THESE HORSES ARE LOCATED IN HARDIN COUNTY AND THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BUT SEE NO SIGNS OF NEGLECT. STARVATION IS A SIGN OF NEGLECT BUT HARDIN COUNTY OFFICIALS DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS COUNTY NEEDS SOME SORT OF ANIMAL HELP. THE POLICE DID RESPOND TO THE DOWN HORSE BUT FILED NO CHARGES WHILE THE HORSE REMAINED DYING WITH ITS HEAD IN THE MUD IN 99 DEGREE WEATHER FOR TWO DAYS. I SEE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE IT IS NOTHING BUT ANIMAL CRUELTY AND IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ASAP. THESE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS (AS POLICE SEE IT) HAVE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OTHER ANIMALS THAT WILL PROBABLY MEET THE SAME FATE.. JUSTICE AGAIN NOT SERVED !

Well, if I lived there I would just go and take those horses to a safe place and give them what they need..When laws are neglectful and do not serve any purpose but to allow further neglect, then, those laws are inadequate to say the least and that i

These same people had several horses and over 80 dogs seized 4 years ago, and police didn't file any charges then also, they were seen a few months ago dragging a dead horse down the road , again no charges. They must know all the right officials.

John, I get where you are coming from but we had horse slaughter 4 years ago and the same thing was going on at this house. The problem here is irresponsible owners who don't need them but keep getting them. They are nothing more than animal hoarders

I am interested in rescuing these horses. Can someone please give me the exact location of the animals? Also, I will contact the ASPCA and they will see that the horses are removed from the home. Thank you.

The address is about 3912 Marshall drive , Morris Chapel TN. The mail box has been removed so that is sort of a guess, Police had them move the remaining horses because of all the complaints they were receiving, so God only knows where they took them

There is a couple of organizations trying to work with the police and remove the horses , but they aren't having much luck at this point. and they will just get more unless the police press charges this time. I am just tired of watching the suffering

True you don't need to neglect animals .And if you can't take care of them then give them away to a good home. I know these people and im from around the area. But you need to get all the true facts ! They never had 80 dogs to be seized .

I agree that animals need to be taken care of properly but if you don't have all the facts you shouldn't assume you know the whole story. The horse had hay and water, for all we know, it could have been a snake bite that made it sick, not neglect.
