However, I did see her answer a question on one of the photos that asks her “why the helmet?” Her response was “always the helmet around horses.” She went on to elaborate on another photo about how it was for safety.[/QUOTE]

Yet Standardbred folks claim to have seen her at the shopping mall wearing the helmet.

Dear Sweden, please take your daughter back & get her the help she needs. For some reason, I think your care system would be better for her. I think your care system could actually be compassionate, & actually get her the help she needs. Unlike the American system which would probably just want to drug her up & throw her into a warehouse system.

Is it true that the some (all?) of the horses are in the care of Dr. Riddle in Maryland? How on earth did that happen?

[Cayusepapoose]

I have read that from several sources; have als read that he was her vet at one time as well but with everything in mind that is just what I’ve read.
There is pure oxygen therapy available there as well, correct?

I hate windows 8.1! sorry about double post.

[Anne_FS]

I’d love to hear what he has to say about this, although I’m sure his attorney is telling him not to say a word. And of course, vets are bound by doctor/client confidentiality and I take it the horses are still legally owned by Monica Thors or does the seizure negate ownership? How does that work?

You are blaming the husband & the son for her mental issues? :eek:

Why don’t YOU be the one to step up & help her?

Before you try pointing the finger to me…Because I do not give 2 pigs behinds about her! If legal, I want the woman deported back to Sweden; where they can foot the cost of her mental issues. So no, I would not be her best advocate.

But I can certainly be counted in for my $ for the care & rehab of her horses, once it is determined where that money can be safely sent to. Not to the NJSPCA![/QUOTE]

I hardly think that person is blaming the husband and son, just stated that they have nothing to do with her anymore. Just my take!

[Idrivetrotters]

I never blamed her husband and son for her mental illness, just that when they left her, she lost her support system for her mental illness.

I HAVE stepped up, I’m working with one of the rescues who is looking to take on 2 of the horses. I have been pushing for the last year and a half with the NJ SPCA to act on her obvious cruel treatments. So I think I’m doing my part here.

Yes, I have known Monica for a few years and she has always been a bit off, and I am assuming that once her support system was removed, she went off her medications and her mental illness deteriorated. I know Ron and Matt and neither of them deserve this embarrassment, I just can only hope that the best happens for everybody involved…

Anyone who wants their pound of flesh (or worse) and has no pity for this woman, don’t fool yourself: you are not a nice person.

I’ll say it again. The system can’t protect horses and cats and dogs from this sick woman forever. If you really care about the animals, you should be hoping she gets help. The NJ SPCA may have behaved in a cowardly way, but they’re right about one thing - animal cruelty statutes don’t give them a lot to work with.

They are?

Generally, animals are seized, then ownership is transferred upon forfeiture by the court. Seizure, alone, does not transfer ownership.

I’m not familiar with the NJ animal cruelty statutes, but the most likely next step in deciding ownership will be the forfeiture hearing (or the combined forfeiture and criminal court case).

Thank you, SummerRose.

Monica Thors Case Update : As this is an open and active investigation can not release alot here, but can tell you that of the seven (7) horses removed (seized) five (5) are resting comfortably and yes two (2) were humanely euthanized. The cats that remain on that property are being monitored by local animal control. Several animal cruelty charges were filed against Monica Thors and more charges are forthcoming as we move forward. NJSPCA appreciates all of the comments and information that has been sent our way. This has been a complex and time consuming investigation and we fully respect those who believe it took to long for NJSPCA to take action and seize the horses. I ask that you allow us to move this case forward and more charges obviously are coming. The comments on pages set up about this case are disturbing and seriously troubling. One page actually encourages attacks against the NJSPCA and the posts that wish NJSPCA to “Die a slow and agonizing death” and that Capt is related to Monica Thors and the crap goes on and on…Again this is why the animal welfare world will NEVER EVER win in our battle against animal cruelty. These humans and their pages are just relentless in their persuit to embarrass humans and nothing they do has anything to do with the animals !! I can only hope that the comments on this thread pertain to the animals…Lets see. Capt[/I]

I must say, I honestly don’t understand what you are saying here… :eek: Do you speak English? (I am assuming that English is your first language) or have I somehow lost my ability to comprehend my native language?

Quoting, without providing a link, does ask for a little more trust than many people are willing to give you right now.

The threats are not coming from people directly involved in helping the animals. They’re coming from people, mostly from far away, who are drawn like flies to situations like this because, lets face it, Monica doesn’t have a monopoly on mental illness. They’re just projecting their own sick anger, and laserbob is using it as red herring. Lets keep focused on what’s important.

[Laurierace]

While I agree that the comments can be ridiculous, I will never be convinced that it wasn’t the pressure of public perception that got the NJ SPCA to finally get off their ass and help those horses. If they have to wade through some BS to get to that point it was still worthwhile. You have to admit many of us have said and/or thought the same sort of things when we see photos of abuse or neglect. The first thought is often to do the same to the perpetrator to let them know how it feels. Social media provides a platform for anyone and everyone to share their thoughts as they fly through their brain and onto their keyboard likely to be replaced with thoughts of what’s for dinner or the like. Stick around long enough and it will eventually be Obama’s fault…
