Upstate NY horse abuse case: 177 thoroughbreds rescued; 67 up for adoption

[Guest guest]

Shame on the "well-known authorized agent" of thoroughbreds, Ernie Paragallo, who let this happen to 177 thoroughbreds on a 500-acre farm in Upstate NY. The perp was ONLY CHARGED with 22 counts of MISDEMEANOR animal cruelty. All of his racing privileges have been revoked.

ARTICLE: http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/04/17/1895781.aspx ----> I love Jill Rappaport; she writes: "Thoroughbreds--once beautiful thriving animals--were left for months during one of the worst winters we ever had to fend for themselves."

 

The Columbia-Greene Humane Society was tipped off and raided the farm, where they seized all the horses. However, the perp has only signed over 67 of the horses to the Humane Society, which ARE UP FOR ADOPTION, FREE to approved homes.
