Re: [RC] Ratting people out - Truman Prevatt

In most states horses are classified as livestock so there is a different standard than there is for dogs, cats, etc. So you should check with local animal control.

This is something I've been wondering about for a while. There have been
some people in our area who don't take good care of their horses - no
farrier, either no worming or not often enough. In one particularly nasty
case, a young horse had a halter grown into its face and had sores. One day,
he and his two herd-mates escaped and ended up at our place. We cut the
halter off, and read the owner the riot act.

Anyway, my question is just how bad does it need to get before the animal
welfare people will really do something? I know if there are horses dying,
then they'll do something, but I don't want to call them just to have them
do nothing. If you're going to upset the applecart with the neighbors, I'd
be more willing to do it if it meant the horses were rescued. What I don't
want to see is PO'd neighbors AND the horses still there.
