It Is A Shame It Happened

Please take a moment and read the next two articles to understand where I am coming from.

First posted below is the Equine Law set to protect them. Next post shows you just how well they are being used. Once again the Ag Department failed to do their duties to protect these horses.

This man was under investigation for a year, and for what? So he can let his horse die and more starve to the point where bones are showing. I mean come on Ag.!

Also stated that the owner had been cited several times, and only to pay no attention to the citations.

Why do we have laws then? Why do we have an Ag. Department with veterinarians? Why do you put horses back into the population of the human only to start the cycle all over again? Why don't you geld the stallions that come in? Where are your adoption forms that could protect these horses better? I understand that nothing is full proof, but something is better than what you are doing right now. It is still nothing, if it were something than these horses would not be in the shape they are in.

It is the job you chose, and if you can't do it than give it to a person who will.

It is an issue isn't it? It is money. Money the root of all evil in this world. Words we have all heard before. What the H they are just words aren't they?

 

If the police department can have a system set up to make sure that people have insurance on their cars or go to jail when they are pulled over, then why can't the Ag Department come up with a better system of documenting and making sure these animals go to safer homes?

Yes, I do put some of the blame on our Ag. Department for the conditions these horses were found in and for the dead horse. A year? Come on! I would rather the man had sent these horses to the slaughter house than hear they had to suffer through what they have over the last year. To me that would be a life time of hell.

Could you only take the time and forget to feed yourself for the next year and have to deal with the elements of the weather on a day to day bases? We all know that will not happen.

This should have never happened!! It is a shame that it did happen.
