Seems that no matter what laws are passed, someone finds a way around it. We have to get this stopped.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236893256961003498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-81603307342499111362008-09-22T07:14:00.000-07:002008-09-22T07:14:00.000-07:00Thank you for posting this story.

And many more don't realize that it is NOT humane euthanasia. They also don't know anything about how these horses are transported.<BR/><BR/>People must take their heads out of the sand and face the ugly truth. Only then will we end this horror.<BR/><BR/>Shelley Abrams<BR/>Americans Against Horse SlaughterShelleyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787450616339155685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-54592771179768700842008-09-22T05:51:00.000-07:002008-09-22T05:51:00.000-07:00I'm a horsewoman with near 40 years in the horse r...I'm a horsewoman with near 40 years in the horse racing industry. A retired jockey, I've made a very good living for a good many years which was provided me by the wonderful horses that I dearly do love with all that I am. <BR/><BR/>I'm someone who owes every real happiness I've ever known in this life to the horses! What a betrayal it truly is to send even one horse to a slaughter house. <BR/><BR/>I've seen these death houses up close and it's not anything close to humane euthanasia! And I don't care how many Vets from the AVMA say it is! I've heard the horses screaming, I've seen them terrorized, I've smelled those rivers of blood! It's barbaric, and that's even understated!!<BR/><BR/>Owners need to step up, and take responsibility for the horses they breed in this industry. If you can't afford to have a Vet come out and humanely euthanize by lethal injection, then you shouldn't ever own a horse! They weren't put here for our abuses! We haven't the right to send these creatures to a horrible death after years of service to us! <BR/><BR/>Please take responsibility for your own messes! If you don't want them, and can't find them forever homes, then be kind and call a Vet to humanely put the horse down. It'll cost about a month's board for Vet and disposal service. There aren't unwanted horses, only irresponsible people! Wake up ya'll Slaughter is wrong, it's pure evil! You should know this already! Slaughter should have never been an option in this country. We don't eat horses in the U.S.A.!! Let this horror end!!<BR/><BR/>(jock4hire)lj hearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606949254506257128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-79376829128036395822008-09-22T05:29:00.000-07:002008-09-22T05:29:00.000-07:00Thank you for posting this story!I am always amaze...Thank you for posting this story!<BR/><BR/>I am always amazed at the callousness of people and the way in which animals are treated.<BR/><BR/>Please keep up the great work of keeping us informed! <BR/><BR/>Jo Deibel<BR/>Angel Acres Horse Haven RescueJo Deibelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726083490762162751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-81566083082600961222008-09-22T03:33:00.000-07:002008-09-22T03:33:00.000-07:00Although there are many horse rescue agencies, the...Although there are many horse rescue agencies, the fact is that they do not initiate to meet the needs of the huge number of unwanted horses. Because of the excessive amounts of breeding 93% of the 100,000 horses being slaughtered every year are perfectly healthy, but the truth is the United States is over populated with <A HREF="http://www.sponsorahorse.org" REL="nofollow">Equine animals.</A>horse rescuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774625974472472955noreply@blogger.com
