HORRIFIC ANIMAL ABUSE IN MIAMI – TWO HORSES NAILED INSIDE STABLE AND LEFT TO DIE

 

It is always particularly heartbreaking for horse enthusiasts to hear about horses being abused. This is why the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) needs our help in brining national attention to this problem! July 8, 2013 (MIAMI, FL)  Two horribly abused horses are fighting for their lives today after being rescued Sunday by SOUTH FLORIDA SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The starving paint horses were found at a boarding facility in Miami Gardens, nailed inside a stable that had to be torn down in order to reach them.  According to Laurie Waggoner, director of ranch operations for SFSPCA, “Left without water, the horses were eating wood and their own manure (feces) in order to survive.”

“I’ve been doing this 20 years, and this mare ranks up there with the worst of them when they’re in that kind of condition. They usually have about a 50-50 chance of being rehabbed. We have to be very careful, starting out with very small quantities of food,” said Waggoner.
