The Adventures Of Phonytales! Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!

*




Geez, where oh where to start....Ponytales....Phonytales....

Laurie first walked on the scene of ABR not to long after it's birth, singing praises of herself from the beginning. Naturally it wasn't long before she too decided to become a "rescue" since she found a place where others fed into her....someplace she could feel important....like so many of the other failed rescues that found ABR did.

She walked onto ABR claiming to be a certified vet tech and an equine nutritionist....neither of which turned out to be true.....and still follows suit to this day with half truths and make believe.....but fortunately for her, a vast majority of the FOB's don't have a clue.

I copied the most valuable lines in her posts because of past history, Phonytales has a habit of deleting and "fixing" her posts and web site when people point out the inaccuracies. My own personal comments are those in green........as of right now, everything underlined is clickable and it will take you directly to Laurie's own words.

July 5th, 2007

I am a certified vet tech who has specialized in large animals for 12 years, I also have a degree in Equine Nutrition  (ironically enough, Phonytales also claims in this post "I would rather not be a 501(c)3 rescue"....but since becoming has harped on the fact you should be one to be "legitimate".... )

July 27th, 2007

Not only am I a vet tech but I also have a degree in Equine Nutrition There you go again!

January 2nd, 2008

I did not say that I was a CVT, LVT or RVT (Certified, Licensed or Registered Vet Tech) Sorry sweetie....you did say it, at least twice before you were busted....

I have an Equine Nutritional Consulting Business with MANY very happy clients. Was I enrolled at Cornell University? No. Did I study their curriculum, listen to their lectures, read their notes, and do everything that their students did? Yes. Does that make me an expert or earn me a degree? Most certainly not. Then why lie about it? And where are all these many happy clients? You certainly haven't made any mention of them in years.......and God knows you can't blow your nose without telling someone!


Just another funny....on January 24th 2010 she also claims to have been a "professional trainer" at one time....LMAO....I'd bet my last dollar that is another lie. She's posted videos of herself riding and lunging horses and there isn't anything professional about her! Scary....Yes! Professional, No! Of course you guys remember "Jed" that was so horrid he had to go, yet he did great with someone else......


January 3rd, 2008


This whole post is hilarious....but this is the best LOL of them all.....Which is why I choose to keep my rescue small, and not take in anything that is difficult to manage. That apparently didn't give you enough notoriety with your FOBots!

November 29th, 2009

We try to take in VERY needy rehabs only. Just another 180 folks....nothing new here...

And this thread from November 30th, 2009 is just a frickin HOOT! And this.....LOL.

Oh, and remember her now deceased stallion? Remember her having the web page offering his breeding services and when busted for it she claimed it was "just a joke"....sure it was dear! Unfortunately this is one of those things you can't link to, you had to be around with the posts being on the old ICERs and her immediately deleting the web page....but fugly did do a piece on her and her stallion.....

I could play this game all day of things she said then changed her story or altered it to make the FOB's happy over the years....I think a good majority of you have already caught on though.

So now she's closing....or is she? It's so confusing she doesn't even know what she's doing. God forbid she'd have to pay off the final bills herself for the mess she has created. With 6 less mouths to feed and running her "boarding business" you'd think paying off the mere $3000 she claims to owe a breeze. But why do right when you can stay a 501c3 and still ask for money and have those bills paid for you.

And what happened to this? Posted on ICERs March 26th, 2011....

Lastly I have things going on in my personal life right now that also require my time, and are also the reason for the much needed downsize, unlike others I keep my personal life personal and don't use it to garner support and sympathy.

It didn't take long at all for this 180 to happen! A disgruntled board member makes a post and the full blown pity party begins!

I'm not getting into anything else, but I think it's pretty unfair to tell someone that is fighting a life threatening health condition on top of a health condition that WILL leave them paraylized at some point in their life, that they are whining.


*


No I should not be horseback riding, at all, I shouldn't even be mucking stalls.


