I expect a little bit more compassion from the TFP.
I'd be willing to bet this woman is a single mom, who probably having trouble feeding her kids, let alone two horses. When you're doing everything yourself, it's easy to let things slip out of control. It's unfortunate that these horses had to suffer, but it's even more unfortunate that we live in a society where people don't help each other out, we simply punish failure.
Averett says in an earlier post that "You can't afford to feed your animals? SELL THEM! GIVE THEM AWAY! Somebody else would love to have them."
Well no offense, but have you been to an animal shelter lately? It's not exactly the scenario that you describe.
