For Ginny on your return...

[Danielle_E.]

I thought it was important that you see this. First off I want to applaud you and all the members of the BOD of CMHR, you did an AWESOME job and I am so very sorry that the door got shut in your face once more, just glad you are on the road, safe and sound...

I know when you see this it will confirm what you were saying... Sheriff telling different things to different people.... This was written on Wednesday... I was going to post this on the main forum but didn't want to start a war, lol.

Subject: [LSER-HfHMembers] Kansas Sheriff okay

I just had a long talk with Sheriff Harold Coleman. He assured me that the

situation with the miniature horse would be resolved by Friday. I believe

him because:

He and several of his deputies have been spending a lot of time with the

horses. He assured me they are not cold hearted. He is a cattleman.

He said it is not a quantity of feed issue but a quality of feed issue. He

said the area experienced a prolonged drought and hay was nearly impossible

to get - let alone good hay. Having experienced this situation myself (I

could not get ANY hay, had to start feeding alfalfa pellets) I understand.

He said that poor feed, parasites and dominance issues were the reason half

the herd is in deterioating condition. He said the other half is in fair

conditon. Many of the horses are aged.

He said there are some hoof issues but that all of the horses could walk

and get up and down.

He believes the horses got in the condition they are in because the owner

has too many. I told him that our members have offered to take some of the

animals, some had even offered to pay for the horses. He said that would be

the best action - to reduce the herd.

A Veterinarian from KSU (not KU) is scheduled to evaluate the horses

tomorrow. They are already being treated for the parasites, fed and

watered.

He told me the horses would be cared for even if it was at the expense of

the county.

He said a reporter from KOAM was out with the horses all day yesterday and

told him the situation was not as it had been depicted to him. The Sheriff

was hoping the TV station would air the report to set the record straight.

He said his office has been inundated with phone calls, some from as far

away as New Zealand. They have received threats. He said a lot of the

things he has been accused of are misunderstandings or are outright false.

He said it did not matter about the threats- they are handling it because

it is their duty to do so. The phone calls are not helping because they

take up so much staff time. It was obvious he was exhausted explaining

himself and the situation. I appreciated him talking to me and told him so.

He is going to find out if the owner will sell the horses. I told him it

would have to be a reasonable price based on their age and condition. He

understood and asked me to call back on Friday.

I will call back on Friday. I will continue to monitor what is happening to

the minis with the Sheriff himself. I want to stay in this man's good

esteem - he is the key.

OH and see you don't have to worry, the county is going to pay for the upkeep of the herd

Cowgirlways, please let it rest or go tell this to "Boo" one of his horses. I am not interested in hearing one or the other, pro or against. It's done now. Please go post this somewhere else but on this forum. CMHR worked hard and so did the other rescues and volunteers, against some roadblocks. Have a nice evening and take care.

You sound like a very intelligent woman miniwhinny :no: Do you treat everyone like you just did here? Very sad if you do.

And to you Danielle, This is so unkind of you to act like a child when posting. I will deleat my account because of people like you that seem to have all the answers, don't believe in freedom of speach, and are very rude to others. I just can't understand how some one can treat others like this. [SIZE=14pt]Very bad eye sore for this website[/SIZE]

People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

please stop fighting! This kind of talk will not help anything and is just not at all constructive
