Stori's video

In the post below is a video made by one of the volunteers about the plight of Stori and her Mother. There are approximately 32 horses on this property eleven of which were judged to be in immenent danger from neglect and starvation by a licensed Vet., including Stori and her Mother. Stori's Mother had to put down only two days after surrender because she was down and couldn't get back up even with assistance.
Law enforcement officials in this county have done little to nothing to help in our efforts to help these horses. It has been one delay after another... another opinion...another test result...another couple of days. 
A full necropsy was done on Stori's Mother at a College of Veterinary Medicine by a PHD DVM and the results are summarized as: depleted fat stores and serious atrophy of fat that is a result of  long-term inadequate nutrition...the stomach was small and tightly contracted...gastric ulcers...poor dental care and poor hoof care. What will it take for Sheriff Dan to enforce the law...maybe he will be more agreeable after the election??
Neighbors have pictures of buzzards feeding on the carcasses of dead foals in the fields. Therefore, I am calling this county Buzzard County, Virginia.

VOTE AGAINST SHERIFF DAN of BUZZARD COUNTY!!!!!
