An unfortunate situation

Jul 13, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I read Ms. Peggy Singh’s letter to your newspapers regarding a foal lying dead on the Rupert Craig Highway, surrounded by a family of horses. About the same time Ms. Singh spotted this incident I received a call from an animal lover, just after 8:00 am on July 11, regarding that same foal.
I told her to call the GSPCA but she soon called back informing that the GSPCA inspector would not be available until 9:00 am.
I told her I would locate a cart man and assist in moving the foal onto the parapet. When Richard, the cart man, and I arrived at the site of the accident, the foal was, luckily, up and walking around with her “family”.
She had visible injuries to the back of her legs where she had been hit but she seemed to be doing ok, as she was eating fresh cut grass in the median.
Unfortunately, the foal’s family was still affecting traffic as the herd slowly moved across the busy highway.
It is sad and dangerous to see these animals roaming the busy Highway in search of food. Even sadder is having to pick up their dead bodies and carry them to the dumpsite for disposal.
