  • In April 2022, we looked at a silly online advertisement that claimed a veterinarian called the police after looking at an ultrasound of a horse that had refused to give birth. It read: Horse Refuses To Give Birth - When The Vet Sees The Ultrasound He Calls The Police. However, this was not a real story. We clicked the ad in question. It led to a 50-page slideshow article that had the headline, Horse Refuses To Give Birth - When The Vet Sees The Ultrasound He Calls The Police. The story's first page read as follows: Over the course of 50 pages, the slideshow article told the story of several characters and a horse. In the end, the veterinarian calls the police after finding an illegally made medical chip in the belly of the horse. On the last page was a small bit of disclaimer text that probably should have been included from the beginning. It said that the whole story was fictional and had been created for entertainment purposes. It read as follows: This same picture in the ad, which may have been doctored, was also used as the thumbnail for a YouTube video titled, The owner couldn't believe her eyes when she saw whom her horse gave birth to. The video told a story with generic stock footage about a mare named Destiny who gave birth to her second set of twin foals. Unlike the fictional ad, this was true. It was reported by horseyhooves.com in November 2021. We were unable to find the true origins of the picture used in the ad and the YouTube thumbnail. In sum, no, a veterinarian did not call the police after seeing an ultrasound of a horse that had refused to give birth. The whole story that appeared in the ad was completely made up and needlessly spread across 50 pages. (en)
