For Tonka & Dingolay - We Carry On

[EileneWood]

Rest in Peace baby Terry Tonka, son of Layla.  We will carry on in your name, your mom, Sienna Rachel and Brook and Brook's Lil Angel. Your mom is doing so good, she is so beautiful. Sienna is too and she has a forever home. I love and miss you baby Tonka.

I keep coming back to this. I hope we can make a difference in court for the sake of these and other defenseless animals. Starvation is the cruelest form of abuse. It should never happen in this country.  I hope we can see a recovery video soon of Layla and Sienna. Poor Layla. My heart cries for her loss.

He would have grown up to be something. Just looks at that bone structure! People SUCK!

Wow, sometimes I feel I am sheltered, then I see this video and realize the world is so cruel. I am eternally grateful to individuals who pick up the cross and make this their mission in life... to help the poor helpness horses or other animals that can not defend themselves against these selfish poor excuse for humans! Thank you to all who rescue, and do a good job at it!

We must keep fighting for and supporting these poor innocent angels.  Horses helped build America. We should be ashamed to let this happen to them! RIP Terry Tonka. Keep fighting to live, Dingolay!

How sad. What is it with people? Poor little fellow

I hadn't been keeping up with BHFER lately ("too busy" is a poor excuse, I'm ashamed to say). When a friend sent me this video of Tonka, I was sad to learn that you have had to endure still another tragedy with another rescued baby, Theresa. I'm thankful that God's loving arms are strong enough to bear you up, along with all the wonderful BFHER volunteers and the beautiful horses who endure hell before finding blessed heaven (on earth, with BHFER's angels, and Above, with the other Angels).

Thanks to the loving people at Beauty's Haven, little Tonka knew love and kindness from human beings. His death is beyond heartbreaking - it is totally senseless. The monsters who starved him and his companions and the useless animal control people who left these horses in the hopeless conditions that Beauty's Haven found them in belong in jail for several years. It is hard to comprehend a mindset that would think nothing of starving an animal. These kinds of people must pay for their crimes!

BLESS each and every one of you that fought to show Tonka love in the end. I volunteer at Equine Outreach in Bend, Oregon. I am at a loss each and every time a new intake comes in as to try and understand how someone can let this happen to an animal they once claimed to have loved.

BABY Tonka knew love.....

He shines in your hearts and will carry you to help others...

You have made a beautiful tribute to Terry Tonka. His young life was cruel and hard. But you helped him cross knowing love and feeling the warm hands of love on him. If nothing more, feel good about that. I too will forward this video and pray that this POS bastard can never harm a gentle creature again!

[myheartsezyes]

I cannot explain the sadness and empty feeling I have felt since Tonka's passing. The sleepless nights thinking about his suffering and this bastard who continues to abuse animals. I wish I could be there for the court date but I will for sure forward this video to my 500 contacts I have to make Tonka's voice heard
