Dying Horses at Sugarcreek Auction in Ohio
Join Animals' Angels to put a stop to atrocities against horses and other animals auction at Sugarcreek in Ohio.
You have read reports here on Tuesday’s Horse about Sugarcreek Auction and the atrocious acts of cruelty committed against horses. Horses, of course, are not the only ones who suffer at the hands of Sugarcreek Auction, owned and operated by Leroy Baker.
Animals’ Angels state:
After four years of solid work at the Sugarcreek Auction, Animals’ Angels current investigations show that the conditions remain unacceptable:
Typically upon arrival, investigators find emaciated, injured, lame, sick, infected, blind, heavily pregnant and dead horses; horses subjected to extremely rough handling, hitting horses with full force across the face; extreme overcrowding, and horses being trampled to death – due to ignorant and cruel handling. Virtually without exception auction veterinarians refuse care.
Animals’ Angels ask you to help bring Baker to justice and put an end to his shameful enterprise.
Animals’ Angels is currently filing new complaints at state and federal levels. To be as effective as possible, Animals’ Angels is asking you to help push these efforts to the next level. We have damning evidence against Baker and you can make Baker’s cruel history roar and resonate more in the ears of authorities.
Will you help us raise our voices to say no human being can continue to accept this cruelty and ignorance?
Thank you for making a difference and for being there for these animals!
