Treatment of horses amounts to stealing

LEONI TOWNSHIP — It is about time the newspaper represented James Henderson and Matt Mercier in a fair manner. We stopped our subscription because all of the articles made them out to look like animal abusers based on what Animal Control said.
Animal Control did not provide a better living environment for those horses. It delayed treatment for the injured colt and didn't have a clue about grain when they took over.
Animal Control had no right selling or disposing of any of those animals before those men were proven guilty and they were given rights to the animals. These officials ought to be prosecuted and charged with theft and animal cruelty, considering the conditions of the horses they sent to auction and sold.
The horses they sold should be re-claimed because they are "stolen" and should have never been sold. County officials also should be responsible for restitution. This whole ordeal was wrong.

I hope all blog readers take just a few minutes and write a letter or two. The damage done to the reputations of Mercier and Henderson may never be undone, but you may help to change the minds of some.
