I have been working with rescue groups in the Southern California area for awhile, and this sort of story is all too common (though not usually on such a large scale with so many horses dumped from the same source). Sorry, I just don't buy the "I made a business decision and had no idea what would happen, I trusted the guy who picked them up" story when this jerk offered up in bulk a large amount of horses FOR FREE (according to the comments he's apparently made). That's a kill buyer's dream situation, and you can't tell me he didn't have a clue that those horses were in serious danger of being sold to slaughter. What he did was not illegal - but certainly inhumane and morally wrong IMO. Its so sad....
