80 Horses Seized, Immediate Assistance Needed

And, just to help me out - I really am clueless today - where to send the dribble?

Thank you Moderator 1.

I would respectfully ask that this topic stay on course- as the original message is specifically about the need for supplies/pledges of donations for the care of seized horses and not to be painful speculation about the location/owner, etc. That serves no purpose on this discussion. This is about the horses and only the horses.

Thank you.

A few questions, they only have to do with whether one might choose to support this. They aren’t about anything that would hinder prosecution of any case.

Where and who is keeping the horses (general, not specific)? It was mentioned they are already in some foster care.

If the SPCA is controlling this seizure, why can’t we have their name, to send donations to them directly?

I found my answer, no need to further it. damn shame.

7HL-

AC4H is waiting word TODAY from the SPCA that did the seizure. Again, specific details about the seizure were not released to anyone, only the need for assistance by way of *pledged donations/in kind goods for the horses. I hope that you can understand that the SPCA is very busy at this time and as soon as more information is provided it will be updated here to include:

Exactly where to send direct donations for this seizure.

Thank you.

Definition of Pledge from the Nonprofits Assistance Fund:
*Pledge: A formal commitment to make a contribution of a specific amount.

the need for assistance by way of *pledged donations/in kind goods for the horses…SPCA is very busy at this time and as soon as more information is provided it will be updated here to include:

Exactly where to send direct donations for this seizure.

So if I want to send my donation to the SPCA, which one is it? You would not be compromising anything by giving us their name. I am sure that they wouldn’t refuse donations.

Technically wouldn;'t it the the SPCA that covers that area? Not a tough thing to find via 3 minutes of googling.

Possibly, but would that be the SPCA near Another Chance 4 Horses Rescue, Pa? If so, they haven’t made requests, I happen to be on their mailing list and have been to their site, no mention of a horse seizure. Or is it the SPCA where the seizure took place? It doesn’t compromise anything to give out the name of the SPCA. My personal opinion that is the problem with donations, charities etc., to many people want to handle the cash.

This whole thread started with immediate assistance needed. Then said wait, I don’t have all the info and I’ll get it to you sometime.

OK I have kept fairly quiet while viewing this thread BUT… 7HL is really starting to tick me off! Why don’t you just shut up, if its that big of a deal then no one want’s your money… you are just plain irritating…

I question why this person just won’t let up! Maybe they are trying to find out information for someone? Why do you need to know where the horses are? When the SPCA rescues fighting dogs they don’t tell anyone where they are located! for fear of them being stolen… Just my opinion, I wouldn’t let anyone know the exact location of these horses till this goes to court!

This whole thread started with immediate assistance needed. Then said wait, I don’t have all the info and I’ll get it to you sometime.

Well, what does that mean to you??? To me it means that we have to wait to send a donation until we get more information!!! Why are being so obtuse about this??? :confused:

I question why this person just won’t let up!

Yes, he’s like a dog with a bone and by giving him air time I’m afraid we are just encouraging him… :wink: :lol: He’s making this about him rather than the horses… I guess we’ll have to close every single thread about this seizure because of it… :frowning:

I don’t care where the horses are located. Not trying to track any of them down.

As far as no one wanting my money, I doubt that. If the SPCA is really in need of help they will except all donations. Just what SPCA is it?

Ahhhh . . . The joys of the ā€œIgnoreā€ feature.

If you’ve located both SPCAs…the one near the seizure location and the one near the rescue…in 1/10 the time it’s taken to repost the same question ad nauseum on these threads you could have called both and simply asked, ā€œIs this the SPCA that just seized 80 TBs and needs more donations?ā€ The SPCA will answer you.
There isn’t a consipiracy happening on these threads…the SPCA involved just took in a huge amount of very emaciated horses…not somewhat skinny ones, emaciated ones. Forgive them a bit for not updating their website and sending out mass mailings to their lists in a manner you find timely.
Log off the computer, pick up the phone and make a phone call to get your answer. The SPCA involved will make a release to the media and then it can be printed on here as soon as that happens. The mods have mentioned often enough that details and names can NOT be posted without backup…as of right now due to the busy nature of this seizure the SPCA involved has not been able to get the news to the media and the media mistakenly forgot to print the location of that SOCA in the priginal story. So for right now it can’t be printed on COTH without back up. No conspiracy, COTH rules. :confused:

Where to donate-

7HL- Would like to thank you for your persistance as phone calls were made to the SPCA involved and they have now granted permission to post their website information which includes ways to donate [there are two Finger Lakes SPCA’s and this is the correct one]

The SPCA that did this seizure is the Finger Lakes SPCA. Here is their website:

http://www.fingerlakesspca.org/

Direct link to donate to the Finger Lakes SPCA (secure site for donating)

You may want to notate your donation ā€˜horse seizure’.

Thanks to all for your patience.

Well, they might ā€œexceptā€ yours…most people, they just ā€œacceptā€ā€¦ :lol:

At least he has brought a small bit of levity to a devastating situation. :cry:

Was just going to post that 35 seconds and one phone call and I was easily able to verify the correct SPCA…Marli has now printed it too in the same 35 second time span.
It wasn’t that hard to do 7HL…I’m already paypalling a donation over…hope you’re doing the same. Hope yours matches mine after all this hoopla conspiracy theory when everyone was just following COTH rules and the info was so very easily found without 20 posts on it…and a lot less time. :smiley:

Thank You!

I was on the phone with them while you were posting. They did say they were getting numerous calls. They did request that donations be made though them as well.

Thanks again!!

OMG. This person bought a mare I was super interested in from the North Hampton Fair several years ago. I wonder where Girl Gone Wild wound up…

Please avoid further discussion of the specifics of this case and the individuals involved until more information is made publicly available from an official source.

Both organizations involved in this seizure are 501©3, which, with our approval, satisfies the requirements for a donation request.

Thanks,

Will Do Mod 1, I understand it can tamper the investigation.

Just an FYI - as someone who is involved with a lot of neglect cases/seizures, I know we don’t give out much info on pending court cases. I have seen it compromise cases in the past, and I don’t want to be the one to damage a case. We do, though, give out our name, number of horses, and a general statement on what’s being done for them if asked. Unfortunately there’s a fine line to walk.

While I can’t donate at this time, I do wish the SPCA the best of luck. I cannot imagine being involved in a seizure with 80 horses. We did one with somewhere around 30 horses once, and it was very time-consuming and expensive.
