Are hardship cases involved in horse cruelty?
Sure there is, but this is not generally the case. For an act to be a crime, there has to be intent to commit a crime. Upon investigation law enforcement would be able to make that determination. But again, it goes back to responsibility. If an owner’s financial situation changes, the owner has to make a decision regarding the ownership of their horse(s)long before the horse has become a starvation case.
