    Update on Ringo

    Oh Nila, Sometimes I have to wonder if he would have been better off without my interference. Yep, he would have suffered but he wouldn't STILL be suffering. I have only prolonged it. I have spoken to an attorney, I am in the process of preparing to fight the entire state to have the laws...

    Need Michigan attorney

    Tried that. Spoke to an attorney that was highly recommended but was told by the attorney that it would cost me $225 hour to research the law as she has no experience in this although she is an equine attorney. Easy to see why people don't want to get involved - it is a upward climb with...

    Need Michigan attorney

    Hi all, I'm looking for an attorney in Michigan who would be willing to argue MI penal codes, including 750.50 - 750.55 among others. Here's our chance to make a difference. I'm not looking for pro bono - just an attorney who is willing to fight for the laws that are ON THE BOOKS!!!! The ball...

    Update on Ringo

    PETA was called and Ringo even had a caseworker for a week. However, she told me that they basically had other cases that would catch attention and that this was no priority and wouldn't cause much of an outrage. This is why I say that the boy is slipping thru the cracks. State vet refuses...

    Update on Ringo

    I would appreciate any help, any ideas at all. He is located in Michigan, 40 miles West of Toledo, OH - 15 miles from OH/MI border. I'm between a rock and a hard place. The animal control officer (remember, she is a police officer, NO training except in euthanasia), the County and the Sheriff...

    Update on Ringo

    Well, my nieces want me to have Ringo but their mom (my sister) & grandpa (my dad) will not give him up. He's not doing all that well I hear, I've not been able to see him. It's been going on a year now. I hate to say it but it looks as if he will have to be on death's door for them to even...

    We are spread so thin!!!!

    Kay, Let me know what I can do here in Ohio. I'll be more than happy to help out at a mini booth during our Equine Affaire the end of March. Let me know!! Kristie (who is really computer illiterate so not much help there!)

    Update on Ringo

    Thanks Ginny. Just using the little boy like a carrot on a string. As long as he's alive for now that is all that matters. Still the goal to get him out. Thanks for the prayers. Will post an update. Hopefully this will all end soon so he can get the med. care & farrier care he so needs...

    Update on Ringo

    Wish me luck. Either myself or my boss is going to call my sister later today and offering my sister $1000 for Ringo. If the angels are watching over us on Sat. AM I hope to bring him home and have him live out his life as "Rocky" as he is such a fighter. My best friend died almost 2 weeks...

    Update on Ringo

    Per verbal conversation between State Vet & Ringo's caseworker they have closed the case. Ringo is to be seen by a vet 1x year - he's due for his next check-up Nov. 2004. Per vet that pulled the coggins (also a ASPA judge) he does not think Ringo's legs are deformed or that he has been...

    Update on Ringo

    Thanks Carolyn. Michigan Law is so specific (actually one of the best) on an animal having veterinary care. It is only a problem when law enforcement won't enforce the law. All I know is that in March this guy was down, unable to move and had 14" hooves. No vet was ever called and to this...

    Update on Ringo

    Ringo now has his own caseworker from PETA. She has contacted the state vet to make sure this little guy gets the vet work-up he needs. Please wish him luck getting thru another MI winter. Thanks so much, Kristie (who wishes she knew how to post a pic so you could see the little guy)

    Update on Ringo

    Just to let everyone know Ringo was never quarantined and the State Vet did not show up until 3 weeks after they promised. The owner was also NOTIFIED ahead of time before the visit. Ringo has yet to be seen by a vet -he only had a coggins pulled. I have yet to speak to anyone who knows the...
