The Facts.htm

For them......PLEASE learn. This is FACTUAL. Not an opinion. If you cannot stomach watching the records, how can YOU allow it to continue? YOU have the power to change the world for the horses. SPEAK UP FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT!

Above is a fantastic research about the origin of the ANTI-SLAUGHTER movement for horses!

Trailing of three trucks from the US border to the horse slaughter plant in Jerez, Mexico
The Animalsʼ Angels inspectors follow three trucks loaded with horses from the U.S. boarder all the way to the horse slaughter plant in Jerez, 650 miles away. Two of the trucks have double deck trailers, but the horses are only loaded onto one deck. The third truck has loaded 36 horses onto an open trailer, offering the animals no protection from the elements. The takes the three trucks more than 20 hours to arrive at the plant. One can only imagine the toll this transport takes on the animals, which likely already spent the last week on several different trailers, being transported from states like Ohio or Indiana to the export pens in Texas.

These guys literally follow the trucks and film the nightmares.

Meet Smoky, above, he was RESCUED from a RESCUE. People DO NOT do their due diligence evidently. He is now at Have a Heart Horse Rescue in Mississippi. They are a pending 501c3 and Sheila seriously has her hands FULL with horses just like Smoky. Help them if you can!

These guys fight for the welfare of the horses!

Columbia Basin Equine Rescue : http://www.columbiabasinequinerescue.org/   working right at the forefront, these guys do quick photos and evaluations of the horses as the slaughter truck rolls toward them to load up. 31 of our beloved rescued horses were saved from this feedlot because of the exposure the gang at Columbia Basin gave them. Update July 2009 CBER has dissolved their 501c3 status and operations have changed. No one can imagine the emotional and physical stress involved in horse rescue unless you have walked these miles yourself. The "arm chair" warriors who sit on their collective asses in front of their computers derive great pleasure in creating undue hardship on people who are doing what they never COULD or WOULD. Thank you Samantha for SAVING MORE HORSES THAN ALL THE NATION'S RESCUES PUT TOGETHER ever saved.

Another Chance 4 Horses: http://www.ac4h.com/ These guys have a unique location and they are able to house broker (kill buyer) owned horses on transit between auction and slaughter. We have rescued close to 20 through them.

http://www.wildburrorescue.org/index.html These guys are in Death Valley helping the burros right where they live. Psyllium is important to them. You can have it shipped from Smartpak.com

Equine Guardians is a rescue in Ohio and we manage a sanctuary within their large facility now. They are hard working for the horses and have a noble mission.

Babies like this deserve to live without fear of a foreign butcher

Fact: Few horses are as "unwanted" as the pro slaughter non humans would have you believe. We have lesson and camp horses who are safe and sound. We have horses from foreclosures and horses from divorces. We have horses who simply needed a month or so to rehabilitate. We have horses who wanted to train for a new career. And we have horses here who's owners DIED, their last wish that their horse be CARED FOR, such as Promise:

So please inform the next genius who tells you about how the POOR horses will be STARVING on the side of the road to GET OFF IT and research the facts. How can hundreds of 1-3 month old foals be unwanted if NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THEM. Why were they even taken from their MOTHERS before 6 months? Better question...WHY WERE THEY BRED? They are run through the auctions every spring and summer.

Why would certain breed associations promote slaughter as a kind and necessary euthanasia? Who PROFITS from a non regulated MASS BREEDING business? The largest breed associations. One out of every hundred? foals may go on to be a champion. The others? Well, the tanners are happy to skin them before they are 6 months old. The slaughter houses seek "white meat" from the very youngest "nursing" stock. What is different from the horrifying puppy mills? NOTHING!

A LIVE horse contributes to the ECONOMY. Our little rescue single handedly contributed almost a half a million dollars into this WEAK economy in 2008. Think about it! Our feed stores and all their employees, the vet, the farrier...the landlords; they ALL benefited immensely from our mission as did the horses.

A dead horse brings profit for a foreigner. And dinner for a wealthy European. And heartache for the soul who loved him in America.
