MANALAPAN,
NJ – December 1, 2014 – The Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of
New Jersey has been consulting with legislators and other officials in Trenton
and feels confident that there should be a resolution to the matter of the
horses being mistreated at a Swedesboro, NJ farm.
“We
are aware of the inhumane treatment of standardbreds owned by Monica Thors, and
we have used our contacts in state government to push for actions to remove the
horses from her,” said SBOANJ President Tom Luchento. “The appropriate
agencies in Trenton will be moving forward to rectify this problem. We
are shocked and incensed that the mistreatment of these horses has been ongoing
and the issues unresolved despite previous interventions by state
agencies.
“We
have reached out to our contacts in state government, and we are adding the
pressure we can provide to the voices of many who have spoken out about this
shocking incident,” Luchento added. “We have been assured that there will
be action and a resolution to this shortly.”
