Case Updates

Summer Bird beat Quality Road in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. *headdesk*

Anyway, on to more important things.

Gordon Dennis Key -- remember the 77 Egyptian arabians? They're being auctioned off to approved homes this week. Story [Warning: There are before/after pictures. I just sat here and stared at the before one for several minutes it was so horrible. I didn't even know it was possible for a horse that skinny to be living.] Investigations into the treatment of the animals continues, with no mention of a court date for Key. Shows that even rare and valuable horses aren't safe from neglect. A few of the bids are already up into the thousands.

Ernie Paragallo - According to my notes his court date was October 2nd.

James Henderson and Michael Mercier - Court date's been set for my backyard abuse case. It's in February. *headdesk*

Jackson County Animal Control in March 2007 seized 69 horses on Henderson's farm, calling the conditions unsafe and unsanitary. Most of the horses, and others foaled after the seizure, were auctioned for about $50,000.
Auctioned how exactly? Wish I wasn't broke and could've been there... I'd have taken a horse or two.
