Oh for sure she’s nuts. As in, the dead one is still in the same place on her property. Steps from her front door.

The lady who had Asombro?
The body is still just sitting there?
It was when they got him. No idea now.
That poor baby…he was lovely…

There has to be severe mental illness involved…my thought is that something horrible must have happened to this person to turn her into such a monster. I can’t accept that any human could be so inhumane otherwise.
Some people seem to be born with parts missing. Psychopaths, sociopaths, borderline personality, even schizophrenia, they aren’t really clearly linked to trauma and environment. In retrospect stuff was starting in childhood.

Sadly, there are 2 cases similar just in B.C. right now.
1 is on the Island, where a young woman (allegedly)* let a ‘rescued’ mare starve to death, then dumped her carcass on a trail and lit it on fire 
(or the other way around- the case is still in the “investigation” stage).
The 2nd is another woman who has prior convictions for torturing and killing animals. Search “B.C. pet killer placed under new court-ordered conditions” for the full story and her name.
It’s really sad and disturbing.
- allegedly because, even though the horse was burned she was still recognizable and recognized as being owned by this woman, and several other horses, dogs and goats were removed from her possession, but the woman will not admit to doing anything wrong or hurtful.
Absolutely this is true - but also most people with those kinds of diagnoses are not abusers. Most animal and child abusers have been abused or neglected themselves, and are part of a cycle of abuse. Whatever the case, this person clearly needs help, and to never own an animal again. I truly hope she doesn’t have children…

This may be true for people who are not seriously mentally ill but have sadistic tendencies or anger issues. But I think psychiatrists no longer post a causal link between childhood trauma and serious mental illness that creates delusions or hallucinations. And when people are under the influence of serious delusional thinking, they can act out in violent ways. Delusions always seem to be fear and anger, paranoia, or grandiosity, never happy or nice delusions 
and people can act violently because they think they are under threat.
I don’t know this woman, but I live in a city that desinstitutionalized decades ago and now has a massive problem with mentally ill homeless people who are also often drug users. It’s really intractable when people don’t want to be helped, because their mental illness makes them fear everyone.

I’ve always thought people who are this elaborate with their abuse and neglect are trying to position themselves to garner sympathy or respect for caretaking a difficult case. The reward is proportionate to the extreme need of the animal, so keep g the animal in pain or neglect is part of the process. Very much like munchausen by proxy for people. The complexity baffles.

horses have a remarkable memory, we had a POA for our son for five years that we sold as son’s interests went another direction. The pony was a beautiful red roan, he went to be a display item for an equine housing development, his pasture mate was a blue roan POA, they sat in a pasture at the entrance of this development, we lost track of him after that.
Ten years later daughter had her horse at a nearby jumper barn to do some work over their jump courses, while tacking up her horse nickers at an approaching pony some distance away, that pony nickered back … it was the POA we had, The two knew each other instantly from well over 70 feet
They were happy to see one another once again.

When we moved horses to a neighboring state it had been at least 5+yrs since I’d showed my TB in regional Hunters.
Trainer had an Equine Massage therapist visit the barn & when she walked in, my normally rarely vocal horse nickered loudly to her.
Turned out she’d been Ingate for many shows we’d done.
Apparently that was a Happy Memory for him.
Go figure…

Where is that posted? I just checked the County Sheriffs posts and didn’t see anything, though my eyes aren’t the best this afternoon so I might have missed something.
Wonderful! I didn’t check there. I hope they nail her hard.
