Panhandle Equine Rescue Hosts Animal Cruelty Investigations School

June 21, 2018

Wednesday, Panhandle Equine Rescue in Cantonment hosted the hands-on portion of the American Animal Cruelty Investigations Schools taught by Doug Eddins.

Animal control officers from Mobile, Baton Rouge, LA and Ocala, FL, joined sheriff’s deputies from Amite, LA, and Jefferson County, AL , in the class. Local Farrier Josh Weekly taught an equine podiatry class showing the importance of keeping a horse’s feet in good shape and how to recognize problems and abuse.

The only horse rescue in Escambia County, PER was founded by a small group of concerned citizens with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and provide adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned equines. PER is authorized by the court system to investigate equine cruelty in Escambia County.
