Wants to know where to file complaint about neglected horses

Bones were showing and 'Their manes and tails were so thick with burrs that they were tight to their skin to where they couldn't even shoo off the flies that were covering their faces!', Tamara Andrew writes.

To whom does one complain to about a bunch of neglected horses on a rural Adair County farm? While out 4-wheeling Saturday my husband and I drove by a farm (South Adair County - CM) that had at least a half dozen horses that were obviously sorely neglected! Their manes and tails were so thick with burrs that they were tight to their skin to where they couldn't even shoo off the flies that were covering their faces! You could see every bone in their bodies because the only thing growing in the pasture was burrs! This is just obvious blatant neglect! I don't know them (the people who own the horses - CM) but they definitely don't need to own horses if they can't take care of them any better than that! Don't we have a humane society or something around here to intervene for those poor animals? - Tamara Andrew
