Someone killed our precious precious DJ

I have just read all 25 pages of this post and I am dissgusted witth what has happen to your lovely dj and all the other horses and I hope that they get what is comin to them

My heart gose out to you all

Waaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We teach our horses to trust and respect us and some scumbag does this its appaling my heart goes out to you all, I had a horse that was slashed with a stanley knife all accross his chest .he went out of his mind for 3 weeks had I not bred him I would have thought he had a bad temprement take care many hugs to you all.

I hate to hear about what happened to your guy. I don't know why people do things like this - it just makes me sick.

We've taken in some rescues - looks like a couple of them may really be nice horses. We shall see - it's just that they have trust issues that will need working through.

I don't know which is better to have around anymore. A horse that is loving and gentle that will walk right up to you, or one that is standoffish and hard to catch. If DJ had been as hard to catch as Junior (they were both in the pasture together), he'd probably still be alive right now...

What are people thinking when they do something like that?! People that abuse animals don't deserve to live. I hope the person is caught and severly punished. How could someone do something so horrible to such a helpless and beautiful animal. Im so sorry for your loss.

I just spent an hour and a half reading though all of this, and I want to say that I am so sorry for your loss and all that you and your family and your daughter's friend's family have gone through. I can't imagine what I would do if something like this were to happen to my horse. My thoughts and prayers go out to yall and all others who have gone through this.

Hello,

I’ve read some posts and my heart goes out to the horse’s owners. Where are these attacks taking place and what is the manner of death or injury? My three horses were killed in Hobart, Indiana. My barn burned and a total of eleven animals died. I adopted my horses as babies from the US Bureau of Land Management. I’m devastated by this horror. I would trade my life to make the fire to have never happened. Unfounded speculation alluded to error or electrical but that’s improbable. I’m certain it was arson but nobody else cares. The pathetic thing is, I’m an animal rescuer. News hit Gary Post Tribune and NWI Times on Dec 30, 2010. I’ve since discovered there’ve been a suspicious number of barn fires throughout Indiana and Illinois but most were large facilities. Whether random acts or specifically targeted vengeance, the culprits are cowardly and enjoying their cruelty. They’ll probably not stop until they’re caught, end up dead or in jail for something unrelated. Hopefully someone that knows will eventually tell on them.

To the owners of DJ, I just read the post about the manner in which DJ died and it brought me to tears. Oh my God! What kind of horrible person would do such a thing? I feel so bad for you and for what poor DJ went through. I hope you catch the person responsible.

Sadly, those who enjoy animal cruelty usually don't stop. After a while, the thrill of torturing and killing animals fades and they go seeking bigger thrills...usually moving on to humans.

I've heard about the barn fires. I'm beginning to think that there is no safe place anymore...

I know
