Two Dozen Rescues Looking for Homes in Florida

Story This is the new case I'm watching. Two dozen horses rescued from a man in Florida are looking for homes. These include 21 Thoroughbreds and 2 Quarter Horses ranging in age from 7 months to 19 years.

Animal Services seized the horses from owner Lope Gonzalez, who was accused of failing to care for them properly, according to a press release.

When Animal Services removed the horses from a Morriston farm, approximately half were 400 pounds to 500 pounds underweight.

A judge allowed Gonzalez to keep 10 of the 33 horses on the property, according to the release.

The rest went to Animal Services. A criminal case against Gonzalez is pending.

I'd say they weren't taken care of properly! But WHY did they let him keep ten of the horses? They should've gotten them ALL out of there! I'd like to know if he cropped the tail on the horse who's picture is on the news story. Poor baby!
