Some of you may not have heard of the 84 horses rescued from Cannon County (Woodbury area).
Right now, they are needing everything from help mucking stalls to dollar contributions. I know many of us live too far away to show up and muck a stall, but every $1 adds up.
I'd like to know if anybody has suggestions, or the "know-how", on the avenues to take that will eliminate this type of treatment from so-called humans.
What is to prevent them, or people like them, to just start doing this over again? My heart is heavy with this type of cruelty.

The US Humane Society has seized 84 horses from a Cannon County farm in TN and has taken them to TN State Fair Grounds in Nashville for immediate care.
They need supplies and volunteers to help care for these horses. The main need at this point is feed and hay (no round bales until the horses are moved away from fairground).
People interested in donating supplies or volunteering can contact the manager of the Tennessee State Fairgrounds at 615-862-8980 or email HSUS at tnhorserescue@hsus.org
From Humane Society:
In the coming weeks these horses will be moving further along the road to recovery at our emergency shelter. When our vets have decided they are stable enough for transport, we will start moving them out to rescue groups from whom the horses can then be adopted. As of now, we will not be doing direct adoptions from the emergency shelter. The rescues who take in these amazing animals will be publicized in the local media and on the HSUS Web site www.humanesociety.org and those groups will be handling adoptions.
Please ask anyone who is interested in fostering or adopting to e-mail at this address and their information will be forwarded to the HSUS employees in charge of placement and they will contact those interested directly with more information.

Subject Line: Adoption or Foster
