  1. LOSER. What a creep. Steals other folks animals to send to slaughter so he can pocket the funds.

    Personally while I no longer eat red meat–I consider a creep like this a total loser. I hope they find him FAST. And lock him for a LONG TIME.

  3. Hey, doesn’t he look like he could be a brother to the guy next to Slaughterhouse Sue in one of the pictures? Louie, I think you have a great idea because our Mustangs and Burros are appearing all over the country. It
    would be great if we could check out the Mustang for sale ads to see where they came from and if it sounds fishy get a hold of this hotline. I do know for a fact that at least 4 or 5 mustangs where slaughtered at DeKalb in the last year that it was open. Very Very sad. Its so obvisous that they want to clear all the range land because once the horses are what we call ADOPTED there is NO trail to find out how they are doing. I asked my senators why there was no method or paper trail available to find out their location. We have all sorts of breed registries, why not a Mustang and Burro registry. I also indicated that if money was the issue, WE ARE ALREADY PAYING MILLIONS with this ill fated, demoralizing and cruel process of rounding them up and shipping them off to different parts of the counry. I would like to post the names of all the “Killer Buyers” in my area because most do not know who they are. I could even share this at my club meetings. I’m with Margaret haven’t eaten beef or pork
    in a very long time. And personally, I don’t miss it. Its amazing how many law enforcement agencies they can field when it involves cattle. While our horses are a different thing. Amazing. I sure hope they find this guy.

  5. Well they had this clown on the news and I saw him and the cattle on labor day weekend. They ran an ad on kxxv on the 10 o’ clock news and I knew for certain this was the guy, so I call the task force hotline, which goes to a ladies voicemail stating she will be out of the office till 5 Oct 2011. So I call the sherrifs office, they havent a clue. Take info and wait for regular business hours to proceed. ( some of these cattle are still on the property next door to me) Thankfully Special Agent Marvin Wills answered his home phone at 10:30 pm and went on to explain that they were not paid for from the auction barns, hence the warrants. Just to let yall know, just an honest man trying to do my part, chad ps: my hat goes off to Marvin Wills for posting his home # and knowing that a lawmans job is 24/7!!! atta boy!

  6. Interesting. On that note, I have another kill buyer FYI: Kill buyer Dave Quinn has a warrant out for his arrest in Arizona in regards to a dui where he hit and run someone on the road. (not related to animal cruelty) I went to all his court cases and I followed him on the road to Texas when he fled the nite before his sentencing hearing. When he was here, he used to leave small babies to die after he took their mothers to slaughter, and the horses in his lot always ended up with knife stab wounds and were tied up for days. I have purchased and saved many horses from him. He fled to somewhere in Texas right before his sentencing date. Would love to find him so that we can report him to the authorities here. If someone frequents the Texas auctions please be on the lookout for him. Pictures of him are on my fb page. Thanks a lot.
