Last year there was a man here that they were going to take his horses away. I do think it is not good the way he cares for them. He has moved them lots of time and some have only been sold by feed dealers trying to collect some for their feed. It turned out that they decided 12 out of 150 were malnourished, but they were brood mares with large colts and the state vet over ruled.
Yet, I tried for years to get them to take the cattle away from my neighbor. It seems the county attorney kept blocking it as he and the man's son had been classmates. One night after church a bull, probably 3-4 years old and waist high on me was on our porch right in front of the door when we got home. I made him move. He was killed on the highway in front of my house an hour later. There were several killed over the years. My sister hit one and totalled her car and messed up her knee. Dad called them and they said they would be right out. Dad said last year, "I know those people are Christians and would not lie, they must be still on the way." It happened 30 years prior to that. I went to the district judge to go over the head of the county. The Sheriff went over his head too by getting a group from Dallas involved. They rounded them up and sold them. They has starved so long and in bred so much that when they fed them several died. His fence is 30 feet from the back of my house. There were 48 carcases behind my house, some 30 yards away in the mesquite. Several died in the lake. Two died and slid under the fence into my pasture. This man should have been shot at dawn. A neighbor and I fed them sometimes. I have seen calves no bigger than blue heelers when I fed them. I once set up a pen in the pasture to catch my landlord's bull who had gone there. There was one cow in heat and 23 bulls following her. I caught them and told the people that I would haul them to the sale barn for nothing. They told me to let them go.
I do not understand either of these issues. Why would someone want to blame an innocent person? Why when someone is guilty can't we save the livestock?
Both issues make me sick.
