All of these horses have been living on manure. The owner had not feed the animals in months. One of the horses is thirty years old and has been beaten his entire life. 2 dead fouls were found in the guys shed. They got a court order to remove the animals in which they did most of them are at TEJAs one is at Rose's and the fouls are far away at foster parents. BUT THEY ARE ALL ORDERED BACK TO THE PRICK WHO DID THIS. HE IS A DRUG ADDICT AND WHEN HIS UNCLE DIED (the original owner) HE BLEW ALL OF THE MONEY.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANY ONE YOU MIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO COME OUT THERE IN THE MORNING MY NUMBER IS
Battle at wounded heart, Who’s you ask, and why, From the beginning let me start, It might even make you cry, There in the midst of nowhere near, A farm of sorts, There a sweet and little lady dear, Horses ducks and geese supports, A place of rescue, for the creatures, All are welcome, big or small, No matter what their features, From little birds, to horses tall, Twenty some horses did she now size, Abused, some already dead, The owner never heard their cries, He let them starve instead, On feces and manure were feeding, While the druggy owner wasted laid, Not ever heard their screams or bleating, Abandoned there behind a gate, The druggy now needs money quick, His misery he multiplies, The law he uses as a trick, Murder now he cries, Off to slaughter all he sends, To supplement his habit gross, Their cruel life, more cruel ends, So he, can buy another dose, What is sad, is that the law an ass, Allows this to proceed, Though alive, property he has, Exercise full reign his greed, My taxes will send the bully boys, Some club of neighbours, of such mind, To protest, I have a choice, But how, to reach the hearts so blind, Property that cannot talk, At the will of misery, From all around, Their hurt most cannot see, Again I ask, as I do so often, When will the laws reflect the truth? When will the hearts of owners soften? The hurt and pain of creatures soothe.©16/02/2010

Jasmin,
Our crimes and our cruelty will never end, I fear, but your great heart will never stop crying out against them...nor should it.

Jasmin,this story grips the heart with great sadness -- and absolute disgust for the soulless excuse of a man that would permit this to happen -- as for laws and justice, I do not know my friend -- we have the wrong people representing us in the governments -- money and power are all they know and care about -- thank you for your valiant efforts to raise awareness and protest these terrible deeds --peace and love be always with you my friend -- Jon Michael

Sickening. And the court system that allowed this is f...up. Instead of being jailed on animal cruelty charges this bunghole sell them for slaughter. Unreal.

So very, very sad and a crime in my books. Liz

The fall in World economy has effected more than humankind: animals are left to starve in many areas. Fortunately, over 500 horses have been saved from this tragedy in the past 6 months here in No. Texas. The Nation's Humane Society is swamped in trying to rescue animals of all kinds, and, sadly, many are overlooked.
Many of the owners are hard bent to feed their children, and must make a choice who to feed...I'm sure it's not a wanted choice they have to make. We can't include these owners in the group of sobs that just don't give a darn...as you expose in this poem, Jas!
Blessings and Love - Micke

Abused, some already dead,
The owner never heard their cries,
He let them starve instead

We atrocious human beings seem to have somehow lost our souls. More and more abandoned, abused, and near death animals, of all types, are now being found - every day. And your nation sadly seems as bad as ours.

And I sadly fear, it will only get worse.

I am envisioning a world without horses, elephants, tigers, buffalo, fish, birds...I don't think that God intended it to happen, so, why is man doing it? why we can't stop it? Maybe because we know that man will self destroy himself at the end and we have no power against stupidity.
