Shipshewana Auction September 10, 2009

[silvershadowtraining]

Ugh. ANd everyone says that the Amish are so good to their animals. Horse shit. There's never been a time that I've visited this auction withough witnessing similar actions. It's just a sick sick place that is overlooked by so many.

Keith and Karen Lambright , what did you do with this creep besides fire him? Did you tell him how disgusting he is or did you say i am sorry that i have got to let you go , the public is angry. I am sure his family comes there to. I am curious to know if they are all bully's picking on defenseless animals. How old is this piece of scum and what kind of parent's does he have? The public has a right to know that and his name so as to make sure to never allow him around any of their animals.

I would love to get a hold of this pathetic excuse of human being for 10 minutes!!!

[Rottonchild]

This has to be one of the most horrifying videos I've seen and you can sure bet I will share this with others to make them aware of the wretched place. Disciplinary action? What? he got a talking to? He needs a good beat down and then when's he's able to get back up, beat him down again. That evil waste of human breath! What if someone did that to someone he knew? A friend? Family member? His own beloved pet? Please tell me this guy got something more than a slap on the wrist!

I hope somebody gets this loser in a dark alley and does to him what he's done to these innocent souls.

What a useless waste of space this idiot is.

[beaelliott]

Looks like this pathetic kid is a cowboy rodeo wanna be... They all get such joy at domination over the helpless and the weak. Our culture of "macho" over animals leads to violence. We consume the suffering of the innocent 3 times a day... Please, consider a healthy and compassionate vegan life.

[warbirdtim]

this kid is a loser, and will end up being a blight on society, or will end up a wife beater!!!!!!!

[warbirdtim]

This kid is a loser, he needs to come over here and i'll educate him real quick! Prison would not be good enough for him. Does anyone know his name and where he lives? I would like to visit him, or his parents.

[alli080808]

this is the reason why I wish I could do the same thing to people like this!

[fishmarc]

To Keith & Kevin Lambright: There is no possible way that this kid could have gotten away with this without someone at the auction knowing. YOU are responsible. As if these creatures don't have to go thru enough during their brief lives at the hands of man. Working in these environments creates an atmosphere of violence and it is your responsibility to stop it. I'm am truly sicken by that young man and you, who profit from the torture and deaths of animals who cannot defend themselves.

[bphargrave]

I couldn't even finish watching this video. How can this person do this? The poor animal can't defend itself. This person should be beaten to see what it feels like or either arrested for animal cruelty and thrown in prison. This makes me cry. Please somebody do something!!!!!

[nobypass]

WOW ...how shcking. And, how stupid.! The amish appearance makes one think that they are gentle religious people . The truth is from what I have seen is the majority of amish are silent, bitter, vindictive ,gossiping, mean people in a cult all thier own. And, many are mean to animals. That boy probably was taught that way.Now that he's been caught the family has probably made up terrible stories about animal activist to cover thier own shame! I'm also very disappointed with this auction barn.

[imuurme]

the Amish ppl are known to be abusers and have no regards for animals' life. The twirp on this vid. needs to have the same treatment done to him. I wish i could.

[askalice50]

Letting this creep go from his employment isn't good enough. He clearly needs to leave society for a while and get himself sorted out. This isn't the first time he's done this to a defenseless animal, and it won't be the last time. Lock him up.

[ghwtcod5123]

The Human race is just disgusting.

[manemurphy]

God is watching and he will be judged but If I ever see him there, only god can stop me from what I'll do.

[greyfel]

If I could get my hands on that man he would never mistreat anything again.

[TradingPlace]

We deeply apologize for the actions of our employee as seen in this video. This is not reflective of the mission and values of our company. We dont believe an animal should ever be treated this way. We have taken disciplinary action with the employee in this video, and have met with the rest of the livestock staff making them aware of the consequences of such actions. Thank you for taking the time to make us aware of this situation.

This place needs to be shut down,fined and exposed for there crimes. This is also a common place for horses to be sold and sent for slaughter in Mexico and Canada.

[Lilmosey]

The world has gone mad. This makes me absolutley heartsick. I wanted to reach through the computer and kick HIM over and over again. What a monster. How was he ever allowed to be there in the first place? I hope SOMETHING was done.

[calicogwen]

I see the Shipshewana auction is still a  dump. I'm surprised IN puts up with this hellhole...oh, wait, silly me; the A's and their cute little buggies bring in a lot of tourist dollars.

[bc191]

Live near there...and you hit that nail right on the head. Speaking of nails...I would like to hammer one through that SOB's coin purse!

[rockinfortheplanet]

Thank you for exposing this heinous abuse of a defenceless animal. I hope this evil animal abuser is prevented from ever being near an animal again in his lifetime. There must be a special place in hell for such brutal and detestable specimens. How can a human being stoop so low?
