You'd have thought the fact that some wee timmy/feenyun/kafflick had already defaced the statue by painting the horse black would have had the neanderthal "peepuls" on guard 24/7.

Jane and I have been neighbors for about 5 years. We have never had an argument and our relationship is quite agreeable. We aren’t close, but we aren’t strangers either.
Now, I am her sworn enemy.
Here’s what happed...
I’ve had this Christmas cactus on my porch for the last 4 summers. I’ve taken pretty good care of the plant, and its grown quite large. Jane has always admired the plant and complimented on it often. None of my other neighbors have ever noticed it.
In January I got very sick—then COVID happened. I brought the plant inside one day due to a storm and promptly forgot about it.
It died.
I wasn’t happy about the loss of something I’d kept alive for 4 whole years, but I wasn’t exactly heart broken over it either. To me, it was just a plant and I got over it after like 24 hours. I threw it away and that was that.
Here’s where shit got weird.
Jane was walking past the house yesterday while I was sitting outside. She came to say hello and noticed the cactus was missing.
She asked where my beautiful cactus was, to which I replied “Oh, unfortunately it died. I forgot how much you enjoyed it!”.
She asked me how, and I told her. I forgot to maintain it and it died.
Jane then flipped her ever loving shit. I have never seen her so passionately upset before! Jane accused me of being negligent and uncaring. That I shouldn’t be a plant parent if I wasn’t going to care for my cactus as if it was a living being. What I had done was no different than murder and I should feel absolutely ashamed of myself.
I told Jane I was sorry that the death of the plant upset her, and it was flattering how much she enjoyed it. But it was just a plant I had no real emotional attachment to. She looked at me absolutely appalled and said “It’s not just a plant. All lives matter!”
Jane then stormed off and hasn’t spoken to me since. She’s ran her mouth though, because several of my neighbors have since messaged me that Jane is telling anyone who will listen how much of a horrible human I am but won’t tell them why.
I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. It’s just a PLANT. I didn’t go out of my way to kill it. But I also don’t care it’s dead either!
I like Jane and I don’t want to cause a bigger problem, but she’s crossed the line badmouthing me to our neighbors.
What can I do to to fix this?
I assume the author is also female ??
She should have said the plant was abducted whilst she was out at the local tapas bar. She'd have been given full government protection and been given substantial monies donated from the great british public. Her neighbour Jane knows that she's a killer, but, without credible witnesses, cannot prove it. Our author then walks away unscathed.
Or she should nip round and kick Jane in the pie for being a cow.

From the limited information i've covered, seems Andrew Carnegie might be ok. However, if there is/was a statue of him in Inverkeithing, we may have issues to deal with following his abandonment of emigrees in new York (?) when they wouldn't cross an existing picket line to work for him. He was allegedly pelted with divits when he rode through Inverkeithing on his way to Dunfermline after he'd returned some time after this incident. Hence Inverkeithing is called colloquially as Inverdivit or The Divit.
The story is along these lines if my recollection is not fully accurate.

Sad time for Scottish horse racing. Lucy Normile packs it in. Although a small yard, she trained a couple of horses over the years where i knew the owners. She won't be the last small-ish yard to go under.
