No animal shelters. What to do? My brother-in-law came across 7 abandoned horses in a remote area of the woods and he said they were clearly starving. He said you could see their ribs and they looked pretty weak. Obviously someone has dropped them off because they didn't have the money to keep them and assumed that they would be able to survive on their own! Anyways, there is no animal shelter in my county. I have contacted the only 2 horse rescue groups in the local area but have not heard anything back. My brother-in-law would actually love to take them but does not have the money to build a fence nor to buy food, etc. What can be done for these poor horses? I know by the time they got a grant (even if they were approved) it would take so long the horses would be dead. My only other thought was to put a heartbreaking article in the newspaper and maybe someone who could afford them would offer to rescue them. Any ideas what we can do to save these animals? * 1 day ago * - 2 days left to answer. Additional Details 1 day ago Ok, this story is true. I'm a 25 year old adult. Not some 10 year old with too much time on their hands. And my brother-in-law was in the woods riding a four wheeler. It is WAY back in the wilderness, no where near where any people live. Also, he is a deputy at the local sheriff's office and the sheriff refuses to do anything. 1 day ago I live in a very small community in Scott County Tennessee.