But please note that Laurie has no intention of closing her "boarding business"...because she is just fine for that! And the horses are treated like show horses and all :P






*




Again about my motorcycle, it's part of my "bucket list".....I'm going down the list. I won't be getting any better, I'm just hoping not to get worse.




And a clear list for her pity party, which again, she's pretty much done EVERYTHING she has harped on other rescues from doing over the years ;-)



For the record (public record) since I have been being asked questions, this is a list of the reasons why we are trying to close down:
A) Too many horses
B) Not enough money
C) Declining health
D) Volunteer/board member sold house and is moving
E) Board member/contributor resigned
F) Marital Issues
G) Family Issues


Let's discuss F) Marital issues.....hubby was pissed back in 2007 when Laurie only had 8 horses and they were in her own yard at the time.....but she didn't seem to concerned. Why try to make the husband happy when you have so many FOBots to impress!


My husband demanded a divorce a few weeks back. In his words he is tired of taking a back seat to the animals.


Another funny thing is a long time ago, back when the first ICERs was born, Laurie used to email me to share stories of what she had done to other rescues on ABR under false identities. I'm not sure if she thought I was cheeky enough to enjoy her drivel or she was trying to make nice hoping she never popped up on this blog.


I think we can all agree here that I can't stand Debbie from the old Mustang Hearts and wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire....but I also find some of the things Laurie did to her to be some of the most the most unethical crap I've ever seen in my life. I refereed to it as "wicked evil things" over on ICERs.


This thread "Reaching Desperation Status Here" on ICERs pretty much has it all in there. Unfortunately my old computer with all of the saved emails crashed a while back....and while I do believe it's fixable and retrievable, I couldn't wait any longer to do this blog.

If you'll notice within that thread when I accused her of posting AS Debbie's landowner and she told me how wrong I was because the landowner gave her the info to post...of course she calls the land owner a "she" and I only knew and had the email claiming the landowner was a "he"....so she has pretended to be 2 of Debbie's land owners...not just one! LMAO! Busted twice by her own admission!

Her post to Debbie......

Another post saying how it is all true and she IS who she says she is :-P

And her email to me bragging about it.....

"I would be MikeRID...Her landlord is Mike XXXXXXXX in ID...heeheehee"

I did remove his last name out of a tiny bit of respect since Laurie doesn't have any!

Known ID's of Phonytales (off the top of my head since everything was stored on my now crashed computer)....MikeRID, MireID, MaryKSmith....and myself and others that have emailed have a pretty good idea on a ton of other fake ID's....but since I don't have proof....well you know how that goes!

You can find all kinds of back peddling in that thread along with the resent thread she's started "Elephant in the room"...my absolute favorite is where she says:

Full of myself? Yup I am, call it a personality flaw, disorder, whatever, psychiatrist calls it Histrionic Personality...


And when I agree with her she says:


Actually no, I said I had a Histrionic Peronality according to my shrink, not Histrionic Personality Disorder. Ummmm....excuse me? Shrink says you haz it....which is it again? LMAO....and for anyone not familiar with Histrionic Personality Disorder, please google....it fits Laurie to a T!

Remember Tee from Lifelines? That's one of the bad guys Laurie claims "I tried to tell you!!!!!!" when she went down......but wait! Laurie helped a friend of hers get placement for a horse there and even thanked Tee :-P


Seriously, like I said earlier...I could literally play this back peddle game all day with her posts, both resent and over the years....it's never ending! She can't say the same thing twice!

All in all in conclusion, I think this post made on the last blog pretty much sums up my feelings....

I honestly believe her husband is sick of being a single father and working full time, while she's out fulfilling her "fantasy." Who wouldn't want to play with horses all day, in the name of rescue.

You know he's footing the bill on a lot of this. She never spared ANY expense on these horses. Why keep a 3 yr old horse alive that is barely pasture sound? At what cost financially? The expensive surgeries, two three opinions at different clinics. I don't think she budgeted money very well.

I bet hubby put the hammer down and said "enough." Her kids need a mom, Christ, they're young too. You hardly ever hear her mention them.

