Miniature Horse, Jolly, Dies from Pit Bull Attack

Jolly Stayed Strong Until the End
Lubbock, TX - Jolly, who was attacked by pit bulls at the Hearts and Hooves ranch, has died. Veterinarians said Jolly was doing well until blood clots began to form. Her kidneys and other organs began shutting down, but her heart stayed strong until the end.
"The vet said it was overall toxemia which is an infection that spread throughout the horse's body."
Honor (pictured) still has serious injuries. Since Jolly's passing away, Hearts and Hooves says they're angry. They spoke to a lawyer recently. You can keep track of their story and mission at their vox website. If you would like to help Hearts and Hooves of Lubbock, towels, blankets, and hay or monetary donations can be sent to:

Security State Bank
7801 Quaker Ave.
Lubbock, TX 79424

Lead the path Hearts and Hooves! LEAD THE WAY! As sad and heartless as it may sound, your organization stands to make a larger impact than a human victim organization can. People tend to ACT when animals are severely attacked or abused. People tend to "hope it does not happen to them" when people suffer the same tragedy.

We totally agree with you. Our goal is TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! We are going to lead the way to lobby for tougher laws not only at the local or state level, but all the way to the federal level. We can use everyone's help.

Please go to www.heartsandhooveslubbock.vox.com. I have posted links to govt. officials.

I would like to make a correction about sending monetary donations. We do not have a Paypal account. Donations can be made to at Security State Bank, 7801 Quaker Ave., Lubbock, TX 79424

Thank y'all for your support.
