If the auction companies continue to fail to abide by humane laws, they
absolutely will be held accountable!! And this Dr. Reese, is he in fact
"really" a veterinarian??? He must also, be held accountable."
Yes, he is the "on-site" Vet that draws blood for Coggins tests.
Although I knew this, when he refused to look at the downed horse, I point blank
asked him, "Are you a Veterinarian?" He replied yes, he was, but
there was nothing he could do without the owner's permission, and the owner
would have to request medical attention. His name is Thomas R. Reese, DVM,
Box 704, Tipton, OK (580) 667-5562.
"You must contact your humane enforcement authorities, and let them know of
the incident regarding this horse!! If this is the way these auctions
continue to operate, they must learn that they will PAY A PRICE, for continuing
to turn their blind eye."
Unfortunately, because the auction is outside the city limits of Stephenville,
located in the County, it does not fall under any Humane Authority enforcement's
jurisdiction. The only recourse is the Sheriff's dept.
"p.s. did the sale horses have access to food and water????"
There is never any food or water in the pens at the Stephenville auction, unless
the owner puts it there, which is VERY rare.
