OMG if this in fact is true and the pictures are real, how horrible .... turns my stomach. These poor animals are relying on humans to feed, water and care for them.

Shocking allegations of neglect surrounding a dozen gaunt horses in a barn owned by respected Halton Hills holistic veterinarian Sharon Kopinak are under investigation by the Ontario SPCA.

The College of Veterinarians of Ontario has also launched an investigation “into the matter involving Dr. Kopinak,’’ Jan Robinson, the college’s registrar and CEO, told the Star Friday.

Three people who visited the farm near Rockwood on Labour Day weekend and say they took photographs allege that about 12 emaciated horses in a barn appeared to have no access to food or water and to be in a state of weakness and lethargy.

How in hell could the OPP only look at the horses in the field and not inspect the barn?

Take care,

In all fairness, in the Rate a Vet, she does very, very well.
