I am sad to report that Windchill, the 9 month old pony has died due to malnutrition.

I can tell you that the animal welfare place in Superior, just over the bridge, answered a call I once made immediately and took in all the pets. It was in a house which the owners had left to go to Vegas; several dogs, cats, a ferret, some other random animals I forget, were left in the midwinter in a house with no heat and the gas oven left open to warm the pets. They have a no-kill shelter there and they responded as if they were 911. That was nice to see. The owners called me repeatedly and left nasty phone messages for weeks though...then their house was condemned and torn down.

Sometime recently I also read that there was a house around here somewhere that was full of hundreds of cats, floors covered with dead ones and still live but feral ones attacked the people who went in to get them out. Oddly there were people living there also. You really have to wonder about things like that.

That is just freaky! I can't imagine how or why anyone would live like that except out of mental illness. I still can't understand how someone could let a 9 month old pony starve to death and sit outside in -40 F temperatures!

I agree with Lydia, go and get the cat, they probably wouldn't miss it anyway, and you can always say you thought it was a stray because no one was looking after it.

As for the dog story, I personally want to chain up or abuse owners in the same way they abuse animals, If anything makes my blood absolutely boil is cruelty to animals, they don't have the ability to help themselves get out of terrible situations as most humans can ( there are exceptions of course). There is absolutely no excuse for any form of cruelty, if a person can't/won't look after an animal for heavens sake they can call the animal authorities to have in removed.

What that Judge is doing in the grimes case is hideous, the judge should be applauding the woman. That is so unbelievable!

I agree 100%. Or perhaps instead of buying the animal in the first place, thinking it through and deciding if your lifestyle can feed and take care of the animal, instead of buying it on a whim.

Personally, I hope there is a special place in hell for people who abuse animals. In the meantime, I applaud the judge who sentenced a guy who'd abandoned a dog in a dump to spend a week of nights in the dump or pay a spectacular fine. After a single night, the guy paid the fine. I think he should've stayed in the dump with the other vermin.

I cannot imagine life without animals. My family has been blessed with many, many animals: almost twenty cats and maybe ten dogs, many of them strays. I have gotten cats from places like JC Penneys (someone dumped a kitten in housewares, if you can imagine that), from beneath the front porch of a Taco John's restaurant, and outside a dance studio. We've rescued cats from neighbors who didn't care about them after they got older, less cute, or pregnant. We accepted a pair of kittens from a friend who has taken in even more strays than we have over the years and got one of the world's greatest dogs when she just wandered up the alley one day and no one responded to found ads.

My daughter spent a day job shadowing at a veterinary clinic on Thursday and came home more determined than ever to become a vet. When she was about eight or nine, she called the sheriff on a drunk who she saw beating a shetland pony, and gave a very detailed and fiery report to the deputy who turned up at the door. She told the deputy that she didn't go beat the guy up herself because she thought someone his own size could do a more thorough job of it.

Good for you and your daughter Shanazel! We need more people like you in this world. I could not imagine ever hurting an animal or who could just dump an animal on the side of the road. Some people just have no heart at all.

Last week there was the most disgusting story in the news about a man who tied his dog to the car and dragged him after it. Just made me SICK! He has been sentenced to jail for a few months luckily! And the dog is still alive. How can anyone have so little respect for life to do something like that???!!

My friend told me the first time she was ever in Kentucky, she saw people throw a beagle out of their car on the freeway on purpose. She has no good memories of Kentucky after that.
