Remember rescued 'Red'? He's doing much better

“Red” was rescued from Bray Lane, off Irish Bend Road, in August. The severely neglected and abused horse was moved to an undisclosed place where he has been treated for his condition and cared for. Though he still has far to go in his recovery, his is doing well, according to volunteers with the statewide Cruelty Investigation Task Force. When he arrived, volunteers were able to count 13 ribs easily; now they can count seven. The abrasions from ropes are healing (see before and after photos). The task force reported that 219 horses were rescued in the parish during 2016. Persons interested in helping Red can call 985-498-1346 or email charita.mccullough@yahoo.com to offer assistance.
