wow i love my life sometimes...
So on April 18th 6 wild horses were slaughtered. Inhumanly and it
caused a HUGE outrage in the horse community... as well as with me
because i love horses. It was a really sad day and a harsh dose of
reality and what is really happening to these horses
Today the Secretary of Interiors office suspended indefinately the sales of ALL wild horses under the Burns Ammendment. This means that they can not be slaughtered now and this is really REALLY good news.
As stated earlier, the Department of the Interior has suspended all sales of wild horses indefinitely.
Here is the rest of the story:
A Native American tribe, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, who had purchased 200 animals from the BLM, exchanged these older animals with younger animals with a horse dealer, whose intent was to send them directly to slaughter. Of the two loads (a total of 87) that were slated to be shipped to the slaughter plant in DeKalb, Illinois, only one (containing 51 animals) actually arrived at the plant. Unfortunately, 35 of those animals were slaughtered before BLM could intervene. The remaining animals from the first load are currently being held safely at the DeKalb plant, and the second load of animals is being held safely at the horse dealer's. Law enforcement has been involved, and BLM will be buying back all of the remaining horses. BLM has spoken to the media so it is likely we will see this on the nightly news tonight. The Department will be making a formal statement sometime tomorrow.
I know most of you dont care but i do and i think that you should care what happens to animals too.
Watch this Video
this video shows how animals are slaughtered when they go to slaughterhouses its really kind of graphic so if you cant handle things like that i think it might not be a good idea to watch it. but i do think it is a good idea to watch because it may open your eyes to why people are so outraged about the way our animals are treated, and about the way our wild horses, which are part of our countrie's history and heritage, are being treated.
H.R. 297 and S. 576 still need your voice, to ensure that the Burns Amendment be reversed for good.
These are the bills that need to be passed so write to your senators expressing you feelings and thoughts on this subject and help save our horses please. every voice makes a difference it really does.
