As you can see if you follow this link, the Jason Meduna, 3 Strikes Ranch Horse Neglect trial has ended. Although sentencing isn’t until February 23rd, Mr. Meduna has been found “guilty” on 145 of 149 counts of animal abuse.
I think that Medunas’ lawyer summed it up best when he said… “He may have been arrogant, he may have been stupid. He may not have been a ‘true cowboy.’… He may not have made the right decisions. In fact, he made some pretty stupid decisions.”
I don’t have a lot of legal expertise, but I’d say it’s pretty bad when this is the best your defense lawyer can come up with.
If you are a Jason Meduna “type”, you won’t heed my advice anyways, but I’m still compelled to say – If you aren’t a capable, professional trainer, don’t pass yourself off as one. If you can’t properly take care of an animal (ANY animal), don’t take possession.
