Why do people purposefully miss the point

I don't allow free animals on my horse sale site, a lot of people get around this by asking for £1 or something stupid. But when i say that puts the animal at danger (because someone can take it and sell it for £200 the same day to meat men!) i get a big birage of abuse like "well at least they are finding a home not just shooting it or letting it starve"

umm. selling it for a £1 means someone can take it and put it in their back garden and forget about it! and as said, can sell it the same day for £200 for meat!

It doesnt make sense!

       

This constantly p's me off Hayley, why oh why wouldn't you want a good home xx

If the rule is for the sake of the animal, they'll just have to lump it, won't they? People trying to buy animals to sell for a profit are always looking for things like that, so I think you're right to prohibit that sort of sale.

They don't miss the point, they're just after a quick profit. 

ive ended up leaving the site and not admining it anymore. the amount of abuse i have just got over it is * ridiculous, i feel like crying. people are so horrible!

A colleague is forever getting 'free' horses and although she looks after them very, very well, I've always wondered why people give them away.........

cause they dont want them anymore and a free horse will be moved in literally an hour whereas a priced horse takes a long time.

It's very sad, Hayley - like all animals, they're cast aside when they're no longer wanted/have become too expensive/lost their appeal
