Help Save An American Hero

 

       A small update all 4 of my favorite mustangs at kirkland have been placed.

     I am so happy for Ramona that she was able to place her boys in good homes.

Congrats to Star, Storm, Trooper, and Miakoda!! I always hoped to meet all 4 of these boys, but I am okay with not meeting them for I know they are going to be well loved in their new homes!!

 

 

I just wanted everyone to see 2 of the most beautiful horses God ever created!! Storm and Miakoda are Comstock Mustangs. They reside at Kirkland Kreek Farm, the link is to the right. Check out these guys there and other horses that are up for adoption. Just so you know, if Storm or Star are adopted I get visitation rights!!

As I see it this country would not exist without these beautiful noble creatures. The west was won on the backs of horses. George Washington's Horse has had statues made in his honor (Washington's horse was believed to be a Morgan horse, an American breed). The first mail service in this country was brought west through the Pony Express. When our country was in the thick of a depression a little gelding named Seabiscuit raised our grandparents spirits. Horses of today bring joy to the faces of kids and adults alike. They still serve our needs and whims with stedfast loyalty. We should salute these American Heros this July 4th when we celebrate our freedom as a people united on this land that horses helped cultivate..

No Words Really

 Last night I finally looked at video of horses at slaughter. Everything that the slaughter industry says is a lie. I watched as a worker repeatedly shocked a horse to get it in the right position to bolt the horse in the head. He used his bolt gun on the mares neck, shoulder and waved his arms at the panicked animal so she would lift her head and make his job easier. Spokesmen for all three slaughter houses continue to insist that each horse recieves one shock to the skull.....LIE!

I also recently read a quote from a spokesman for the slaughter house that murdered the wild horses. He was quoted as saying that the horse slaughter industry does not want the wild horses for they are not viable meat for human consumption. Again a lie, if this was so the horse dealer would not have been able to sell the wild horses for meat.

A few weeks ago I went to the Cavel website. They only advertise that their meat is used for zoos and private exotic animal owners, again BOLDFACE LIE!!

The Horse Killers will continue to lie to the American public and our government will go along with it for the sake of the all mighty dollar. Proof once again that the horses continue to suffer and die to make this country a better place for us. Only this time it is needless and savage. I am ashamed to call myself part of humanity as long as these type of digusting practices are continued.

It seems to me that the most vulnerable victims are always ignored, whether it is children being abused or animals, we all say how horrifed we are then continue on with our lives. Well I don't want to be guilty if that anymore. I will continue to my letter writing and I will continue to be vocal and speak the real truth.

Even if you are not sure you want to get invloved directly I urge everyone to at least write one letter to your Senator and please check out the rescues that I have links to. Even a $5 donation helps. A dose of dewormer cost on average $8 - $10 and a bale of hay can be as cheap as $2.50, depending on what part the country you are in. Here in Florida a bale of good safe hay costs between $8 to $12.
