RE: [RC] How to HELP Horses/Mississipi - beth gloverMaryann; I saw dead horses on TV, bloated with their legs sticking up, rottin under piles of debris on his front yard. This man is a breeder of Minis, he is not a stupid idiot feeding them with sacks of grain. Maybe he took in extra hay, and water etc, but if you read my story completely you would have read that the surrounding homes are piles of rubble. Perhaps his extra supplies of hay or feed were destroyed by the 20 foot storm surge and 200 mph winds, you think?? No his lawn is not manicured to graze the mini's and founder them, there is NO manicured lawn left to speak of. There is mud and head high piles of stacks of broken lumber, glass, bricks, electric wires. Those doctors were lucky to have a nice brick home, which has a few walls standing, but their windows were all blown out, if someone nailed plywood up, it was ripped away, roofs shingles are missing. The horses are not standing in water blocked by fences, dying of stress, there are no fences left. He has safely gathered his entire herd into a couple of stalls. He was just ONE example of what livestock owners in that area are dealing with. Its not just his horses either, its his neighbors and family who are curled up on the street crying cause all that 's left of their home is a flower pot, a wet remote, and a pile of lumber. I'm not sure exactly what your point of flaming me was. You can be sure that if it was your horse, or my horse, let alone our whole life, we'd be crying on TV too. For anyone else interested, the AMHA has recieved many calls and donations, and they have people going down to that area to assist the Bradfords and their neighbors with food, water, supplies for the humans and the pets. It feels kind of nice to be able to direct a donation to a particular face or small community, somewhat like adopting a family. Already we can track the progress of that community, on www.amha.org Beth
