Has anyone asked David Lynch about his whereabouts?

This is the time of year when digital artist students are producing their ‘how real can I make it look’ work.
A couple weeks ago someone was trying to pass around a video of a toddler running down a street as real, but there were many things that looked off.

Not necessarily a VFX graduation video. In our neighbourhood (Petite-Patrie) there are at least two people with a mini horse. I saw and petted one white mini horse outside the dog park two years ago, and talked a bit with its owner and he said he knew another person who had one.
It’s illegal to keep livestock, but these are only slightly bigger than a Great Dane or Newfoundlander so they’re more like a pet. When you have an enclosed courtyard, or keep them inside at all times (they can be paper trained, but it would be kind of cruel to not walk them) nobody will know or tell on you.
