• It can not be stressed enough that a person should not own or care for horses unless they have the desire and resources to care for as they should be cared for.

• The topic of animal abuse/neglect is a difficult one, but definately one that is worthy of more attention and publicity. It happens much too often. Education alone isn't making much of a dent. Stiffer penalties, fines, & jail time are needed. Quicker response times are needed by Animal Control Departments. Thank you for the article - it was a good one. Please continue to post these types of articles.

• The history of civilized man was written from the back of a horse. Where you find the footprints of man, you will find the prints of a horse's hooves beside them. How anyone can treat these most noble of God's creatures in such a manner is both disgusting and criminal.

• You know, I'm usually not a big animal rights advocate, but the situation described here is aptly named: abominable. Wow...that's just sick. I'm glad that man is getting what he deserves, and that those horses are in a good home.

• Anyone who would contribute to the starvation of animals should be prosecuted beyond the limits set by law THERE IS NO EXCUSE

• I can't believe this guy was set free on bail. He should be locked up and starved, and forced to drink water with decompsing cockroaches in it! After 3 months he should be publicly hung in front of the Humane Society with full television coverage, of course.

• they should do that to him,,,,,,,,,,,

• It is not surprising to me that this man was set free after a few hours. Like most law officials think it was only horses, well people, most of the time felons are set free after a few hours when it is children too. So we live in a country where children and just animals can be starved and beaten, and it's "okay". Just get off with a slap on the hand.

• I can't believe the authorities let this man keep ANY of his animals, just because they're not "in danger of starvation." Well -- NOT YET! With several animals already yet and others in the process of dying, how can anyone expect this guy to take care of anything alive? I'm disgusted -- I think someone like that has forfeitted the right to care for anything alive!!!

• That is just horrible. I am glad that the guy turned himself in, but it should have been done a long time a go.