The health issues I don't buy. She may have some, but she's playing that up as the reason. She's stated she drinks, is overweight (not knocking that but in regard to health), I would think those things would be a lot more detrimental to someone's health than working around the barn. Physical exercise is good for most conditions.

I dunno, it just sounds fishy. She would have been better off not saying so much, but then again, she's always had a problem with that. Every time she stubs her toe she has to post it. She's just an attention whore. Most people I know that are truly good horse people are modest and don't need a pat on the back every time they pound a nail. She doesn't seem to have an ounce of common sense.

And actually there are a lot of good comments under the last blog if you have the time to read them!

And let's make NO mistake....even though these horses are not skin and bones, they are STILL having to be rescued from a rescue. Before it's to late, after it's to late....it makes no difference....horses have been put into a "rescue" situation where they now cannot be properly taken care of.....all while Laurie has had all the time in the world to tell other people how rescuing should be done and putting herself on a pedestal....THAT's what really chaps my ass!

Phonytails also needs to learn that there is life and rescue outside of ABR! Maybe if she had actually tried to run her rescue right and use her board members (notice they all seem pretty disgruntled!) she probably wouldn't be a failure....a liar? Oh hell yes, she'll never give that up!

Ok, CRAP...I really need to stop now....there are just so many tales to tell.....LOL!



*

Oh! Oh! Oh! Do I Get Sainthood Status Too?!?

*


It always amazes me when rescues provide basic care to animals....food, water, farrier care....how they achieve sainthood status. Do these people not realize that this is something most anyone can do? Even a pro slaughter bitch like myself? It really doesn't take more than half a brain.

Listen up FOBots....unless you are dealing with a severely emaciated, crippled animal, all you have to do is feed the damn thing and take care of their feet.

Meet Julio...I've had him for about a month now. This is how he looked when I got him.....(BTW that isn't me in the picture if you feel like you need to pick on something...LMAO)

Now a little of this:

A little of that....

And a whole lot of this:

In ONE session that cost me a mere $50 bucks he's a whole new donkey....

And he's damn near perfect weight now also. And he runs damn near everywhere he goes these days.....LOL.

I can't even count the number of times I've seen "rescues" post similar shit on ABR with pleas and cries for hundreds of dollars to save the critters life. REALLY? Ok, whatever.......Julio thinks they are as full of shit as I do :)

Anyway I was wondering, since I didn't make up some dramatic story, plea for money and expect to be patted on the back, if I also qualify for sainthood status by doing simply what needed to de done......


*

Lotta Catchin' Up!

*


Ah, let me start with Alex....

So it's been a year+ since he cried wolf AGAIN about shutting down ABR. Who was shocked when he announced he would be keeping it? No one.....that's who :) When his book didn't take off like a bat out of hell I suppose he figured he needed to stick around and peddle it as much as he could. Sales don't seem to be going so well. Can't imagine that there wasn't much call for yet another Barbaro book, LOL.

He's asking for sales suggestions on his facebook page....let's see.....

Fire starters

Booster seats

Leveling that unruly couch that's missing a leg

Balancing it on your head for posture

I think the back cover has his face on it....might come in handy for scaring the mice out of the barn


He's so desperate to get the 2000+ books sold and out of his house that when someone asked if they could send him a book and have it signed he replied...(paraphrasing)  "There must be a better way with over 2000 of them sitting in my house".....AKA: Buy another fucking book. I have way to many that aren't selling!

And his latest post has his total disappointing sales......and his announcement he needs the $ from the book sales to finance is other ABR endeavours.....ummmmm Alex, WTF are those? Self promoting yourself?

And he's tired of eating beans on toast....poor guy. Maybe he should hook up with Jim at Tirre Madre and they could split a can O' soup too!

************************************


Don't know if you followed the comments on the last blog or not, but we had a special guest appearance by the one and only BreckNridger. You know....the dude that sits around and dresses up horsies with photoshop on ABR. Mainly Barbaro. I swear until I saw a photo of him I thought he was a teenager......but NOPE! It's a full grown....ummmm, errr.....man?.....doing this. Please have your Depends on when you look at his pic......

