On Thursday afternoon, the Humane Society of Louisiana announced the passing of a severely neglected horse who was recently rescued from deplorable conditions in Ascension Parish. The animal welfare agency let its Facebook followers know that the horse, named “Miraj,” had died.
It is with the heaviest of hearts and profound sadness that we must report that sweet Miraj has died.
Miraj had fought long and hard to survive, despite the cruel neglect he endured, but the toll of being denied the most basic of care had already taken its toll. Those who grew to love and care for the beleaguered horse took comfort in the fact the Miraj was surrounded by those who cared for him in the end.
The shelter described how the decision was made to let Miraj go:
Our Shelter Manager, Jessica Cameron, was with him at the vet hospital in his final moments. Within a half an hour, he went from being responsive to unresponsive, at which time, all were in agreement with the decision to euthanize him, as his breathing began to be labored.
According to the shelter, Miraj will be buried under trees at the veterinary hospital’s beautiful property, where he quickly became beloved of the staff and caregivers.
A man has been arrested in this sickening case of cruelty – according to the Humane Society, 32-year-old Kenneth D. Corley was arrested on Tuesday. Prior article about this sad case here.

This PUTRID LESS THAN HUMAN really needs at least 8-10 years incarcerated ….. This was a HORRIFIC LIFE and YET this still Beautiful HORSE wanted to LIVE so VERY BAD…. AS the GATES OF HEAVEN OPENED TO LET THIS LOVELY ANIMAL HE was FREE of the TORTURE HE ENDURED>>> NOW the PERSON THAT DELEBERTLY CAUSED HIS PAIN AND SUFFERING NEEDS to BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!
I knew it would take an unmistaken miracle for him to survive. He was just too immaciated. I would give him a body score of 0. I’m thankful he left with an army of angels by his side. It is admirable that the vet is going to lay him to rest on their property. I hope he is grazing in an ocean of emerald pastures beyond heaven’s gate.

Rest in peace Miraj, I’m so sorry help didn’t come in time to save you. I hope those responsible for your condition will be punished, Bless the wonderful people that tried to help.
So sad. RIP sweet Miraj, run free. I’m sorry your human failed you.
Why did this horse have to die evil owners who did not feed him or take care of him how horrible they should be hanged & starved to death I hope they will be punished & die god bless ???? I love you Rest In Peace bg
Rip sweetheart I hope who ever did this is severly punished
BASTARDS!!!!! Rip Miraj. I’m sure people in the surrounding areas knew what was going on!!!!
I knew Miraj would not be able to overcome this. OMG here come the tears,there is just something about the intentional starvation of an animal that particularly tears my heart apart! And yes they have arrested and charged this evil POS but will they REALLY punish him? It is tha lack of any kind of significant punishment that adds insult to injury to all of the many,many animal lovers and animal advocates! We get no comfort in the pain and outrage we feel about a horror like this when there is never any justice for the needless suffering and death inflicted upon a helpless dependent animal. OMG! I’m so so sad! RIP MIRAJ
Poor Baby!!! I hope the Owner of this horse gets the same treatment he gave poor Miraj. Miraj deserved better. RIP BABY!!!!
