“Zalapompadoo how far away is Bransby Home for Ponies? Oh yes you have just heard the R$PCA propaganda, Bransby won't do anything for the ponies as they are out of their 60 mile zone by quite a long way!
Chobblers they are a bit small for burgers, pet food or glue
Anyone think they may be ferrell ponies who have lived wild in the forest for many years if this is the case the sudden change in diet may cause them great harm, this would lead the R$PCA having to prosecute itself (like that would happen)!”
