So yesterday I was coming in late for a doctor's appointment and it was actually daylight on my one hour commute. About 5 miles from home, I saw three skinny horses grazing alongside the road by a bean field. One was "ribby," one was "thin" and one poor little buckskin was so emaciated that I doubt he will be alive in 30 days.
Others were going for the owners to get the horses contained, and I learned how to get to their home.
Hubby says to go drop a 6x round bale in their field and try to talk to them, but how does a person like me, who is, well...perhaps more passionate than diplomatic...approach someone about starving their horses? I realize they probably can't afford hay and feed...but dang it, I'll bet they're eating every night.
There just isn't a nice way to say, "What the #$%#$@ is wrong with you @#$%$ Q%E!$@ people, why the #$^#$ are you starving your horses?!!!"
Calling the overwhelmed Humane society in a huge rural area may not be the best solution.
