Adam Hollingsworth, known as the Dreadhead Cowboy, rode his horse “Nunu” approximately seven miles down the Dan Ryan Expressway during rush hour in Chicago, Ill. on Monday, claiming the protest was to bring attention to “Kids Lives Matter.”
According to abc7chicago.com, Hollingsworth is facing aggravated animal cruelty charges. Nunu was taken in by Chicago's Animal Care and Control after Monday's ride, and has since been transferred to the care of an affiliate rescue center. She is receiving care, but is only able to stand for five or ten minutes at a time and may have to be euthanized as a result of her condition.
“I love Nunu… She is one of my newer horses. I've had her about three months and we've grown a bond,” Hollingsworth said during a press conference Thursday. “It was very upsetting knowing that I love my horse. When I was hearing everything and I couldn't say nothing, and I had to stand there and just listen to all the lies that have been told on me.”
