Sad Event - Happy Ending

Last night my dad received a phone call that was upsetting to me. Last weekend at the rodeo a man was there trying to sell a horse. The man did not belong with the rodeo. We had never seen him before on the rodeo grounds. Someone called my dad last night and said the horse had been left there since Sunday with no food or water. I guess after everyone left the rodeo the man came back and put the horse in a small corral. Since I have a tender heart and am so attached to all my animals, I could not believe someone would be so mean to do such a thing. My dad immediately got on the phone with another officer of the rodeo, who lives much closer to the rodeo grounds than we do. This gentlemen drove down to check on the horse and made sure it was taken care of and had food and water. After he called us back, I felt much better about the horse. I can't imagine how people can be so mean to an animal. Animals depend on us to take care of them. This made me think about the people living during Anne's time that were put into concentration camps and had to do without food and water. These people were mistreated also. When you think about what happened to this horse, it was also mistreated. I believe when you have to go that long without anything to eat or drink it has to be very painful. I am glad that someone called my dad, because he is a person that would see something was done to take care of the horse.
