Allen yes I completely agree with you.There are still many more animals living there & they all need to be saved.The animal cruelty should be taking all remaining animals from the property even the animals they try & hide.If you can’t afford to take care of animals then don’t have them point blank but don’t make the animals suffer.Thank you to everyone who is still fighting to save Ebony & all the others lives.

I had seen numerous times the neglect of these people on Crownsdale Court. I myself have called many times. I thank God they finally got there and helped. There are still animals on the property that are sick and need their help. Justice will be served if they all go to jail for a very long time.

I hate when people get a million animals & can’t afford to take care of them.I completely agree with the crowndale resident, there has been numerous people over there but why do they wait til now when the animals are half dead to take them out of them homes.And why didn’t they take all the animals,not just the horses & goats.There were a lot more animals living there then they captured.Really hope that Ebony lives & gets a full recovery along with all the other animals.What was the other horses name that died?

It is going to take a long time to change the mentality in our area that animals do not mean much. Education is the means to do this. Please volunteer at schools if you have been involved in rescue. Kids need to understand the needs of animals and that they are not disposable.

I was one of the volunteers. The firemen and police department get to much credit. They were a huge help dont get me wrong, however, there roll other than letting us borrow the comealong and just lending a hand move the horse was minimal. If it wasn’t for the county animal control detective I dont believe it would have been done with the same great results

The condition of this animal is absolutely abominable, and there is no excuse as to why if this animal had been visited by animal control. and still became so emaciated…… and the other having to be put down, these creatures do not get into this condition in a matter of days or even a few weeks, this is a long term situation………it amazes me how up here in the panhandle very few horse owners have stables erected for their horses, these are domesticated animals, not wild mustangs and they do not have the stamina of the wild horses. too many live in disgusting conditions, with pure dirt enclosures, no fresh green grazing and only the cheapest of hay for a diet, I wonder how many recieve vet care on a regular basis? when we take on the responsibility of a creature we are responsible for its care, and they should be treated as we would wish to be treated if we were in their shoes, shucks many of them dont even have shows, and rarely see a farrier……… sad

The people that owned all the animals seized on Crowndale should have lost them a long time before this. I’ve seen animal control at the house a couple times in the last few months. I don’t know why something wasn’t done about the malnourished horse then. She didn’t get this way overnight. Thanks to Diane Lowery and PER for all they do. Special place in the pearly gates for people like you.
