What were they thinking?

[sumitas]

they should be hung

[pmayjr]

What's so wrong with saying

"I've gone under, I have no money to take care of your horses, please come and take them from me. Sorry for the inconvenience"

It certianly beats any statement you'll be forced to give to state authorities involving animal cruelty charges. How can this guy let his pride get in the way here? What a moron.

GO TO HELL YOU HORSE MURDERS!!!

There are some disturbed people in this world.

Two receive prison sentence for stealing horses from Thistledown
(no author listed)

Two men convicted of stealing two horses from their stalls at Thistledown in North Randall, Ohio, were sentenced to six months in prison.

Assistant [Cuyahoga] County Prosecutor Jeffrey Kocian asked Judge Eileen T. Gallagher to give 37-year-old defendants Charles Burneson, a licensed trainer, of Chippewa Lake and John Queen of Grove City the maximum 18 months in prison for theft, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The horses—Jakeman and For All You Girls--were sold to a slaughterhouse after the pair sold them for $250 apiece to an auctioneer.

"What we have here are two barbarians who saw nothing but meat walking around with four legs," Kocian said, according to the Plain Dealer.

Both horses were going to be donated by owner-trainer Mike Newell of Fort Erie, Ontario, to Canter, a nonprofit farm that enables racehorses to live out their lives as show horses, breeding stock, or pets.

Gallagher also ordered that the Ohio Racing Commission be notified of the pair's convictions and sentencing.

Yeah I know the people who owned the Farm before them. They sold out thru foreclosure and aucton's. This is going on everywhere not just in my home state. Sorry basterd that's what they are to me.

I worked for the Massachusetts SPCA for 8 years. People (if you can call them that) come up with some unbelieveable excuses for abuse and neglect. The scary part is they actually believe they're not in the wrong and besides it's just a dog, cat, horse, etc.. It's a field with high burnout rate for a reason. But then again, child molesters are getting away with slaps on the wrists and little jail time so why would the court system be tough on animal abusers.
