Punishment for the willfully negligent owners of this colt?

Question

The 9-month-old colt rescued from the brutal northern Minnesota cold is improving.

The colt -- named Windchill -- was able to stand unsupported for a few hours over the weekend.

Windchill was near death when it was found near Duluth on Feb. 9 -- on a day when wind chills made it feel like 30 degrees below zero.

The first veterinarian to examine the colt recommended euthanasia. After being examined by a second vet an all out effort is being launched to save this baby, who is 350 pounds under weight

When the colt was brought to Raindance Farms, it was suffering from dehydration, malnourishment, and hypothermia. It was unable to stand on its frost-bitten legs.

Over the weekend, Windchill was lifted to its feet with the help of a sling. On Sunday, it stood without supports for a few hours.

Your thoughts?

Thanks

Answer 1

Personally, shoot em.  However, I know that is not "the proper thing to do".  They should be fined, jailed and never be allowed to own an animal again.  If they have kids, they should be looked into by Social Serivces as child abuse and animal abuse go hand in hand at times.

Answer 2

any person who inflicts any form injure to a child or animal is the worsted kind of coward ever, the punishment should be jail never mind fines and community work get them locked up, we need tougher laws and sentences

Answer 3

Cheers for Raindance Farms.....

You didn't say what , if anything, is being considered for the owners......

Some people should not be allowed to own  animals.....

Answer 4

omg  cried when i read this  good for Raindance Farms.   The former owners  should be horse whipped  stripped naked and thrown deep into the woods to freeze and strave   wtf  how could any human being be so cruel    Praying for Windchill  and bless Raindance Farms for rescuing him

Answer 5

These inhuman people should be thrown out in the cold. There is no punishment harsh enough for people like this. They should never own an animal of any kind. Hurray for the second vet who helped save this colt. A big thanks for all the people at Raindance Farms for all the help they are giving this colt.  Praying that the colt recovers.

Answer 6

My thoughts are that we need to put liberals into internment camps or admit them to mental institutions. Then bring about punishment that is so severe, that crimes and abuse of all sorts will surely all but disappear.

With liberals aiding and abetting criminals and harmful people, these people will continue to flourish.
