Maria Borell - not so nice

[LARHAGE]

I don't place animals above people in general, though admittedly I find some people FAR less viable, however, people that make money off the backs of these animals and can lay their heads down at night with no remorse, knowing they are starving to death, well, there isn't a punishment too severe in my mind. I too have horses , and after my mortgage , the next bill is sufficient hay and supplements for all my horses to last till the next pay period, I'd rather I snack on Top Ramen then my horses go hungry, they depend on me. These people won a lot of money off these horses, it's simply deplorable, they should have given these horses away before they became like Silver Cliff, these people are vile , disgusting people. I hope they get banned from racing.

That's fine but most people are wired to provide for their family first and then their animals.

At least that's the way it was before central heating and air.

3 out of 43 horses were emaciated. 10 were underweight. Their defense will be heat/humidity for the 10 who were underweight and prior health problems for the 3 who were emaciated. They'll probably use the excuse that the medication/treatment for the 3 was too costly (and for most people it is).

The economy is in the tank, folks. Even the farm the horses were on is for sale for a measly $500,000.

Banks are hoarding cash. Loans are hard to come by.

The punishment will more than likely be lenient.

The story, although horrible, doesn't hide the fact only 3 out of 43 were in true danger.

How do you know only 3 were in danger? If they aren't being fed, what's the odd that they are getting vaccines and wormings and wound care, and believe me, horses need wound care. Vet care is expensive. If these scumbags can't pay for food, who knows what diseases these horses have. Foot care costs money. Tooth care costs money.
Whoopee. She's cute in a skirt.

I read a news story. I take it the articles linked in this thread failed to report public information?

It's out there you just have to do a simple search on a site like google or yahoo.

Yes they are awful people but these people wouldn't be heard of and there wouldn't be a thread if it wasn't for another awful person who took advantage of an obviously mentally unstable, wet behind the ears young woman.

So its Mattress Mack's fault that Maria Borell and her father are two criminals with long histories of animal neglect and negligence?

If they are two criminals with long histories of neglect then obviously he is partly to blame, Nick.

Unless you're one to believe a guy like him doesn't have the capability to ask around the backside about these two. If things have changed in the past decade then he would've had enough info to know they were bad news.

If he really loved his horses and it wasn't all about him and his ego then yeah he would've been overly cautious and not handed his best one over to her.

He is equally despicable and I think he needs booted out of the sport with them.

I've never said anything about her looks but I bet she could beat you a good 5 seconds in a 60 meter dash.
