We had a horrible abuse situation in Dutchess County, NY a few years ago. We got the media involved. All it took was one article in the newspaper and the problem was solved so quickly our heads spun. Suddenly our local ASPCA was right in there doing their job. Be very, very careful of PETA as they have some pretty crazy ideas of what constitutes *abuse*. You might find them turning on you because you braid your horses mane. If you think I am kidding, think again. What matters to PETA is getting on the news.
