Can’t you put in a fake email? I’ve done that before.
Too much work 
Any email from an addy I don’t recognize goes directly to SPAM & once there, any following goes there too.
If he manages to suss my actual ph#, I never answer calls from unkown #s - Caller ID is my friend.
If he dared to leave a message I then have evidence (assuming his ego would make the msg nasty).
I’m hoping The Form gets a shit-ton of bogus submissions.
If nothing else, you get to let Asshat know how real horsepeople think about his treatment of the horses.
Bonus Points for wasting his time reviewing the fakes 
Even if Googledocs doesn’t decide in my favor ,& take it down as Abusive.

No one that cares anything about having animals should ever contact either of these two organizations.

I hear you, and it pained me to write those to organizations down, but let’s use them to our advantage if the horses could be removed from knucklehead.

Still no.
Just NO.
They will make this into the poster child example of why no one should own a horse or ride a horse ever.

You can make a good documentary about any topic if you are a good film maker with passion and access to the subject. But whether anyone will fund you or distribute you is another question.
Certainly failed or delusional people are a topic. But it helps if they have caused their own deaths or are open and oblivious about themselves. Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man and John Maylses Grey Gardens come to mind.
It’s going to be hard to do a documentary on a manipulative cagey fairly media savvy dude who wants to control the narrative.
I think the story might be better served by one of those slightly detached but superbly researched long form essays that the New Yorker specializes in, but which are now getting rare. Joan Didion could have eviscerated him circa 1970 when she was focusing on American dreamers and disasters in the West. But I feel too like the topic of American dreamers/ conmen / disasters has been pretty thoroughly milked out since then. It was an engaging topic in the 1960s when a highly structured society was starting to loosen up and the hippy movement made big claims about freedom. But over the past 50 years there has been such a tsunami of dreamers, drifters, con men, internally displaced persons, disasters, conspiracy theorists, that the novelty value of a person like Cereal is about zero.
Though it occurs to me my examples here are all masters at their crafts, who could make almost anything engaging.
I agree there is zero story here for the average competent but pressed for time documentary team working for a TV outlet or netflicks.

Local SPCA yes, if it’s a good one. ASPCA, HSUS, and PETA absolutely not.

There is no story here that anyone would want to watch. If this was his “destiny” it’s pretty pathetic. There is no redemption in what he’s done – he’s abused his animals, scrounged freebees from strangers and managed to insert the word “f#$Cing” into every sentence. What a role model!

The only story is Yet Another Delusional American, and those stories are thick on the ground now.

Any story to be found IMO is more in the people trying to stop him, the ones that helped him, the reasons he was able to do this to these horses, and whatever happens to these horses next. Not the knucklehead but the ripple effects that went on around him. Just like the Don’t F With Cats mentioned above somewhere, to me.

You always seem to have only negative comments about America or Americans and capitalizing “Another Delusional American”. I get it you’re Canadian and Canada and Canadians are perfect and all but geez if you hate us all so much why are you posting on a board with mostly Americans

The funny part about this “Another Delusional American”, is that Cereal IS Canadian!!

Yes. I know. Didion would say something like “the wind washed slopes of the old west are where deluded dreamers become Americans in the pursuit of quixotic quests. The story of a young Quebecois tech logistics operator and his gaunt horses is an object lesson in the strange ways the open spaces of the West create a particularly American disorientation.”
Oh, my stuff on delusional Americans is all from the great American authors themselves. No one is harsher on Americans than Americans themselves. Didion, Hunter S Thompson in my youth. Older authors like Steinbeck, Melville, Hawthorne, Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor, all of whom I teach. Americans criticizing Americans is a whole industry and a huge chunk of American literature and they do it with more insight than I have!!!
I teach American studies, in Canada. I recognize the USA has several contending forces or directions, and these days, sorry, but the craycray has really risen to the surface, not just an undercurrent as in the past (see The Paranoid Tendency in American Politics, Hofstadter, 1964).
So yeah, I’m fascinated with American wierd as well as the many good things about the USA. Right now wierd may be winning. Or the good elements of tolerance curiousity, optimism, forward looking, creative, may prevail again.

I only see a less charming Tiger King in his future. He isn’t even interesting enough to garner the car accident attention TK did. What would they call it anyway? Moron Monarch? Nag Napoleon?

I’ve only seen snippets of the Tiger King saga and heard bits and pieces of that train wreck. I do believe you have nailed it with a “Less Charming Tiger King”. 
I’m happy for the two horses that this odyssey is winding down.

You know how, when you watch a TV show that has participants from different areas, and the participants from “your” area are always the worst representation of whatever stereotype is applicable to your area? It’s like that.
It’s a bummer (the least of all the bummers in this situation, but still), because the basic concept of a docuseries about a long, spiritual soul-searching journey like this could have been quite amazing, if the journey itself was actually done right and the main character genuine. With appropriate preparation, research, safety precautions, knowledgeable advisors and mentors, and support along the way.
