PONY PLANET -- Following the Slush administration's bailout of the Whales after an attack on their capitol, Pony Planet's oldest allies have renewed their support of the Grand Army Of the United Horses.
In an address Saturday, Shamudy the leader of the Whales, said his government would, "stand behind the horses for as long as it takes, as we have in every major conflict in Pony Planet's history." The statement comes at a time where tensions between Pony Planet and the Whales remain high. Two months ago Shamudy became the deciding vote on the Grand Army Of the United Animals to withdraw their support of the Grand Army Of the United Horses in their conflict with the Moose.
The shift in rhetoric comes at a time when those living within the Whale territories are beginning to once again dissaprove of high taxes as a result of the military support. Mia Skylanskza, a single mother, tells us, "I don't see why we should keep bailing out the Horses when our government can barely afford to keep the lights on. Tell me how I'm supposed to cook for a family of five when I'm losing power 5 times a day?"
The Whales may be interested in helping Pony Planet, but with a sour taste in the mouths of civillians how much longer can it truly last?
