Reporting abuse and neglect |
| The place for
you to begin is with the local law enforcement agency, which will be a
municipal police department if the horse is kept within city limits or
the county sheriff’s department if the horse is in the country. But,
before you call, be sure to get your facts straight and organized.
Remain calm, so you do not appear to the law enforcement officer taking
your complaint to be an hysterical do-gooder. Simply relate your facts
in a calm, detailed, careful fashion. |
| Law enforcement
will want the following information from you: Your name and phone
number, description of the horse and the horse's condition, location of
the horse with enough detail to permit the horse to be located, and the
name, if known, of the owner or "caretaker" of the horse. |
| In some cases
local law enforcement is not equipped or trained in equine neglect and
abuse investigations so they will contact S.C.A.R.E. or another
equine investigative rescue group for for assistance in following up on
your complaint. |
