Humane Society: Dead Cows Were Malnourished
Two Animals Brought To OSU's Veterinary Clinic
UPDATED: 11:42 am EST March 22, 2005
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Several dead cows that were discovered on a west Columbus farm appeared to be malnourished, officials from the Capital Area Humane Society said on Monday.
The cows, which NBC 4 first reported about Friday night, were found at the farm, located along Hilliard-Rome Road.
SLIDESHOW: Images From Farm (Some might find images disturbing)
The Humane Society discovered 14 dead cows on the farm on Friday.
Two additional cows were taken to Ohio State's veterinary clinic for treatment on Monday, NBC 4 reported.
The Humane Society is investigating and no charges have been filed.
Watch NBC 4 and refresh nbc4i.com for additional information.
They died.. er, were "released" happy. Good to hear.
This type of barbarism must be stopped at all costs!
"Jeb and Judge Greer must call out the National Guard!"
What would Jeb's calling out the Florida National Guard have to do with cows in Ohio?
I'm sorry about the cows and all that, but this case points up a growing phenomenon the livestock industry had better be aware of. That's the increasing willingness of the Humane Society, animal shelters and such organizations to intervene in farm cases. I'm talking about the nuts at The Humane Society of the United STates (or whatever their official name is), or PETA.
If they aren't careful, they're going to have the Humane Society regulating their operations. What, you haven't fed that cow extra grain today? That's a fine. That horse has 12 flies on it, that's abuse. We're going to have to confiscate all your animals. In fact, when we count up the fines, we're also going to be getting your whole farm.
I suppose I'm being paranoid, but I find this trend troubling.
Dadburnit..it's NOT about the nuts cases at PETA, etc..
C'mon...You get my point.
