The Issue

I am a concerned citizen of Houston, Texas, deeply disturbed by the ongoing neglect and endangerment of horses at Cypress Trails Ranch LLC. This for-profit business has been the subject of grave concern for years due to its alarming conditions. Despite numerous complaints and reports, there has been little to no intervention from local or state officials.

Horses are intelligent creatures that deserve our respect and care. Yet, at Cypress Trails Ranch, they are subjected to inhumane treatment that often results in severe injuries or even death by drowning. The lack of proper care is not only unethical but also against animal welfare laws. The ranch owner resides in a Half million Dollar home while the horses suffer in squalor and unsafe conditions. The Ranch has flooded and horses have lost lives or developed health conditions including lung infections due to breathing in water while struggling to stay alive  in 2019, 2017, 2016, 2001, 1994.  

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), every year thousands of horses across America suffer from neglect or abuse (source: ASPCA). It's heartbreaking that some of these cases come from our own community here in Houston.

We need immediate action from our local authorities. We call on them to investigate Cypress Trails Ranch LLC thoroughly and take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of these innocent animals.  The drownings of horses must end at this facility, there is no way possible to relocate these horses in time to avoid future drownings and medical conditions.  

It's time we stand up against such blatant disregard for life. Let's show that we value compassion over profit; let's demand justice for these horses who can't speak up for themselves.
