CA - Horse lived in feces-filled home/child hid from flies

[Jolynna]

Ugh! That poor little dog. The fur that isn't clipped looks so matted. And the look in his eyes...

I didn't read in the articles whether or not the people owned that house. Did I miss that?

OT...BarnGoddess I found these at Lowes. They're about $5.00. They really work well, just add water. I have some in my back yard, and my friend put them in her horse stables.

I have a couple of those in the barn as well as two on a high post in the pens. I can fill one of those up quicker than you can imagine. I paid more than $5.00, though. I buy mine at a farm supply store.

Got my barn spray out today and sprayed all around the front door area. It made a big difference in the number of flies coming in the house. I'll spray again tomorrow.

I found a homemade spray in our local draft horse newsletter. Anyone with pets, it works great. Non toxic and smells good.

32 ounces of Avon Skin So Soft
5 tablespoons of pure Eucalyptus oil
Vinegar to make one gallon (32 ounces is what it takes)

Put this in a sprayer and spray your horses or even dogs. It will separate after sitting awhile, so shake it up before you spray. It also repels mosquitos. It's great if your dog's ears are getting bitten by flies. The skin so soft clings to the hair and even by itself repels flies, mosquitos and even sweat and other small bees.

Yep, I spray horses and dogs down with this. Even myself! It works great.

I hate that the caption on the pictures reads "Animals left the house in filth". What, the defenseless, miserable animals were supposed to clean up after themselves???
I hope the animals and the child are put into nice, clean, appropriate homes.

August 2015:

It calls itself the Center for Medical Progress, and its name has been all over the news in the past few weeks after it began releasing hidden-camera videos that set off an uproar over the use of tissue from aborted fetuses in medical research...

Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, a major abortion rights group, said the Center for Medical Progress is simply a front for a few anti-abortion activists who set up sting operations to harass abortion providers. The federation won a restraining order against CMP in federal court, barring the release of additional videos secretly gathered during its annual meetings.

"These are anti-abortion extremists who have an agenda to demonize abortion providers," Saporta said...

The only person without a long history of anti-abortion work is Nichole Surkala, who is listed as the center's contact if it is sued.

Surkala was convicted in California in 2007 of willful cruelty to her 12-year-old son, according to court papers. Police found she kept a horse and seven dogs in a house in Modesto that was filled with animal feces and rotting produce.
