Peaceful Acres Horse Rescue in Temple Can't Take More Animals

(Temple, Texas) - One thing most of us can agree on is that taking care of any animal is a big responsibility. Some of us have cats or dogs around our homes and they bring much happiness and sometimes chaos to our lives. But for other animals, they require more attention than others.

Peaceful Acres In Temple And Their Predicament

KWTX reports that the horse rescue is unable to take in any more horses due to two factors: lack of funding and rising costs.

Chantel Ropp reports that since opening in 2017, the rescue has taken in 90 horses, and 66 have found new, loving homes.

Most of these laws are just funny now, but at one time, there was a valid (or at least somewhat valid) reason for them to exist.

Texas has plenty of strange rules and regulations that you could technically be prosecuted for if you violate them, since they've never been amended. Some of these are only for specific cities and not state-wide, but all of them are pretty odd!
