I mean, it wouldn’t be “The folly of hope” if the ending was happy, would it?

one of those “oh hey being a breeder it’s easy, I can do that, let’s give it a try” about this owner would answer all that

If she’s working with a 50/50 success rate then I can see the appeal of trying her out, but I doubt she’s worth the effort
Just milkbag her now and save time

Btw, this image is a double Wolfram-Sparks reference. The entire format is based on an adoption gone wrong image he did ages ago, and the fluffy is also inspired on his recent (unfinished work) “Toffee” lol. Its a Wolfception.

Pisses me off to no end too. If you treat a fluffy decently there’s a fairly good chance of making back what you spent on them.
It really doesn’t take much. Don’t beat’em, feed’em normal kibble regularly, leave them alone when they need it, and pay them a little attention. BOOM!!! Decent saleable foals.
Any kind of abuse reduces their value, lifespan, and the chance of " pwetty babbehs ".

The contrast between her old owner and new owner… Ouch.

Love it! The look of utter despair and hopelessness in mares eyes, begging for death. chef’s kiss.
Look at the worsening state of the shelter, love that detail. How the next to go is the “about me” description, instead of being cute, it becomes just basic information, no more Hi, I’m loving and all that stuff.

My friend the way you’re looking at things through a hugbox lens where fluffies are real pets. In pure abuse/industrial abuse you have to look at fluffies as an insanely cheap, endlessly renewable commodity to exploit by cranking out as much low quality product as possible. In works like these fluffies are made to be brought cheap, used then discarded so the cycle can start over. Take a look at “Mcpets” by Gardel, they do a better job illustrating this than I can

Fluffies are actually high-maintenance what with the saferoom and all other amenities they need, that’s the canon so I don’t know where you got the idea that you can just “let them be” and it will magically work, these things can drown just by looking at water remember?
In my HC I explain that because it was an expensive pet (as a genetically engineer animal would be IRL) being high-maintenance wasn’t an issue but then hasbio lost control of breeding the fluffies became cheap as hell thanks to mass production. So now you got a pet that you can buy from a vending machine for $5 but requires its own room, special toys and special food, that’s hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
So what happens is that people get a fluffy and when it “breaks” they get another since that’s far cheaper than having to buy all the other crap hasbio said you need. Mass production turned fluffies from a pet with 5-figures prices to a disposable burner phone you get rid off just to get another.
Except the phone isn’t alive.

Making money isn’t the point. The cruelty is the point.
Why then is the new owner complaining? Because the fluffy cannot be allowed to think it has any value whatsoever.

sweet jesus yes! killing the ugly colors, selling the good colors, pillow her and then use her to produce more foals. What a beautiful ending for Crystal
