I understand what you're saying Ann. There's a local news story this week about a man arrested for starving several horses - some literally to death. And there was food ON THE PROPERTY!! He just hadn't bothered to feed them in so long that some of the horses have had to be put down and others still may not make it. These poor horses hipbones and spines.....
WHY? Why would you not feed them when you have the food right there?!?!
I've been thinking about this for two straight days and I'm still just so angry. Sorry, it's probably obvious I'm no help in how to distance ourselves from these issues. I do come read the threads in this forum often, but I don't always reply.....I just get so worked up, and then some threads truly leave me speechless.
