PC on 2 Vennie Squeaky Butt ponies (not for the faint of heart!!!)

Oh my gosh, that's awful. D: Do they only do it with ponies with factory sealed heads?

No, they will cut even a pony with a loose head one pony was cut in half properly (likes down the middle!) not so long ago.

I think the only saving grace is that at least it was the bottom of the hooves and the cut is clean on Applejacks nose. With careful gluing they could be made displayable.

Love pkw xxx

wow this is awful! poor ponies :[

[Leegeta]

Omg! customs did that!? looks like a dog attacked them! that's terrible!

[mercynova]

I'm so sorry that happened Poor ponies and poor you!

[jjponies]

I'm so sorry SoSilver! But, I've been there. I'm the one who had the pony cut in half with 2 cuts, one leg cut off, and the head cut in half too. I don't see any reason for it. They could take the head off or x-ray it and they could see just fine that there's nothing in there! Makes me so mad!

[zora]

why are they allowed to destroy somebodys property?? as jjponies said: they could easily x-ray them!

[Eternia]

Do they still squeak?

[sosoftbuttons]

oh nooooooo 
that's just horrible

for sosilver

and curses to customs

[Prince Primbrose]

Gosh, customs is just awful... poor little ponies. (If ponies were sent to Italy already taken apart, heads and tails removed, do you think customs would still feel the need to cut them up?)

[Loa]

Even x-raying them, they are seeing a mass inside the pony. That's what they are looking at!

[tikibirds]

I would give them a pair of pony shoes..
If they are going to destroy someones property then they should compensate you for it >.<
I take it venezuela does not have a thriving export bussiness?

what is inside? arent they empty like the normal mlp?

[moondancer1]

That is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!  Can you file a claim?  They should not be allowed to treat someone elses property so carelessly...or better yet intentionly destroy it!  That is so upsetting.  Poor ponies!

[zora]

couldnt they just let a drugfinder dog sniff them?

They do, it's called drug trafficking.

Basically, x-rays are expensive to run, dogs take an age to train and will only tell you if there's something in the pony, it's cheaper for them to declare 'nuts to you!' and cut open your parcel, on the basis that there's so much faff filing a claim/etc that you'll probably not do it, and on the off-chance they nail a drug smuggler it's all the better for them... though with their slap-dash treatment I'm not certain they don't resell the drugs they find back onto the street.

The 'Vennie Ponies are lovely but this is why I'll never bid/buy one direct from Venezuela, and I seriously doubt I'll see an intact one in-the-flesh.
