Is there ANY way to stop this woman from taking in horses???? ANY WAY???? Suggestions are welcome!!!! This thread is beyond ridiculous, but the bottom line is that, yes, Lin ends up with yet another horse she seems incapable of dealing with to begin with. She had no idea how to catch him, spent days chasing him around. There was the required drama to make sure he HAD to end up with our Lady of EPONA, and finally, she got her hands on him! The enablers are God Blessing her all over the place, and personally, I feel sick. Here's the topper- Lin recently posted ANOTHER thread about two horses that were delivered to her door in STARVING condition. What did Lin do? 1) Refuse to take them because she is already past full, working, and understaffed? 2) CALL THE AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY, this is at the very least a neglect case, but more likely an abuse case, as Lin was stating the mare would most likely have to be put down ASAP, 3) not say one word to the people who brought these horses in starved condition to her house, not call the authorities, and simply take them in, and immediately begin posting about them. If you chose 3, you know Lin very well. I do think the mare was saved, as a more knowledgeable Rescue stepped in and pointed out that the mare was probably not in need of Euthanizing. WHY does someone so inept continue to take in horses????? WHY do people continue to support her???? I truly believe we need some sort of certification program in place to weed out the Lins and Jims in the Rescue world. They CANNOT say "NO" on their own-they seem completely incapable of it. So now, Lin adds 3 to her already too high numbers, and I believe she has one of her other horses coming back, so let's make it 4. Winter is coming, she has babies, no strong volunteer base, and as usual, her plan is to fundraise for these horses. We really need to stop these people. How can we do that? You don't have to worry about the "Ugly Truck" when we have places like these to dole out their own special kind of "love". I will continue to keep a close eye on EPONA, because it represents all that is wrong with Rescue to me. Actually, I have never considered her a Rescue, more a grifter and a hoarder. That she can talk people into donating property, vehicles, money, and just about anything else she needs, and STILL fail at Rescue is a true testament to her abilities. I wonder how many poor horses will end up there before Winter comes, and how many will make it through. Let's continue to enable her, though. When this whole thing falls apart, you can all cry and pray-that seems to be a big part of enabling, too, and it seems some have gotten very good at it. A side note to Careen-how many more of these "Rescues" will you associate yourself with, and more important-WHY ARE YOU?????

Not sure how you missed it, but another ABR rescue gets in trouble. HMER just got shut down. 55 horses impounded, several dead on the property, no water, and horses in very bad shape.
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't miss it, it just hasn't been posted yet. The problem is we just can't seem to keep up with the nightmares (no pun intended) that continue to unfold in the name of "Rescue". I know a lot of folks aren't getting this, but I'll say it again. THIS is what you are telling people the alternative to Slaughter is. If THIS is the best you can do, we've got a huge problem on our hands. The thought of horses slowly starving to death at the hands of ANYONE- Pro horse, or Anti Slaughter, is appalling and unacceptable. It is not my fault that in each and every case we have heard about, those doing the slow kill are Anti Slaughter, and claiming to be saving these horses from the awful fate that awaits them on the "Ugly Truck". Those who enable these people time and time again are just as guilty when these horses are starved and killed. But by all means, let's focus our tunnel vision on Slaughter, and continue to believe, as some have already stated that these death camps are a better alternative to Slaughter.
