Shame on the "well-known authorized agent" of thoroughbreds, Ernie Paragallo, who let this happen to 177 thoroughbreds on a 500-acre farm in Upstate NY. The perp was ONLY CHARGED with 22 counts of MISDEMEANOR animal cruelty. All of his racing privileges have been revoked.

ARTICLE: http://allday.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/04/17/1895781.aspx ----> I love Jill Rappaport; she writes: "Thoroughbreds--once beautiful thriving animals--were left for months during one of the worst winters we ever had to fend for themselves."
The Columbia-Greene Humane Society was tipped off and raided the farm, where they seized all the horses. However, the perp has only signed over 67 of the horses to the Humane Society, which ARE UP FOR ADOPTION, FREE to approved homes.
PLEASE CONTACT KATRINA at the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA at (518) 828-6044, x101; and/or e-mail at cghsuser001@aol.com (@aol.com). For more info, go to their website: http://www.cghs.org/horses.htm.

I understand that the farm workers who turned Paragallo in are being deported as their papers were not in order. What's up with that? We give immunity to drug dealers who rat on criminals but not good folks who tried to help!
The CGHS also needs free legal help to recoup their expenditures.
