Brian Travis invaded by bureaucrats

[lastlady]

It's strange reading all this I'm not sure where I fit in.

I care about human beings and animals, I hate factory farming and cruelty towards animals. I think if I saw someone beating their dog I would probably say something or try to stop it, I couldn't stand knowing an animal is being harmed in my presence. Just like if I saw someone beating their kid or another human being. But I eat meat and therefor I am a hypocrite, I understand. I don't like what the NHSPCA did and do NOT approve. But I care about animals and don't look at them like "property" like I would a car or tool.


I like the idea of stewardship of the land and her creatues not ownership. I think the Native Americans had a better idea of how to appreciate and honor the Earth and all that dwell on her.

I agree with what Mainshark posts but I am curious Joe, what would you do if your neighbor abused their animals? I have had neighbors that did just that and it was sickening. I had to at least secretly feed the poor dear and give it water. It would be chained for days with no shade and no water or food and with only a few feet to move around. I never called the thugs but I can't live in a world where I just let an animal suffer either.

I tried to talk to the neighbor and they said fuck off, I moved but wanted to steal their "property" poor thing and give it a new life. I didn't but not because I didn't want to.

Am I alone here?

No, you're not alone.  My views are essentially the same as yours.  And, like you, I refrain from violently forcing my views on others, no matter how much their behavior disgusts me.

I hope you wrote it, that way the idiot kids can look to an idiot old person for that kind and special knowledge that illiteracy brings.

Maybe it was the spelling and grammar fairy!

You're right, my grammer is crap along with my spelling.I guess the real question is who realy has control .    news flash none of us.....    Look for more news and see for you're selves the bullshit we all have been given .the report comming on tuesday will intrest most of you. Lets see if Brian and his wife start making apologies or try to turn the truth into more poor me crap.

good thing taking care of horses doesn't mean you have to be even somewhat literate.  I've seen better spelling and grammar from mentally handicapped people.  To think, they let YOU steal horses.  Geez anyone can get a job in this economy huh?

I drove through Hot Springs, Arkansas, yesterday. It's home to Oaklawn Park, one of the premier thoroughbred racing tracks in the country.

Naturally there are many horse farms along Highway 7, for breeders, trainers and boarding stables, so I got to see lots of pampered horses in green pastures with hay feeders also available, and barns that cost more than any house I'll ever own.

After a very mild Arkansas winter (no snow at all), every single one of these very expensive race horses had visible ribs.

Better keep Sprowl away from Rockingham.

Mr. Craig, This is a very good point. It is not uncommon to see many many horses "ribby" during late winter/early spring all across the nation. It is a sad state of affairs that some people with false authority ruin peoples lives.

IMO, if these horses were in fact starving and worm infested why didn't the state/fed help out the owners and drop off some hay and worm paste? Instead of busting in and making all this drama and wasting money.

I don't think it's the "state/fed" role to spend other people's money doing such things. But it's important to ask why the private NHSPCA didn't attempt to secure the help they allege the horses need, before calling police.
