for different points of view.

Last time I checked, still a man. Like I said the response to my post is predictable. Everytime I post some respond with "it's all about you" or "your arrogant, holier than thou" etc. Basically, I remember the old days on the ESPN board, every so often, we would be invaded by trolls who basically shut down the board. No way to keep them off a public board. That was the main reason many of us were happy to be invited to this board where at least we weren't subject to such invasions. There are many topics of interest that are discussed here, some interest me, some don't and I suspect everyone can say the same. My question is why bother with what folks on another board are saying? Does it seem off the wall that folks are responding to a horse? Sure, but so what?

Maybe you are impowered with the ability to judge others and decide what folks deserve...I just don't see what is gained except giving some folks a warm fuzzy by thinking they are better than those who act differently. If that is the purpose then I guess that's fine.
