I NEED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF HORSES IN TENNESSEE AND TO CHANGE THE LAWS IN THIS STATE AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES REASONABLE CARE, WHAT IS GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE SEIZURE OF HORSES AND STIFFER PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE THAT ABUSE AND NEGLECT THERE HORSES. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE AG EXTENSION AGENCIES SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TOO BELIEVE THAT THE OWNER HAS HAD TOO FAIL UNREASONABLY TO PROVIDE NECESSARY FOOD, WATER, CARE OR SHELTER FOR AN ANIMAL IN HIS CUSTODY. AS LONG AS THEY FIND SO MUCH AS A BALE OF HAY AND SOME WATER ON THE PROPERTY, THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE GROUNDS TO SEIZE THE HORSES. LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND TELL THE STATE OF TENNESSEE IF REASONABLE FOOD, WATER AND CARE IS BEING GIVEN TO THIS HORSES AND THOUSANDS MORE LIKE IT! 

IT MIGHT ALREADY BE TOO LATE TO SAVE THIS HORSES AND THE HUNDREDS LEFT ON THIS FARM, BUT IT JUST MIGHT SAVE THOUSANDS IN THE FUTURE. HORSES ALL OVER THE STATE ARE SUFFERING AND DYING BECAUSE THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE USE THESE VERY MINIMAL LAWS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND HOW EASY THEY CAN SKIRT AROUND THEM. WE NEED A CLAUSE IN THE LAW TO DEFINE WHAT CONSTITUTES IMMEDIATE SEIZURE OF HORSES IN DYER NEED. AND A REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS OF CRUELTY AND NEGLECT COMPLAINTS.
