Tim Conduit called me today.... I told him I was busy darting and I would have to call him back. When I called him back later and told him what I was doing and how freakin crazy it was......... we both said that I had to get on here and tell all ya all(Jim Donan) about the experience I had the past 2 days.
I must confess here I was working(not paid) for the other side the Humane Society.
I got a phone call yesterday morning by them in desperate need of someone with a dart gun. I thought about it and said what the heck since 2 weeks ago the idiots were apposing a preserve being put in close by and made statements in for the TV and paper.
So I get to location of the so called "Horse Rescue" the executive director is there, the enforcement officer and a bunch of other volunteer tree huggers. While so called rescuing these animals they lost control of them and now are free from the day before running anywhere they want. They want me to dart them with what they had which they didn't know what they had for drugs. No Vets anywhere. They have them wound up and want me to dart anyhow. So I oblige 3cc of what ever doesn't work Hit her again they said I do so. Doesn't work anymore the first shot because they just want to run them around so what ever I'm using is aloud to work. They wanted me to dart her again but I refused because I figured it would kill her. Eventually we corner her in a neighbors shed and with some extra gates we got her on the trailer.
With the last shot of drugs they wanted me to dart the next one. I knew we didn't have a chance but I did it anyhow..... 2hrs later not a chance.
Today I get a text from the HS officer "we got more drugs 4 the stallion can u come out" I gave him a call and said they had 10cc of the stuff I said what is the stuff?... he doesn't know but if we cant get it with this then they were gonna use a bullet. I swear he said that! I go out 3 darts later nothing...they continued to run this guy around. I really started to feel bad for him and told they needed to get a vet out and get something to actually knock him down. They call HS vet and they decided to use Ketimene(sp?) The officer was going to get it not the vet come out! They wanted me to loaded and dart it I said no way and I'm out of here. I left my gun and some darts for them and bugged out.
I guess my whole point here is HS with the blundering ***** followers put these animals in more harm then they had been in. Ran them around thru fences, briar's and a junk yard. No license vet any were to be found but getting controlled drugs handled by whom ever wanted to hold them but are willing to just drop a bullet in them if need be. NOW picture a deer farmer doing this! OH boy what mess one would be in!
Excuse the grammer and run on sentences. My wife is yelling over my shoulder about it!
