Demand Felony Livestock Neglect Charges Against Veterinarian Jennafer Glaesemann

The Issue

This is plea for justice for horses who don't have a voice. We have to be their voice. Its time for a response from the Gage County Attorney Roger Harris. The horses murdered by Dr. Jennafer Glaesemann deserve justice.

Jennafer Glaesemann, a practicing veterinarian at both Blue Valley Veterinary Clinic in Beatrice, NE USA and Pickrell Vet Clinic in Pickrell, NE USA, starved over 60 of her personal horses for months this summer resulting in at least 16 dead horses between her two veterinary properties. The remaining 39 horses in her care were in dire condition, starved nearly to death and in desperate need of immediate veterinary attention for injuries due to fighting for food and lack of any preventative veterinary care when they were finally transferred to safety at Epona horse rescue near Crete, NE.  This horrifying neglect has been met with only misdemeanor charges, your help is needed to change that. As a veterinarian she should be held to a higher standard than your average horse owner, not a lower one. The 16+ murdered horses deserve justice and we won't stop until it happens. 

The severity of her actions should be recognized as felony livestock neglect, not merely misdemeanors. In Nebraska, where this occurred, the law states that "A person who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly abandons or cruelly neglects a livestock animal is guilty of a Class I misdemeanor unless the abandonment or cruel neglect results in serious injury or illness or death of the livestock animal, in which case it is a Class IV felony." (Nebraska Revised Statute 54-903). Starving over 16 horses to death and burying them in a mass grave just before the county fair certainly qualifies as a class IV felony which would also result in her losing her license to practice veterinary medicine indefinitely. Someone who would do this to their own animals should never practice veterinary medicine again.

The surviving horses deserve justice and the chance to live long happy lives away from her cruel and neglectful ways. It's time for the Gage County Attorney, Roger Harris to step up and file felony livestock neglect charges against Jennafer Glaesemann.

Please join us in demanding justice for these innocent animals by signing this petition today.

Please indicate if you are a Gage County Resident in the comment section. We, the Gage County Residents, are the ones paying the bills for the 39 remaining horses while Roger Harris continues to allow extensions and more time. If this continues we might be responsible for all of that care and they might return the horses for her to be able to finish the job. The remaining horses have lived through hell and deserve to never see her again. Your signature will help make sure the county attorney is accountable for the lack of progress in this case.
