[Rudeboyelvis]

If Borell has the money to fight it this could go on for years.

Silver Cliff has been moved to Blackburn Correctional Facility. 5 others were moved but unknown where they ended up.

Wonderful to hear. Also, as of right now, no loss of life.

Hopefully the DA isn't too strict and takes a plea of guilt for the 3 who were emaciated. Otherwise it's going to be slow-walked.

Well, they seem to lack money unless they're sitting on a pile of it and just not paying anybody. We know the non-payment's been a frequent claim. What did you mean 'Hopefully the DA isn't too strict'? They're horrible people. The stricter the better.

Regarding the BH piece: typical, Maria's playing hide and go seek. She likes to be hard to find when people wanna pin her down on this stuff. The comments section got shut down on that one because people were being 'uncivil.' Not sure what they could've been saying that wasn't earned by the Borells. I guess BH doesn't wanna get sued so they don't let rants go on too much before just calling it a day. I find it hard to believe anybody was defending her. Did anybody get a look at them before they went away?

Updated, she also faces 43 charges. They are trying to locate her so she can be taken into custody

They're housing inmates in Jefferson County in basketball gyms, ffs.

If we gave people proper punishment over half the country would be in prison.

The comments were probably closed due to multiple wishes of death. A lot of Americans value the lives of pets more than they do humans.

And I don't give a s.hit if people agree with me or not. The Borells will be punished and the bigger "predators" will still be buying horses and having their uncles, cousins, skeeter down the holler, etc train their horses.

I don't place animals above people in general, though admittedly I find some people FAR less viable, however, people that make money off the backs of these animals and can lay their heads down at night with no remorse, knowing they are starving to death, well, there isn't a punishment too severe in my mind. I too have horses , and after my mortgage , the next bill is sufficient hay and supplements for all my horses to last till the next pay period, I'd rather I snack on Top Ramen then my horses go hungry, they depend on me. These people won a lot of money off these horses, it's simply deplorable, they should have given these horses away before they became like Silver Cliff, these people are vile , disgusting people. I hope they get banned from racing.

That's fine but most people are wired to provide for their family first and then their animals.

At least that's the way it was before central heating and air.

3 out of 43 horses were emaciated. 10 were underweight. Their defense will be heat/humidity for the 10 who were underweight and prior health problems for the 3 who were emaciated. They'll probably use the excuse that the medication/treatment for the 3 was too costly (and for most people it is).

The economy is in the tank, folks. Even the farm the horses were on is for sale for a measly $500,000.

Banks are hoarding cash. Loans are hard to come by.

The punishment will more than likely be lenient.

The story, although horrible, doesn't hide the fact only 3 out of 43 were in true danger.

[ElPrado]

How do you know only 3 were in danger? If they aren't being fed, what's the odd that they are getting vaccines and wormings and wound care, and believe me, horses need wound care. Vet care is expensive. If these scumbags can't pay for food, who knows what diseases these horses have. Foot care costs money. Tooth care costs money.
Whoopee. She's cute in a skirt.
