Center Brook Farm Equine Cruelty Updates
This page was started to keep all interested updated on the status of the horses at Center Brook Farm for thoroughbreds in Climax, NY. The latest facts on the case against Ernie Paragallo:
Mr. Paragallo has been charged with 22 misdemeanor counts of Failure to Provide Sustenance. Each charge carries a minimum sentence of up to one year and/or up to a $1,000 fine.
176 horses at Center Brook Farm are under the care of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA. Dozens of the horses had infections and parasites, and virtually all were thin to emaciated.
The health of the Center Brook horses continues to improve with the help of regular observation by staff and volunteers from CGHS/SPCA. Mr. Paragallo's case has once again been postponed.
We have no affiliation with the ASPCA, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), or any other humane society. We receive no funding from any other organization, nor do we receive any federal, state, county or local funding. All expenses involved with the Center Brook seizure will be the burden of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA. Instances like this are impossible to include into an annual budget, and the enormity of this commitment is going to utilize our every resource.
