A follow up on my post about the one horse town with no shortage of Jackasses, the verdict is in and the long ears win. Or at least it seems that way.
The Hickman City Council voted 4-2 NOT to adopt a new ordinance that would have grandfathered in old Peter Rabbit, 32, allowing him to live out his days in the pasture where he was born. All that national attention for the town of Hickman and it only swayed one more vote over to the horse. Their contact now button is up and working when I tried it recently and I kindly gave them my thoughts on the issue — kindly.
