I would not paint all the Amish with the same broad brush, as I am sure there are some who are respectful of animals and treat them well, just as there are others who do not.
Unfortuntately, most Amish do not think of their animals as pets. They use them for farming, as a tool, and I feel they treat their horses terribly. I have a lot of Amish around me. They work their horses to death. I have seen them foaming from heat exhaustion. I have also seen them use whips on them. I guess they are exempt a lot of times from the laws and rules we are required to abide by.

I do buy vegetables from one Amish farm on occasion. However, I do not buy their baked goods as the women do not always seem that clean.
