I know it’s a common saying but I take issue with the clever in the middle haha. I’ve been around enough of them to know they’re dumb as fence posts, with a slight advantage to the post
Just the other day there was a comment about a horse going crazy to the point of death because a paper lantern landed in its pasture. While the thread overall did convince me that releasing them is an asshole thing to do (another comment mentioned one burnt down a hay barn near them and it clicked just how stupid it is to just fly a candle surrounded in paper out to land where it will), it didn’t do horse intelligence reputation any favours.
