Story hits the major press as Joe Drape has a thorough piece in the Times today... This story is going to snowball, and you can only hope it rids the game of Paragallo. He was a bad guy before this incident, and will be after it.

I must be the dumbest guy in the world, but how can a guy who owes half of of a 5 million a year stallion let this knownlingly happen?

because he didn't care. because he was 'disposing' of the horses, most of them barren mares, so maybe he thought 'why throw good money after bad'??
if barren mares are kept thin (his words) what are culled mares kept at? evidently they aren't 'kept' at all, but are allowed to starve, become lice-ridden, and aren't wormed or given other care. these horses were neglected, badly, while owned and in the care of paragallo. his responsibility didn't end when he thought he had someone taking them off his hands (a story i find less than believable, i doubt there is a fla farm), but when they actually left his care. because he didn't think they'd be in such bad shape when they got picked up-because he didn't think it would become a story....
you're confusing wealth with caring. the two are NOT synonymous.

I read Paragallo's response and this guy writes like he is in the third grade.How come in every transaction like this they can never seem to find "The Guy" who was taking the horses???? Sounds like these animals would have been better off being slaughtered than being in his care.

because there is no guy. EP made out like he gave these horses to someone, that they were picked up in december and then showed up last month in a kill pen. according to the driver, those horses came right from ernies farm-and he says he has paperwork to prove it...more to follow i'm sure.
