17 horses seized in Oregon.

Cowgirl1013 · 02-23-2006, 08:49 AM

In the past two weeks cops have been to a farm in Molalla, Oregon TWICE to seize horse. There have been 17 horses in all. They were all under weight and most were under by a couple hundred pounds and were unblanketed in below freezing temperatures with cold winds. There was even an 8 month old filly that could not even stand. They had to carry her into the trailer. The owner said she was up all night bottle-feeding her water. (Whatever) All of the horses are gaining strength everyday. They have named the filly “ Miracle” and she is doing well. The owner only faces 1 count of animal neglect. Other counts are being worked on. You can find out more at “KPTV.com”

Friesiangirl · 02-23-2006, 09:14 PM

OH, That's just awful!!! We had a similar case here. This guy and his wife were getting a divorce and she held all the papers to the horses. So, the guy quit feeding them!!!

And several of the horses ended up dying, and some had to be put down!!!

And I never heard if he got in trouble for any of it!!!! It's just awful that people do this to their animals!!! Totally inhumane!!

OK, well, it worked for me just now. Maybe try again?

MOLALLA - Clackamas County sheriff's deputies seized 17 horses from the property of a Molalla woman who faces animal neglect charges.

The horses seized today all showed signs of malnutrition.

Deputies say most of the animals were lethargic with dull coats and some had bloated stomachs and visible wounds. The horses were transported to foster homes where a veterinarian will examine each of them.

Deputies also found the body of a dead mare on the property belonging to Virginia Winter.

Last week, acting on a tip, they found a starving eight-month-old horse on the property. That horse, named Miracle, is recovering under the care of a veterinarian.

The Clackamas County district attorney's office is investigating.

I believe their may be some space in the desert where it is uninhabited. Ya know because it is way to hot during the day and way cold at night. No rain and no food.
I think that is a perfect spot to ship all these people that starve, neglect and abuse horses and animals. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
I'll even pay to ship 'em all over there.
