Rescued Animals in Abbeville County Could Be Seized To Satisfy Debt

By Dianne Derby
Published: September 15, 2010

Dozens of animals rescued from a farm in Abbeville County could be taken back to pay off a $21,000 debt owed to the landlord.

Last week the Greenwood Humane Society told us the animals were left at a property on in Abbeville County. (Click here to watch story). Big Oaks Rescue Farm in Greenwood and the Greenwood Humane Society took pictures of animal carcasses on the property, saying the animals starved to death.

7 On Your Side has learned the landlord, Ron Cooley, has filed an application and affidavit with the Abbeville County Magistrate Court to get back $21,000 dollars in rent he claimed is owed to him from Narvin Lichfield. Lichfield is the man the Greenwood Humane Society says owns the animals.

Lichfield had until 5 p.m. Wednesday, September 15th to ask for a hearing but the court had not received any response by close of business that day.

The Abbeville County Chief Magistrate Judge, G.T. Ferguson, said it may be a couple more days before any decision is made by the landlord about how he wants to proceed. News Channel 7 will continue to follow the court proceedings.

To be fair, I think some folks get into this binnis with the best of intentions. However, those folks don't last, or they change... Having so much control over other individuals, let alone adolescents, well... 'nuff said.

I do think it attracts narcissistic megalomaniacs, though, when it comes to the "founder" category!  :twofinger:

Attorneys say they have settled dispute over land where animals were rescued

ABBEVILLE COUNTY — Attorneys say they have settled a legal dispute involving a 450-acre tract in Abbeville County where dozens of starving animals were rescued last month.

Joe Mann, who spearheaded the rescue of eight horses and 40 sheep from the property, said he is relieved that the case's resolution will not affect his efforts to restore the animals' health. Mann is president of the Greenwood County Humane Society's board of directors, He said numerous people have contacted him about adopting the horses and sheep that he rescued.

"This is the worst case of animal abuse I've ever been involved in," said Mann, who photographed the decomposing corpses of cattle, horses and sheep when he first visited the property last month.

Mann said he was concerned that the fate of the animals that were rescued would become entangled in the dispute between Ron Cooley and Narvin Lichfield, who has been identified as the owner of the malnourished livestock. Cooley said in court documents filed in Abbeville County that Lichfield owed him $21,000 in past-due rent.

Attorneys for both men confirmed Thursday that the case has been settled.

Cooley said Thursday that Lichfield has agreed to repay him. He also said he has no interest in taking possession of the animals that were found on the property.
