Watching, waiting.

My personal involvement in the case has taken a backseat to more pressing issues, but here is an update with recent Voice of the People letters published in the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Look at officials' record in protecting animals

BROOKLYN -- I am so proud to live in Jackson County, with allegedly drug-using elected officials, elected officials abusing their offices and, best of all, the useless Humane Society and county animal shelter.

We have dealt with both the Humane Society and animal control on several occasions on severe abuse of horses. One occasion a pregnant mare that we used to own was so skinny and hungry that she ate a loaf of bread. One horse's feet were bad and it was skinny due to plain stupidity. We rescued a sheltie from the Humane Society that was a real joke. The only reason nothing was done about these problems was the headlines weren't big enough for them to bother with.

I do not know the real condition of those horses in Grass Lake, but I know some of the people involved with the so-called protection of these animals. One should look into the way they took care of other people's horses. Taking animals and selling them without a trial is the way that the law works.

I am so proud to live in Jackson, with these useless officials looking out for these poor horses.

Animal control destroys horse owners' lives

MUNITH -- Jackson County Animal Control is out of control. If Children's Protective Services was run this way, it would be seizing our children and selling them to recoup costs of care before we had been found guilty of any alleged crime. Why is it OK to do this to the horse owners?

It boggles my mind that Jackson Animal Control can destroy people's lives based on allegations. And as a livestock owner, it scares me.
