Target: Mr. Angelo Mondragon, State’s Attorney for Cavalier County, North Dakota, United States
Goal: Ensure a thorough investigation and prosecution of Mr. Mark Nordin for charges related to animal neglect involving three horses in Walhalla, North Dakota.
A deeply concerning case of animal neglect has surfaced in Walhalla, North Dakota. Mr. Mark Nordin, a resident of rural Walhalla, is facing charges related to the neglect of three horses that he owns. This alleged neglect spans a significant period, from November 2019 to May 2023.
According to court documents obtained by WDAY, Cavalier County deputies have conducted seven investigations into Mr. Nordin and his animals since 2019. During five of these occasions, the deputies reportedly discovered that the three horses had no access to food or water, indicating a severe lack of care and disregard for their well-being.
Animal neglect is an egregious violation of ethical standards and a matter of great concern for the welfare of animals. Horses, as sentient beings, depend on humans for their basic needs, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure their proper care and protection. Demand action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Angelo Mondragon,
We, the undersigned, are writing to express our profound concern and demand immediate action regarding the distressing case of animal neglect in Walhalla, North Dakota. It has come to our attention that Mr. Mark Nordin, a resident of rural Walhalla, is facing charges related to the neglect of three horses under his care.
The alleged neglect of these horses, spanning from November 2019 to May 2023, is deeply troubling. Animals depend on humans for their well-being, and neglecting their basic needs, such as access to food and water, is both inhumane and unlawful.
We urge you, as the State’s Attorney for Cavalier County, to take decisive action in this case. It is imperative to conduct a thorough investigation to gather all available evidence, interview witnesses, and establish the facts surrounding the alleged neglect. If Mr. Nordin is found guilty, we demand that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, ensuring that justice is served for the mistreated horses.
Animal neglect cases not only harm the individual animals involved but also reflect a disregard for the principles of compassion, responsibility, and respect for living beings. By pursuing this case diligently and seeking appropriate legal consequences, you will send a strong message that such acts of neglect and cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated in our community.
We implore you to prioritize the well-being of these horses and act as their advocates, representing their voice in the pursuit of justice. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that animals are protected from neglect and cruelty, upholding the values of compassion and empathy.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

There is no excuse for starving animals, not allowing them to drink water, and probably all the while having them fenced inside a contained space. The toper is the amount of time … 3 years!!!
This man probably lived on the same land, but I don’t know that for fact. This man should be served at least 3 years in prison just as he let this same time be torture for his horses. Animal laws in this country are too varied and much too soft. States have their own values and laws but all are insufficient. You either poop or get off the pot!!! If people suspect there will be no hell to pay then they will do whatever torture they please. If they know it’s their butts on the line they may think twice. This needs to be a felon with appropriate PUNISHMENT.
Strict fine – prosecute- put in prison – no contact with animals for life!! Sell or give the horses to a good horse person for care to save their lives!!
They are in a Great home and great hands!
This a$$h0le should be put in jail and fed barely anything for 3 yrs so he can be tortured for the same length of time and then be starved to death!!! There’s no excuse for doing this and the idiot deputies that completed 7 “investigations” should be fired and also be starved for 3 yrs in prison!! They are corrupt and don’t deserve to live!! WIPE all of these evil losers off the planet otherwise this will never end!! STOP ALLOWING ANIMAL ABUSE TO CONTINUE WITH NO REAL JUSTICE!! ANIMAL LIVES MATTER!!! I HOPE Karma will torture and kill all of them!!!
this “asshole” ain’t no asshole that is my dad and i can assure you my dad would never do anything to hurt our horses you should be ashamed for telling lies i have plenty of proof they’ve been taken care of for years these horses are everything to me i’d be lost without them i’m with them almost every other day and give them feed whenever i see them there on 69 ancers of grass to eat they have hay bales still from last winter and a coulie and we fill a tub up with water almost everytime we see them
See I love animals I do and I have worked in an animals shelter and I can tell you right now I have been to their farm I am friends with his kids and those horses had plenty of freedom, love, food, water, etc. so I hope you end up poor and starve yourself. And I honestly if I find out you did I die I will go piss on your grave🙄😘
there’s no starving animals and they have plenty of water they have a whole coulie in there pasture and a tub of water we fill up almost everytime we see them they’ve always got plenty of hay in the winters and again a tub of water in the winters too yes starving animals is no excuse for anything but these horses haven’t been starved a day in there life with us kinda hard to starve them with 69 ancers of grass in there belly
Please, this scum has been found guilty of neglecting and harming his animals for years. Why is he still allowed to keep them and no drastic actions taken against him? Clearly he has no compassion for animals!
actually you don’t know what your talking about that’s my dad and i have plenty of pictures and proof of these horses being taken care of for years he’s raised me to respect animals and i assure you he’d never do anything to hurt them we see them almost every other day and always give them feed whenever we see them a house fire relocated us so it’s been hard we’re a ways away but we’re still there every chance we get
The reason why this “scum” still has his horses cause he never hurt them horses. Think about it if he was hurting them horses they would have been taken a while go honey
Seven investigations and absolutely no accountability or charges in 3 years? Just hang out a sign: North Dakota encourages animal abuse and you can get away with all sorts of felony abuse in this lovely state! Do your jobs, instead of enabling abusers lock them up, fine them, make them pay animal rehab costs, make abusing an animal actually matter. Not that I think justice will prevail here, but they could at least pretend to try.
have you seen these horses? do you know what your talking about? Cause i’ve seen them there in beautiful shape i have plenty of pictures and proof if there was a problem with the horses not looking heathy the cops would’ve already charged him
Sorry not sorry but you can shut the fuck up and I say that in the most disrespectful way ever!! They haven’t even had court yet? And you in here when it hasn’t even been proven weather he is guilty or not. Which I will proudly and honestly say he is not guilty for hurting them animals. So Joanne🙄 you can shut your fucking mouth until you know what is even going on.
these horses have plenty of water it’s all lies they wouldn’t be there that many years with no water or food? me and my dad have been there taking care of them every other day they’ve always had hay and plenty of water in the winters we give them feed almost everyday there coulies in there pasture in the summers and also tubs of water i’ve been working on one and have been riding it around i have plenty of pictures and proof i’ve grown up with horses my whole life i love these horses to death and assure you i wouldn’t do anything to hurt them and neither would Mark we have had problems with fences from a stud we sold last year it’s been a hard winter and one colt learned how to crawl fences from that stud
Okay to all you lil stupid ass bitches listen up!!! And you know who you are! You got a problem with mark hit my line I’m always up for an argument! I have known mark nordin for the longest time and I went to school with his kids. They are great people the internet lies they had alot happen that has nothing to do with you strange ass people and you on you here commenting shit about him that you know nothing about back the fuck up. You read something but never even heard the man speak yet, y’all are fucking accusing this man of something that is so false I went to there farm all the time and those horses were as healthy just as any other healthy horse I helped feed them and I watched them ride them horses and I even got the chance to ride them plenty of times! I am a witness of how great this man had taken care of his horses. They had some problems after a horrible incident and had to move away with him taking care of his kids getting older and trying to pay for everything by himself. So y’all can back the fuck up. The family that had turned them in had done illegal things as well as going on to there property without permission and taking land markers and moving them so they could have more farm land. PATHETIC!! Seriously. He is doing everything in his power right now. You guys all up in this when they haven’t even had court yet. You are wishing him for death when he has family and kids seriously go get a life just because you old ass people have nothing do to with your lives stay or if his because your miserable stop trying to make his life miserable when all he has been doing is trying and i know you parents know how it is.