He got himself a Dodge Charger with customized "Barbrro" plates. He claims in the comment section that those who are making fun of him are just jealous, LMAO.

Here is a little tip for you Kent......

You saying people are "jealous" of you and your car is like an ugly chick saying "beauty is on the inside". You both know you are full of shit, but you have to say it to make you feel better about yourself :)

Normal people do not go around worshiping a dead horse, the car is not an expensive one that most people cannot afford, and I don't know of anyone personally that wants to go around dressed up like a goofball in their customized lael color sneakers. Sorry dude....your just really, really, really fucking weird! And the video you made of yourself doing the honorary figure 8 for Barbaro in a school parking lot is just down right CREEPY! Run kiddies, RUN!

Did you have problems getting ahold of GregJ? I mean this blog is still up....thought you 2 were shutting it down :) Or did he tell you he already knew about it and has even posted here before....although he didn't act like a 5 year old school girl having a little hissy fit when he did, LMAO.

BreckNridger also left a nice little drawing of a dick, balls and asshole in the comment section along with the claims that many FOB's have sent savory pictures of themselves to him.....not sure what he was trying to prove by that because all it did for myself and others is reaffirm the fact that the FOB's are 11 cookies short of a dozen :)


*

Verna, Verna, Verna......

*



......get off your lazy ass and get a fucking JOB already!

This chick has been on ABR for well over a year with crisis after crisis, excuse after excuse.....

She can't work because she has arthritis, fibromyalgia, and a million other ailments......but she can take care of 3 dogs and a million cats (all unaltered BTW....) and her kids.

She won't take prescription meds because "they are poisonous"......but I'd be more apt to believe the doctors think she's a hypochondriac loon and doesn't need any "meds" besides Prozac, LOL.

Guess what Verna? I have Lupus. I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and a million other ailments. You know how I handle it? Certainly not by whining on the internet trying to get people to pay my bills for me....

After sitting home for 2 years (and being able to AFFORD to do that I might add) and feeling WORSE I went out and got a JOB. I feel BETTER. Having shit wrong with you does NOT give you a free pass to sit on your ass. Working and MOVING around helps more than anything.

So cry to someone who doesn't have a clue....oh, never mind, you are....I forgot you have the FOB's around you, LMAO.

I'm sorry, but there has to be something terribly wrong with someone who can't turn to (or doesn't have) friends and family in a time of crisis.....someone who has to turn to the internet in hopes someone will send them a buck....someone who over a year ago couldn't afford to feed their animals, and still can't to this day....

Why Yes....It IS Cool :)

*



Alex has a blog....well ok, he has many, but let's talk about this one!

Wednesday, October 06, 2010

cool! Greatness and Goodness, Barbaro and his Legacy is currently ranked on page 3 on the search result for Barbaro.

posted by Alex @ 5:39 PM

Well Alex....if you search "Alex Brown Racing" this blog is on page 1 for the search results....LMAO

I'm sorry, but I think that is just hilarious!

cool!



*

OMG, Really? Pass The Frickin Kleenex....

*


Poor Alex needs a hug. Every time someone sends him a less than nice email he has to run crying to his little harem.....which noticeably gets smaller and smaller by the day, LOL.

Alex says:

I do know there are many ppl here who post here but do not like me. it's the reality of running a message board for rescue ppl. cheers, alex

No Alex, it's not the reality of running ABR....It's the reality of someone who has no social skills. It's the realty of someone who has a God complex. It's the reality of someone who takes no responsibility for their actions. It's the reality you have created for yourself.

If I were Alex I would consider myself lucky that I got so little hate mail. Hell if I posted every time someone sent me a nasty gram I'd be updating this blog every day....but then again, I don't need coddled like an infant all the time.....nor do most adults.

Love how Alex put his whiny message in the "Rescue" section of the forum and how he turned around and locked it before someone could tell him what a stupid little Nazi prick he actually is :)

And does anyone want to take bets on whether Alex actually pulls the plug on ABR in the next 6 months? I think he's grown a bit jealous of others trying to take over his gig...he certainly isn't offering any type of hand!

