How YOU can help.

People have been asking me what they can do about JCAC's handling of the Turn 3 horses. Regardless of what they believe to be true about the accused, they are as appalled as I was to see the condition of the horses that JCAC sold at auction 6-7 months after the farm seizure.


Here's what EVERYONE can do:

Write a handwritten letter. Mail it in an envelope, with a stamp. (A mailed letter will get more attention than 20 emails.)

Send it to these people:

Kevin Ragan, News Director
WILX-TV
500 American Road
Lansing, MI 48911

Kaci Lyons, Producer
WILX-TV
500 American Road
Lansing, MI 48911

Beth Shayne, Reporter
WILX-TV
500 American Road
Lansing, MI 48911

Richard Ramhoff, President and Publisher
Lansing State Journal
120 E. Lenawee St.
Lansing, MI 48919

Michael Hirten, Executive Editor
Lansing State Journal
120 E. Lenawee St.
Lansing, MI 48919

In the letter you should reference you read an article/saw a news story on _____ date and discovered errors in the facts presented, and an unbalanced slant to the story. You feel it is the responsibility of the media to present a more fair and balanced representation of the story. Present a summary of your side of the story and your stance.

Do it immediately! If you wait, you will forget. We want media coverage before the final sale of Turn 3 horses on November 4 at the MSU Pavilion. Your letters are needed TODAY.


Here's what people who witnessed the auction horses firsthand can do:

Contact Kristin Longley at 517-768-4917 or email klongley@citpat.com and express your feelings about the condition of the horses. I am under the impression that she is writing an article that will be in print before the end of next week, so time is of the essence.

If you are a resident of Jackson County, Michigan:

Write your county's board of commissioners. Demand accountability for the expenses claimed and actions taken by Jackson County Animal Control and accountability for the conditions of the horses six full months after seizure.
