This message is from: Karen McCarthy <weeg...@hotmail.com> Reena, and anyone else offended by the picture - I'm really sorry, i should have included a warning. It is a small picture, but all the same very plain as day: this pony is not sleeping. Re. keeping tabs on horses...yes, Reena, in my area I do this. I have reported a very close neighbor to us, but to no avail. I suppose if I went to state level or HSUS, maybe our redneck sherriff's dept. would take action. I am actually looking into Oregon state livestock & ag laws...in a strange way the cattle may have more protection than the horses due to laws on the books re. management, and maybe if they show up to check on the cattle, they just might look at the horses too and then get the sherriffs off of thier collective butts. Even w/ 3 call-ins to date, face to face interviews & photos, this local sherriffs dept. & AC is a joke. I remember Lisa P. saying something similar about law enforcement of animal abuse cases in S. Utah, something to the effect that they "just like to carry guns" (Lisa help me out here ;~) Anyway, hope to see more discussion on establishing some kind of Fjord rescue. I even have a chunk of money that needs to go to a horsey cause to help get it going. Ideas anyone?
