Please we need as many people as we can get to write the Honorable Judge John Wesley Jones at the Sumner County General Session Court 117 West smith st. Gallatin TN 37066 Fax 615-451-6072 This is in relation to several starved to death horses. Thegirl that did this to these poor creatures got a slap on the wrist and she also recieved back onwership of 6 horses that survived!!!:mad: We need as many people as possible to write and let the Judge know that this is just absurd that she should not be allowed to have these horses!! You dont need to be a horse lover to not have this bother you and make you wonder why??? I will post the link but please if you are weak of heart or stomach please do not look but if you look please let the images of these tragic creatures fuel you to write to the Judge!! The link is www.harperstables.net/stoneqhfarm.html Thank you the poor animals still in her custody have no voice!!:( :( :(
 
Oh My God! I can't believe how cruel people can be. These animals, and all animals for that matter, are helpless and rely on us. Besides that fact the amount of unconditional love they give is amazing...letter to that judge on the way. May God have Mercy on that woman's soul!
 
I'll help. Someone needs to have a voice for these poor creatures! Thanks for letting us know!
 
The best thing to do (I don't know much about this, but find it equally infuriating - I can't even go to that link, I'll start bawling and want to ring that person's neck) is to get an animal organization involved, like Peta or ASPCA...... is anyone like that involved in this? I'd definitely write them!
 

Yes The Humane society is involved and PETA is involved But the judge let her keep ownership on the 6 horses that survived!!That is why we need as many people aspossible to write this judge to try ande get his judgement over thrown!! Thank you for the info thou! And for anyone that might write PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE No nasty letters they will getno where's thank you!!
 
It is quite unlikely that a letter campaign is going to encourage the judge to overturn his own decision. He has to make rulings based on the law, not on his feelings. In every state animals are considered under the law to be little more than property. As such most crimes are barely misdemeanors that will get nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

The only way to overturn his decision is on a legal appeal and unless he made some sort of error during the trial, that's unlikely.

His decision may be unpopular, but if he made the decision based on the laws of TN, there's not much that can be done. It may help to vent one's displeasure with his ruling, but I wouldn't get any hopes up that any number of letters would change it.
 
Don't hesitate to contact the ASPCA. They often have a police force of sorts and can at least keep an eye on the situation over there. Contact the media too if no one has yet.
 
My 'soft spot' is animals, anyone that hurts or mistreats an animal is, IMHO, lower than low. I have no sympathy whatsoever for them, but unfortunately the law is very lenient on animal abuse - I know Peta has a big 'voice' with regard to making their feelings known and heard, so hopefully with them on board something will get done. I hope the lady who did that gets what she deserves.
 
Holy cow. How can anyone be this cruel to the animals? Gosh, this is making me so angry I'm practically shivering. Even though I don't agree with everything PETA does, this one really hits home.

I hope I can do more than writing the letter. This is such a tragedy.
 
Thank you all. The judge retired right after this case??? The letters beign sent to him are beign sent to the district attorneys office. I also do not agree with everything PETA does, but this is just a case of blatant disregard for another living creatures life!! The reason why she was not charged with the full 5 counts she plead guilty to is that the Judge said she is an upstanding good moral member of the community,and she has also donated money to good local charities and groups. She maybe should have used that money to feed her horses???I met her once in 2000 at a big quarter horse show in Ohio called the all american congress, and honestly I did not care for her I felt she was very pompous and only had the horses as a prestige thing. I had the honor of knowing Conclusives Dare (if you looked at the site)He was really truly a wonderful animal that loved eating Munchkins and ham sandwiches and he was genuinely a clown!! When I had heard she purchased him I was a little annoyed because he was a loving horse I felt he would get no love from her. But my husband told me that "well they are wealthy he will be well taken care of and most likely they will have a groom someone that will love him" If I only knew I would have tried to do something to stop the sale. :( I also understand the laws and in most states animals are mere property but they need caring compassionate humans to be their voice. I truly believe that for extreme circumstances laws in this matter need to be changed. And also just because you have a large wallet does not put you above the law!!
 
Did a little research and I found out how much Melinda and her husband paid for Conclusives Dare.......$45,000.00 Now on that how could you so easily (looking at it from a money stand point)let 45,000.00 Just waste away and die????I just dont get it:( :confused: :(

Well I would have to agree with you on that one! There is no way she will be meeting these horses at the rainbow bridge!
 
:mad: CAN someone please explain to me how this woman can be UPSTANDING ??? You know I just cant wrap my mind around these pictures.How can the judge sleep at night ? People who get away with things really will do it again and again. Maybe the judge should just turn his loved ones over to her for a ew months to see if she really is UPSTANDING and WONT do it again !hurt another. Sorry for the long post I am just in shock still.
 
Believe me you will never be able to wrap your mind around these pictures.They are horrible,very sad.animals depend on humans to take care of them and Melinda Stone and the Judge failed miserably!!Caring compassionate humans need to be the voice for the ones that have no voice!! And that includes children here in NJ about 2 months ago 3 young boys were left to suffer at the hands of a cruel woman One boy died and was cruelly stuffed in to a rubbermaid box while the other 2 had to live in the basement with their poor dead brother just feet away:( It is people like Melinda Stone That abuse defenseless animals,that could then possibly go on and abuse a human beign. That is why I feel that laws need to be come stiffer for animal abuse.Especially for cases like the one involving Mrs.Stone and the horses. I just dont understand how you could look out your window and see dead and dying horses lying about the fields?? Or Hear one in the barn banging to be let out and fed??:( It is cases like the one involving children and the one with the horses that is slowly making me lose faith in humanity.:(
