Today I heard this true story - about very rich sheikhs, Saudi-Arabia, horses and famous stud farms. The story had all ingredients to write a romantic fairy tale. But in fact it turned out to be a horror story. Because of ......the RABBITS!!!!
So, what was it all about?
Rich sheikhs love horses and horse-racing - they love to own good racing-horses - they want to have the very best horses and they know where to buy them. Best stud farms are not in Saudi-Arabia. So, they shop abroad.
In this very specialized trade, of course, Customers are always Right, so if Sheikh Customer decides he wants to buy his promising racing horse in the embryo stage, he wil get his latest acquisition in the embryo stage. Guess why they want embryo-horse-delivery? Because it's easier to ship! So, Sheikh-Customer gets a special delivery!
Including: Perform surgery on pregnant mare - take out the embryo very carefully and implant little precious racing-horse-to-be in the womb of a rabbit.
A RABBIT????? Yes, a rabbit. WHY????? Because rabbits are easily to handle, nice, soft, warm and - most important - comfortable to travel in for Sheikh's thingummy. First class, little horse-rabbit/rabbit-horse-animal, is transported to the desert playgrounds.
And then, very very carefully, horse-rabbit/rabbit-horse is transformed again in two originals. A beautiful Arab mare is offering her womb for the embryo-gadget; best surgeons place little horse in this warm shelter to develop to a price-winner.
And Rabbit? Well..... here, my story-teller stopped. He couldn't tell me what happened to Rabbit.
Was she carefully operated by skilled professionals? Or was she roughly opened by a knife, left alone, as soon as the Royal Gadget was taken out? Did Royal Servants take her home, R.I.P. in an Arab rabbit-stew?
So, now I wonder, yes, I wonder...... in Vickx Wonder World.
I know, money makes the world turn around - money, money, money - we all know this lyric by Lisa Minelli. Embryo-shopping sheikhs in the World of Money - may we say: beyond dignity ?
