I contacted our local Animal Control office last week before we went on our hunting trip concerning 5 horses that were placed in the pasture beside my house. These 5 horses were starved to the point that I know 2 will have to be put down because they will not make the winter! Pissed me off so bad and just turned my stomach that someone would let them get so bad. Well this past Monday the Animal Control officers showed back up and confiscated the 5 horses PLUS 12 more from other pastures around the valley....a total of 17 horses! They are now in the process of filing aggravated criminal animal cruelty charges against her.

The AC office didn't want me to say anything to anyone until they got all the warrants and paperwork ready to charge her. The news reported about it last night so I feel safe now telling people about it. They are asking the community for donations for blankets, grass hay, senior feed and alfalfa hay.

I have never seen animals this bad...just breaks my heart! The pictures from my phone of the 3 worst one's don't really show how bad they really are.

Thank you for being such a good person and getting help for those poor horses so quickly, it’s too bad others who must have seen the condition of the horses did not report her and get them help

Here is a quote about nations, but I think it could apply to individuals as well.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Thanks and I wish I knew why no one spoke up sooner.

So true...you can tell a person's character by how they treat animals and waiters/waitress staff!

On an equine body scale index these guys are actually not that bad…maybe a 2-3 out of a possible 9/10. Still neglected, but definitely savable. I have seen, and rescued, far worse.

I have had horses for years and there is no way you can tell me that these guys are "actually not that bad". Three of these guys would not have made the winter here the way they are and that's according to the vets here, so to me ...they are bad. 1 had already died out of the 17 they confiscated.

You sound like a real trouble-maker! Thank goodness for people like you! Too many people would have just stood by and watched those poor animals suffer. I appreciate people who are unafraid to make a little trouble when it is warranted. I'm glad the local animal control people listened to you and did something to help those horses.
