Reply to comment by lekkermuff in Museum issues appeal to save famed "Misty of Chincoteague" ranch from being sold to developers by ZebZ
Absolutely, the original ranch buildings already burnt down, it sounds like long past time to leave everything about this in the past.

There are already so many domestic ponies needing safe homes, without preserving a contribution to the problem.

The ranch has nothing to do with the pony swim, aside from the book. The museum wants to buy the land, which still has some original buildings on it, to preserve it rather than see it turned into McMansions or a strip mall.

Imagine a families old farm is at risk of being sold off to developers and you want to tell them that because of the industry in their area, they should just sell and let it get developed into a strip mall, because there's soooooo many domestic ponies that need safe homes.
Get off your high horse. People just don't want to see another apartment home at the site of the farm from one of their favorite children's stories.
I imagine you'd sell off the farm from Charlotte's web and build an office building because the pork industry hurts your feelings too?

Imagine caring more about preserving some unused ranch land over homes for people to live in.
