I have spoken with another rescue in ohio and this is again a rescue situation. It is very convoluted though and its very hard to get to the bottom of this. Some of you may remember we went thru this a couple months ago involving the pics of the dead mare foaling. This is the same farm. At that time i had called the county sherrif and animal control and was told this was false and that they were taking care of this situation and would let me know if they needed help. To make a long story short there is a lot of politics playing into this situation. The sherrifs dept and animal control now claim they never knew about this until last week. Well that simply isnt true because myself and others talked to them about this months ago!! I am so upset.
Here is the story as of today----The owner is apparently coming home on weekends and then leaves thru the week with all the animals home alone. They found 28 dogs in the house but since the woman entered illegally she is in big trouble. The owner supposedly took the 28 dogs to the vet and asked him to put them down. He would only put down one. She has now relocated the dogs but no one knows where. She is threatening to put down all remaining animals.
Numerous government agencies have looked at the property from the street. They can see the dead mare decomposing out back. The other horses they say look okay. The horses have water but no hay. They do have grass. There are however horses and possibly other animals locked in the barn. Animal control and the sherrifs office refuse to go in saying there is no probable cause as the animals they can see look okay.
The ohio rescue has asked me to post the home numbers of the county commissioners so that we can hopefully force them to send someone in this weekend to check the horses in the barn.
These are the county commissioners HOME phone numbers. When you call tell them that the sherrif and animal control were contacted months ago and that you want something done
My fear is that someone who doesnt know minis may think a mini with a big pot belly is fat when we all know its starving. Paula with the rescue is trying to send me pics she took of the minis outside.
I have also told Paula that we have two wonderful state coordinators there to help and I myself will drive to ohio monday if they need me
