Hay flies through the air as Al and A.J. Blain, of Billings Flying Service, use a helicopter to haul hay to horses on the former Leachman Cattle Company ranch east of Billings on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011. The Billings Gazette reports that the Northern International Livestock Exposition had collected $10,000 in cash donations and about 250 tons of hay by Thursday. Five dead horses have been found on the ranch. A Montana veterinarian had warned that others would start dying off in droves if they did not receive food soon. The horses belong to James H. Leachman, who has filed for bankruptcy. Leachman is scheduled to appear Friday on multiple charges of animal cruelty.

let's string him (James H. Leachman) up!
This man needs to go to jail so he can think about what he has let happen to these horses, it's not like itwas only one or two, even though that would have been bad enough. Why didn't he ask for help or notify someone that he was not able to feed or take care of those horses?
Making Hay.
They show somed young horses with the yellow leg bands that died from the circulation being cut off and there are more that will soon have the same fate if they do not get the leg bands off. It will cut the circulation off on them too. There is a blk/gray behind a Buckskin mare in the picture above with 2 leg bands on them. THIS needs to be addressed! And the man needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extend the law allows!!!
