Ok its weird that she trims her cats whiskers and feet BUT It is the entire picture that emerges when you see the treatment of all of the animals. It seems a she was quite an accomplished photographer in the STB industry. Some of the older videos show sound horses but it appears that the short trimming was starting. And doing stupid stuff like hopping around like rabbits to sell a documentary is silly but as I said before when put in the context of the damage to the horses feet it just gets weirder and weirder.

Hopefully the SPCA is just crossing their T’s and dotting there I’s.

I once had a munchausen by proxie case with cats. We never could get anywhere with it as she was wealthy and the one witness we had was a handyman who needed the money from the job. The detective said no one would ever believe that a elderly lady was bopping her cats over the head. Even though he found the I kid you not…Statue of ST FRANCIS she was hitting her cats with.

Oh my god.

(Caution for the squeamish–video of horse that cannot weight it’s front end at ALL asked to walk outside.)

There’s much on line about Monica. Harnesslink.com had a report on her 11/26.
I went to bed thinking about this last night and was still seeing this horror behind my eyelids this morning.

[Ambitious_Kate]

Oh - I am jaw dropped here at work. OMG OMG. This is recent? Looks like taken today or something? OMG.

[Simkie]

If you’re talking about the video AK, it looks to have been taken in April of this year. According to FB, that horse has died.

[Ambitious_Kate]

I Gues the date on the vid said 4.20.2014 I can’t unsee that. I’ve never witnessed anything like that. And to add to that horrific knowlege that the horse is like that because she dremmelled the hoof away is un real. Is she foundering them on purpose so she “has” to work on their feet? I can’t fathom this. Its like a finding a serial killer who has taken body parts off of people but they are still alive. I can’t process this.

[luvmytbs]

Someone in an earlier post mentioned that she may have a 501©3 status?

If that is the case, what is the name?

There should be a 990 available for review.

I mentioned that in one of the photos posted back on page 1, she asks in a comment for $20.00 to help pay for the horse’s care. Don’t know if she claims to be a 501©3. Maybe someone else did?

Either way - ugh.

[Laurierace]

I think those are soft rides or some other kind of boots that she then bandages the hell out of to keep them on. They are probably trying to chew their own hooves off otherwise.

I don’t think that is fly mask on the horse! And that is the least of my issues with that picture. :mad:

For those that previously said the could not get CBS link to work, this one worked fine for me: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/11/24/i-team-investigates-allegations-of-horse-abuse/

I just tried calling The Hambletonian Society. No one answered. No voice mail. Holiday? Phone: 609-371-2211 Fax: 609-371-8890

But they have Email links on this page! http://www.hambletonian.org/contact.html

Some of them are definitely more than just bandaging to hold a hoof boot in place (and there are mentions of splinted legs for Hoyle, at the very least, and it looks like Prince has them, too):

That’s the Accordingtoprince horse, apparently, being ridden some time after this:

It’s so sad looking at how far back the forced walking goes for some of these horses. :no:

You have to help me understand this. I know mental illness, but this is criminal.
Look at all the people who donate money, and the people who work for her,
WHY no one turns her in. Are her employees mostly illegals? Even a non horse person could see this is a horrible case of extreme abuse and cruelty.
This woman is so twisted and sick it makes me think dark thoughts about what I would do with her if I came face to face with her.
This thread is all I have thought about since I opened it a day ago.
Does this extreme serial animal abuser give a reason why she is tormenting and maiming these animals?
I mean, WHAT is it going to take to stop her???
This makes all other abuse cases seem mild. THis is made even more heinous by the fact that they are kept in a prisitine environment with all those other people blindly looking on. I may lose my lunch.

[Jealoushe]

I wondered about her employees too. What the actual Fruitbat.

That horse walking…oh my god. The most pain of life that poor poor creature.

It makes me sick. These stunning expensive horses, fat and shiny, in this ridiculously nice facility, yet still being abused.

There are sick people in this world.

Her facility is beautiful. Life is so unfair.

[QUOTE=ThisTooShallPass;7880252]
If someone will list the media outlets & various authorities to contact, I am willing to, as I am sure numerous of other here too are, start making calls tomorrow encouraging them to look into this matter & actually do something pronto for the sake of the horses![/QUOTE]

Are you on Facebook? The information you are looking for is in the Facebook page - STOP Monica THORS. I don’t personally know the woman who started the page, but I know she is active in rescue and has a reputation for getting things done.

If you don’t have access to Facebook, I would be happy to cut and paste it here for you

The NJSPCA seems to be implying that it is not their responsibility to do anything for these horses? If you read the comments they make on their Facebook page they are placing blame with everyone but themselves. They state repeatedly that it is not their job to find placement for the animals, that it is the responsibility of volunteers to arrange for care and placement, and that the Dept. Of Agriculture is too blame. In the news report the DOA turned the case over to the NJSPCA over a year ago.

Seems to be a lot of finger pointing going on and no one is helping the animals…

My god, What will it take then?
Vets? Farriers? she probably has none anymore. But anyone who could turn a blind eye to this is as guilty as she is.
All I can say is it is a damn good thing I do not live in New Jersey.
This has been going on for over a year? Seriously people WHAT can we do.
I am consumed by the thought of these horses torture!

From what I can tell, her actions do constitute cruelty.
They should be all over this.
