I really dont care who is doing what from the government, some people are doing something very wrong and I think there is enough reporting to know who is at the head of the pack, how deep the accomplices go is just obscuring a rather simple point, the severe neglect of these horses.

So she gets punished then what? The rich owner will still be around. Horses will still be neglected.

And the investigative journalist might be the sweetest and most honest human on the planet but the fact remains her last name is RANSOM. And this is a flat-out ransom on a young woman's character and no new hit pieces on the despicable owner who was so greedy he had his lawyers write up contracts to take trainers purses and remove all liability from the one enabling her to continue.

I mean if we can't get assholes like that out of the sport punishing this young lady isn't going to solve a thing.

I just skimmed over a few articles and accompanying comments about this "TMZ piece".

Before it's said and done there will probably be protests in Frankfort placing blame squarely on the governor's feet. Even though he's new and the state has far bigger problems than animal cruelty.

It's just hard to believe a traditionally hard blue state government never got sufficient animal cruelty laws passed. I guess it's that damned tea party's fault.

>>>Officials with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture June 29 charged Chuck Borell, the father of trainer Maria Borell, with 43 counts of second-degree cruelty to animals in connection with the apparent abandonment of horses at a 121-acre farm in Central Kentucky.<<<

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.
