| Its so increadibly awful. I pray the alive horses can live happy lives with full bellies of feed from now on.
From what I understand Dual Peppy is one of the seized horses :-( such a shame, its not like he couldent of been sold and all this avoided. Selfish selfish people :'( |

First for those who don't seem to know Colorado does have Felony Animal abuse laws. But things take time. Charges will come at some point.
Second from my understanding Some of the Mounted Patrol is checking on these horses constantly.
In order to seize and take them they must fallow the "Rules". They will be inspected, rated, etc.. Our State Vet does NOT play nicely with people that abuse livestock or pets.
Be careful screaming for them to be removed immediately. There are at least two equine rescues frothing at the mouth to get their hands on these horses. Neither are qualified!!!!!
There are also a lot of questions surrounding the "dog breeder" who turned this in. She supposedly lived on the property as well??
It sucks to see the pictures, it sucks worse to not be able to run in and feed, water and love on those still alive. But in the end it needs to be done "by the book". Then we can push for justice for not only those alive but for the untold number of dead.

| Has there been any statement Why the owner let this happen? Lack of money ? Mental illness? Beyond belief to me. They could have easily sold these horses cheap to good homes if they could not afford them. |

| I have to disagree w/you Jbhoot. I think the reason more and more of this is happening is BECAUSE these horses CAN'T be sold. The horse market is OVERLY flooded with horses no one wants. The proof is in situations just like this. Maybe these horses that died were sick from an illness that spread through the herd. maybe they weren't starved. Maybe selling them wasn't even an option. Time will tell hopefully, but it does not take much research to understand what is going on with the horse market. Our economy is bad, just keeping horses is expensive. Add to that an over abundance of unwanted animals and their prices go spiraling downward fast.
How many people remember the arabian horse pyramid scheme that went on back in the 80's, maybe 70's? Do you remember the absolutely over bloated prices put on Arabians? Where are all these "valuable" animals now? HHHmmm..... no market for them, is there. I am afraid this is what's going on now. The poor horses are the one's to suffer when people can no longer sell them, or afford to keep those they have bred, and can't sell.
The answer, stop breeding so many. Make them valuable again. Just like gold, and diamonds. As the commodity goes down, the price goes up.
This is an extremely sad situation. It will be interesting to see what becomes of the owner. |
