This is my first post on this thread.....but believe me, I have been diligently reading all along...and I'm just as horrified as the rest of you.
I haven't posted, as I didn't think I had any suggestions to add. But, I've been e-mailing & racking my brain trying to come up with other ideas. One thing I read keeps coming back to me as strange. It was said that Mr. Trembly lives in "Government Housing". I work for Section 8 Metropolitan Housing here in Miami Co., Ohio....and I don't see how he could possibly be receiving Government assistance with all the assets he has in his name.
: Government housing is based on income...which includes assets. He may not be getting a lot of income, BUT...he certainly has lots of assets (Land & animals) that we know of.
Of course, contacting the authorities to check on this would take time, red tape (you know how the government works.
: )...and would only result in Mr. Trembly possibly losing his Government assisted housing. It wouldn't help these poor horses situation at all. :no:
I hope the TV networks blow this whole thing out of the water & the entire nation becomes aware. Maybe then, something will be done. I only hope it's not too late.
I'm worried, too, that the TV reporters get the truthful story. Do we have any representatives talking to them to tell them what is actually happening, or are they just going to be fed the same bull from the Sheriff's Dept.?
I keep getting flashbacks from the Guide Horse fiasco...and how they really played into the media (because it was a "warm fuzzy" story) & fed them all sorts of lies & half-truths about Miniatures being perfect for that use....just for publicity, to promote their books & get donations for their "Program".
: The media ate it up....never giving the "other side of the story" a chance! It just didn't make good press. :no:
