Wow!!! That's amazing, Sue! There's such a need for horse rescue! I wonder how they got started?? Maybe one of the rescue volunteers also has a love for horses?

Actually, Sandra, a Great Pyr Rescue person is also a Humane Investigator in MI. She was involved with the horse case and now is trying to help them out, too! I sent the info to my brother, he's a horse person. Maybe he knows someone who can help!

That's great Sue!! Networking, as they say!! Your brother has horses??? Oh, lucky him!:) There just isn't enough "coverage" of the plight of abused and neglected horses:( Thanks to you friend!

Yes, Sandra, so true. In fact, a long while back, my sister-in-law was an investigator for the hooved animal humane society. She had to quit. The neglect and abuse was so horrible, it affected her too much (now this is a real strong person). She could not take it. I could not even listen to the stories. Way too sad.

How great of the Great Pyr Rescue to take on such a huge undertaking. :)

I hope they find homes for all those horses. :D

How fantastic that they are looking after bigger "dogs" :D Mind you, and Great Pyr is not much smaller than a horse anyway :D :D

Now about horses :
We live "out in the sticks" (or so people say), and there are many farms out here offering adjistment for horses.

About 3 months ago, the SPCA stepped in as some MAN (read LOSER< IDIOT) left his horse to starve .....

Now, YES, he is an IDIOT and the newspapers here put his full name and most of his address in the paper ..... but I also want to know - WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE WHOSE PROPERTY THE HORSE WAS ON!!!!!
Surely they have some responsibility.

I COULD NOT just leave the horse if someone was not looking after it .......... {{{{tears}}}}

Sorry .............. :(
