“Today (Wednesday) we did
44, and 43 of them are federal
horses. One young colt was not
marked. It apparently was born
after December,” said Gilbert.
“We’ll continue the process
tomorrow.”
Gilbert said three special law
enforcement agents from the
BLM who have been handling
the investigation since the
horses were found on rancher
Joe Corbett’s east Texas proper
ty met Thursday with the U.S.
attorney in Tyler to discuss pos
sible federal charges. He said he
did not anticipate any federal
charges being filed soon.
Corbett was charged Monday
with one count of cruelty to
animals, but authorities said
multiple state charges would be
filed before his scheduled
arraignment Dec. 10.
Last week, a deer hunter
found the carcasses of two
horses in Corbett’s pasture. Dur
ing the next few days, 38 dead
horses and another 149 horses
near death were found on the
380-acre pasture, which was de
scribed as a “mud patch.”
The survivors were taken to
the Fund for Animals’ Black
Beauty Ranch near Tyler, where
they were being cared for by Jer
ry Owens, the organization’s ex
ecutive vice president, and his
family.
“They are doing better,”
Owens said Wednesday, “but
they are all in very poor health.
We lost one more yesterday and
I’d say we have about five that
are marginal, that could go
either way.
“They have been eating con
tinuously. We have coastal ber
muda grass hay and they just
stand there and eat it. We also
have mineral blocks and protein
blocks laid out and they are lick
ing them.
“Oh, it’s nic? to see. Now they
throw their ears back a little and
once in a while one of them will
take a kick. Their stomachs are
filling out a bit.”
Owens said the Fund for
Animals has received “one tele
phone call after another” from
people who want to adopt a
horse. He said east Texans also
had been generous about donat
ing hay.
Gilbert said the BLM would
allow adoption of the horses af
ter they are fully recovered.
“The Tyler horses can be
adopted as soon as the horses
are in shape and the legal en
tanglements are solved,” he said.
“We’re not going to improve or
change our technique (of adop
tion) just because of this one in
cident.”

Zeller decided to confront So

“I asked the woman at the So

I looked dead,” she said. “That
lady was pretty surprised by my
question, but according to the
Social Security office I had died
in July.”
Zeller is afraid the mixup may
cost her the $440.10 check for
December. The check is due
Friday.
“If the check doesn’t come, it
is going to be rough. Some bills
won’t be paid and others will
have to wait. Something like this
happened once before, and I
borrowed money and had to pay
interest on it. This time I’m not
doing it that way. If I have to
wait, then they have to wait,
too,” she said.
