#and these people have had and bred horses for years and don't have a clue

[roguemonsterfucker]

Infuriating to watch a video from people who actually have horses... who are actually breeding horses... who have no fucking clue how horse genetics work. 😩

"We've tried do hard to get buckskin!" Did you? Did you do any research on how that would even happen?

Do you have any basic understanding of how the cream gene inherits? How the bay gene inherits? Or even how fucking black inherits?????????????? All three of those are what you need for buckskin and it seems like you don't have a fucking clue how they work.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. These people are fortunate enough to not only have horses but are able to breed them and they don't even understand how the basic genes work. They don't even understand how to get a color they say they've been actively trying to get!!!!!!

fucking infuriating

Very curious to hear what's wrong with Palomancy. I've adopted 2 parrots from their sister organization, and aside from being a little too strict in their adoption screening process I haven't heard much criticism about them.

(if this is an annoying ask please feel free to ignore & delete)

No no, not annoying. It's not exactly easy to find this information, so I'm not surprised when people don't know it.

Palomacy is in bed with PETA. You know, the rabid ARA organization known for stealing loved family pets from back yards and front porches (sometimes in a 10 minute stretch the owner was gone) and euthanizing them while refusing to return them. PETA believes no one should own pets, that no one should eat meat, that no one should ride horses or work dogs in the jobs they are bred for. They're willing to lie to get you to align with their beliefs. They're willing to compare animal rights to the Holocaust.

In this article from Palomacy in 2022, you can see them outright quote PETA. https://www.pigeonrescue.org/2022/05/31/a-pigeon-tale/

This is not something an organization should be doing lightly. If you have any clue what PETA is talking about, your goal should be never going within a hundred miles of them. But the reason I found out about this connection in the first place was during some digging some years back, during which I found the head of Palomacy (I don't know if she still is) exchanging tweets on Twitter with a representative of PETA.

Again, these people are so despicable. I would never willingly talk to them in public. Just being near them is like... tainting.

Beyond the PETA connection, Palomacy has a few other issues. They won't return found racers, last I heard. They have been known to descend like a cloud of murderous locusts on anyone who has a differing opinion than them. Their care and behavior advice is truly not great. Their housing advice is probably the only thing I don't feel the need to nitpick for them. The rest is either better designed for parrots, or wildly inappropriate behavior to try on an animal in general, like struggle-cuddling.

I think that they have their place. I wouldn't disappear Palomacy from the face of the earth if I had the chance (unlike PETA). But I know they hate many things they shouldn't (like ethical companion breeders - to them every breeder is pure evil) - and that they are giving out a lot of advice that is harmful.

And I don't want to be associated with them lol
