How about calling her lucky, as in she's lucky she's not with the Amish who often abuse their animals thinking of them as mere tools? I have to say that painting a community with a broad brush like this is unfair. The vast majority of the Amish community around here treat their animals well as they are their livelihood. Even if they are considered "tools" they take care of them even if they don't give them the same family member status that non-farming families give their pets. I am sure that isolated incidents of animal abuse and neglect occur among their community just as they do everywhere, but to generalize like that is not right. I was in Amish country this past weekend and was struck by the beauty of their horses - they looked very well taken care of. I agree, it happens though, and based upon the description of her starving, it sounded like she wasn't doing well. Perhaps it is different closer to you than me. We regularly have to rescue dogs from Amish folk who don't feed them, get them any vet care, etc.

My friend didn't get her directly from an Amish family. The jerkwad who starved her got her pregnant mother from an Amish family.

Amish and broke do not belong in the same sentence. They pay cash for everything. They are buying up huge tracts of land all over the Pennsylvania landscape.

You do know that Pennsylvania Dutch are actually of German origin, right?

You got a good German name for a pony? At this point, we're just tired of calling her "sweet little mare" and "hey, skinny girl."
