Just off the phone with Donna Keen. She will be on ATR in the morning (9:15a ET).
The situation on this 400 acres farm has not even been characterized as graphically or as horribly as what was encountered. Horses were eating dirt and bark for several months to survive. As many as 120 were believed to be on the property and 63 are currently being attented to, so it's believed that as many as 50 simply died where they fell in recent months. Carcasses were strewn all over the property. Complaints had been coming in since November and local authorities -- including the overwhelmed local Humane Society -- appear to have been protecting or trying to 'assist' the farm owner. Not until some photographs leaked out was there active movement to sieze the animals. There appears to be a number of rescue groups stepping forward to take animals well enough to be moved. Those that are being nursed back to health are the priority for Mrs. Keen and 'Remember Me' and whatever people can do to help raise the $450/day for feed will be appreciated. (That number does not even include the vet services that are necessary.) Anyway.. more tomorrow and thanks to those who have already donated.

http://lahorserescue.com/horsesofmany.html NO pictures are on the link above. Despite round the clock medical care with LSU Equine Vets and staff, 3 of the babies have sadly died at the Folsom Farm that took them. I am going to Folsom, LA tomorrow to help care for 4 horses with pneumonia. LHRA is also looking for volunteers to help provide scheduled care for these horses. And Remember Me Rescue reports they are on route back to Texas with 4 other horses.
