SUCH A SHAME TO SEE THAT SOME IN CA HAVE RESORTED TO THIS Unusually dry weather in central California is beginning to take a toll on ranchers and horse farmers, according to a CNN report on Thursday. Horse owner Harold Kelly admitted to borrowing money to feed his animals hay during a part of the year when they could normally rely on pasture. Others have reached the end of their resources, and as a result rescues in the state are at capacity with a waiting list. Those looking to sell horses are reporting per-pound offers for their horses.Kelly estimates he spends $500 to $1,000 to feed his horses and is in the process of trying to find homes for his herd of 50–he is not selling to meat agents. outfront.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/22/california-drought-forces-ranchers-to-say-good-bye-to-horses/?sr=tw012314ranchers430p |

Our stupid ASSED Governemnt is giving Millions/Billions for Foreign Aid, but yet hard working Americans can't get some Governmemt assistance to help them out.
That's the disgrace in ALL of this....
Republicans & Democrats are watching people like Harold Kelly borrow money to do the right thing, yet they will do nothing for him.......
A Goddammed shame.......

Pres GIVE THEM MONEY TO BUY WHAT ? THE REASON WHY THEY ARE IN THIS SITUATION IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO WATER. EVEN IF THE GOVERNMENT GAVE THEM MONEY THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY VERY HIGH PRICES FOR HAY AND FEED BECAUSE ITS COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF CA DUE TO THE LACK OF RAIN. |

Whatever the Feed costs the Government can afford it, stop giving money to Countries that do nothing in return for the US. Give to your own first, others second.....

AS I SAID GOVERNMENT CAN DO MANY THINGS BUT IT CANT DO IT ALL. |

The government has been giving billions to huge "farming" corporations for decades to get them to NOT grow food, grain, etc.

I wonder if this "baiting" post would have even been posted by this member if others had not been talking recently about weather being a factor in deciding where the BC or super bowl should be played? I believe this is also the same person who said ca. was in trouble because of a virus "epidemic" which turned out to be only 2 horses who have already been treated and are recovering in quarantine.

Wiz - NO- It's not "bait". It's a legit topic going through many forums and publications. Evelyn posted on the Bar & Grill board. It's not really a horseracing related story so has nothing to do with racing weather, BC and so forth. It's a fact affecting ranchers and their horses. The Government can't fix everything! Many would say give food to people before horses.

I agree with the last line. in fact I even say if it gets bad enough give horses to people as food. judging people for eating horsemeat is an entirely different issue here though. the point is the government isn't doing enough to help either one in this country, but doesn't seem to have a problem sending aid halfway around the world to help countries that would just as soon blow us to bits as they would help us in the same spots. or even worse, allowing immigrants, legal or illegal, to keep migrating to this country to be more of a burden on us then we already have.

THIS IS NOT BAIT AT ALL, I HAVE GENUINE CONCERN, PEOPLE WHO ARE OPENLY SELLING HORSES FOR SLAUGHTER SHOULD BE AN ISSUE OF CONCERN TO ALL.

The government indeed does have a say do in the weather. It "controlled" hurricane Katrina to attempt the drowning of black people in new orleans per Al and Jesse. Didnt yall know this already?

I DON'T AGREE WITH ALL THAT HE SAID BUT HE IS NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH, I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF BEING PREPARED, IT WASN'T LIKE HURRICANE KATRINA WAS UNPRECEDENTED. THERE WAS A STORM NAMED BETTSY THAT CAME THROUGH AND RIPPED UP THAT SAME AREA OF LOUISIANA 40 YEARS EARLIER. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT'S THE JOB OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO MAKE SURE THE SEA WALLS DIDN'T BREAK. THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS BUT IT CAN'T DO ALL THINGS. |

Betsy was a strong 2 that hit new orleans and flooded out the same area during katrina. The levees can only do so much when 80% of the city is below sea level hence a bowl with water surrounding it. Not much anyone, including the corps of engineers can control how much rainfall falls on top of it, not around it. The corps did propose back in the late 90's a project to improve the levees in real low line areas that surround the city. As usual, the crooked politics in the city had to get thier dirt hands in the cookie jar and somehow the money got "mishandled". The idea was proposed way before katrina in 2005. Its just new orleans is the one of the most half ass run cities in america.

WHATEVER THE CASE, I WISH THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO REPOPULATE THAT CITY ALL THE BEST, AS AN OUTSIDER I SEE BETSY AS STRIKE ONE, KATRINA AS STRIKE TWO, THEY SHOULDN'T BE AROUND FOR STRIKE THREE |
