Frustrated about starving horses

I am very frustrated with our current laws & society's apathy about horses.  I know that there are many of us who are passionate about horses & for that I am asking everyone to put on their thinking caps....I have personally seen 310 horses belonging to 3 different owners within the last 13 months.  Not remarkable except all 3 herds are starving & these numbers don't include the dead horses that died of starvation/malnourishment/harsh winters.  A group of us mounted huge rescue efforts, spent lots of time organizing to rescue all 3 groups.....only to be halted in our tracks by either law enforcement not following through or wanting to pursue, or county/district attorneys not wanting to pursue (either because of judges not wanting the horses to leave the county or from county commissioners not wanting to be involved).  I want to scream!  Things have to change!!  At this time it looks like all 3 herds will have to endure yet another winter - starving.  And the a.......s who own these poor horses just get to trot along continuing to neglect them.....occasionally just getting their hands slapped but no one doing a damn thing!...try as some of us might.  I am feeling a bit hopeless about my generation & the older ones....leaving the thought that the only hope seems to be with younger generations!!  We need to make sure they are trained better than us!  Sorry to be a downer, but I am so frustrated and I am so sick of horses being the recipients of our ignorance, apathy, being stuck in our "old" ways, etc.  If anyone has ideas on how these situations can change, please share!!!
