As I stated before, don't judge until you know the whole story, not just what is printed in the newspaper which all of us know is blowed out of proportion most of the time.
This woman is a very responsible owner and a person who has taken in several neglected horses to rehabilitate and now because of her divorce circumstances is being made out to be a bad person because she wasn't allowed to sell, give away or even give these horses away for fostering to save them.
THis was a court order that she couldn't do anything with these horses or she would be in contempt of court, now you tell me, who is to blame?
How would you feel knowing your animals were starving and you couldn't do anything about it, noone cared enough to help, until the time came that it would make you look like you were to blame because of what was happening to them.
The Humane Society knew she had no income to take care of these horses Dec 06, but do you think they would help, no, they waited till they looked like Buffy to step in, and that made the owner look they were the bad person, when in fact it is our court system that created the circumstances these horses were put in.
And by the way, Buffy is a 32yr old horse, who has always been sway back, her eye injury is several yrs old, due to an injury caused by barb wire and yes the vet was called the same day it happened. So if any of you own that old of a horse you know how hard it is to keep weight on them and then being put into the circumstances she was made it even worse.
So again, don't judge until you know the whole story, and even now I can't tell it all. But I know that no matter what I say it will just go in one ear and out the other with some.
I get on here alot but because of how abusive some get on here I don't even post, but in this case, I know alot more than all of you ever will.
