What does the VERY first sentence say? The point I was making is that simply looking at an animal MAY not tell the whole story, as what happened with my neighbor. I am also a responsible pet owner, and my animals are well taken care of, with some common sense about what they need and what I can afford. Simply anonymously calling PER or the Sheriff's office about a potential abuse case can really hurt someone who, ultimately, is trying to help an animal. All I was saying is to report with caution and consider the whole scenario set before you. I'm not saying these guys don't deserve what they have coming at all! I'm also pretty smart, so I think my brain is all there!! @Julie: READ my post. What does the VERY first sentence say?

If you have half a brain you can tell the difference between age and neglect. I saw pics of the property these horses were contained on and it didn't take a rocket scientist to see neglect. Throw the book at these abusers. No excuse for abuse. If you have half a brain you can tell the difference between age and neglect.

However, PLEASE keep in mind that not all animals that appear poor are abused. In fact, quite the opposite might be the case, and a false claim of abuse can cost an honest, loving animal owner unnecessary expense to prove their innocence. Case in point: My neighbor was accused of animal neglect abuse because she had three horses and one of them, an elderly animal, failed to put on weight after the winter months, even though it had an abundance of grass, water and was fed everyday. The horse remained thin. Now, she has to have the vet come out and check the horse out when it's nothing more than age. Even the animal control officer said that it was obvious all the animals on the property were well taken care of - fat, in fact. The issue was with the HORSE, not the owner. Please think before you call - use your eyes and make an educated, non-emotional assessment before ruining someone else's financial health with false claims.

Same poor horses, I hope they don't give these horses back to them! They weren’t supposed to possess animals from a previous arrest!

It seems to me that these people get off easy, get more animals, and then abuse these poor creatures all over again. Good.
