Judge Orders Many Horses Returned
Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph R. Glownia this afternoon ordered 40 horses rescued from an East Aurora property on March 18, 2010 returned to Beth Hoskins.

The SPCA Serving Erie County has been granted permission to inspect the horses and their care on Hoskins’ Emery Road farm. Additionally, Hoskins has been ordered to hire additional help in caring for the animals, and has been ordered to provide adequate care and sustenance for the horses.
SPCA Board of Directors President Larry Robb states, “It is with grave concern for the horses that the SPCA is complying with this court order. Our concern is not only for the forty horses ordered returned, but for any other horses which may have been acquired by Ms. Hoskins since the March rescue and may now be residing on one of her properties.” Robb adds the judge's order may not serve the intended purpose. "I'm sure the judge is trying to help, but it won't save us any money if she picks horses from all over the place instead of one location. Say there are 40 horses in one location and she takes 20, we still have to take care of the other 20," says Robb. Hoskins will be allowed to choose which horses will be returned.
Hoskins' attorneys, Barry Covert and George Muscato, say the ruling is appropriate. "We think it makes a whole lot of sense," says Covert. "Judge Glownia is interested in mitigating the expenses to the SPCA, and quite frankly every horse that gets returned to Beth under their supervision mitigates the cost of the SPCA and more importantly to their donors, so they don't need to seek donations for expenses Beth is ready, willing, and able to pay for."
Muscato adds, "The SPCA made a decision we thought was inappropriate and the return of the horse is the right thing to do in bringing this matter to a conclusion." Muscato says Hoskins is a leading expert in the breeding and handling of Morgan horses. "The SPCA in their own 2008 memorandum complemented her on the beautiful farm and found her more than capable of caring for these horses," adds Muscato. Both attorneys say they'll deal with the additional charges expected to filed against Hoskins.
One hundred thirty animals, including 73 horses and 53 cats and 4 dogs, were rescued from Hoskins’ property in March. Six dogs and two cats who were in good health and resided in the home were returned to Hoskins shortly thereafter when living conditions in the home were improved.
Also today, the Erie County District Attorney’s office has notified the SPCA that it would like to move ahead with one animal cruelty charge for each animal rescued from Hoskins’ properties in March with the exception of the six animals who were returned. Originally, 10 charges were filed in an effort to represent each animal victim. The SPCA will be filing the additional 114 charges this month.
Civil proceedings against Hoskins will continue in front of Judge Glownia July 12, 9:30 am in New York State Supreme Court. A date for criminal proceedings in front of Aurora Town Justice Douglas W. Marky in Town of Aurora Court has not been set.