And that's a whole nother deal....a "new" forum...have you guys been following the "
Discussion Board Transition Ideas" thread? How many idiots does it take to slap together a forum? Do they not realize it took Alex and any other human who created a forum about 10 seconds to set one up? Talk about overthinking!!!

There are only about 10 people left who give a rat's ass about a new forum anyway. But if they want to waste their time...I'm cool with that!

Gives the whackaloons something to do I suppose.....

Anyway, I do sincerely wish them the best of luck....God knows it's kind of nice having all the fruit-nuts confined in one place instead of them out running  around!



*

Here Is The Deal...

*


I been asked several times why I don't blog much any more. Well, I never made it a daily thing to begin with, but as I look around ABR I find myself having a hard time of knowing where to start!


You have AC4H charging 2, 3x the amount for kill pen horses as the ones that come from Camelot.

You have "Gabe The Wonder Horse" who's owners have to run illegal internet raffles to have enough money to feed the horse....and I won't even get into the rescue that dropped a pony off in that trash dumpster of a place to keep Gabe company.

You have Tierra Madre still hoarding and killing horses....oh, and he also has an illegal internet raffle going!

You have Alex the Stupid having the FOB's do his research for his book for him instead of him putting the effort in himself. But good news! He just exclaimed he has over 110 photos for his book! Thank God because that cuts down on your own poorly written drivel!

You have horse after horse that was "saved" by FOB's and other good hearted people that get sucked into the "ugly truck" game that keep turning up starved, neglected and dead. Oh SO much better than slaughter!

You have rescue after rescue that keeps getting caught embellishing stories to keep their asses out of the sling.

You have rescue after rescue starving, neglecting and killing horses.

The idiots are running so wild over there these days that there is enough material to blog about for 10 lifetimes....it becomes overwhelming of where to begin!

You have free horses that are being completely ignored while you have people scraping the couches to buy them from the auctions.

You have rescue after rescue stockpiling horses but you have a thread called "Rescues With Adoptable Horses" that is seeing very little action.

You have nutbag after nutbag losing their jobs, homes, husbands, family all because they have no self control and have spent every penny they have "saving" the horses and all their free time merrily bumping away threads.

And as usual, you still have Alex threatening to ban anyone that questions him.

And that is just today's drama, LOL....so you tell me.....where in the fuck would you start?!?


*

My Thank You Card To Alex

*


Thank you Alex....without your forum:

Lifelines would not have been able to scam near as many people for surgeries that were never preformed.

Mustang Heart would have never met the two people who let her live rent free, hoard and neglect horses and ultimately destroy their property.

Tierra Madre would still be living on a cup of soup in a house not filled with thongs and no ability to keep packing 34 and rising horses on less than 3 acres of land.

Fairdinkum would not have been able to kill as many horses.

EPONA wouldn't be able to keep dragging up her dead livestock in hopes to raise a dime.

The Buckaroo Boosters would not have found other nutters to help a poor colt suffer for months.

"Rescue" groups like CBER wouldn't have made near as much money selling their horses.

Jason Menduna would have had less horses to starve and kill and less women to swoon.

The people who run the candle site would have never been relentlessly harasses because the nutters couldn't keep enough candles lit for the Beloved Barbaro.

Several people would still have their homes, jobs and husbands instead of sending every last dime they had to keep horses away from the "ugly truck".

Private horse owners trying to sell animals they own would not have been stalked and harassed at all hours of the day and night.

Wikipedia might still be considered a half ass legitimate source of info.

People would not have been able to worship a dead horse and  pray to God at the same time they were threatening peoples lives.

So many nutters would still be wondering about the internet aimlessly.

Without you this blog along with many other forums that spawned from the screwing and craziness you harbor would not have been able to exist.

Cheers to you Alex!

Oh Happy Day!

Jason Meduna of 3 Strikes ranch has been found guilty of 145 charges of animal abuse  :)

I'm sure if you're lurking about this blog that you know the story...but if not, here is a recap...

Jason used to be the poster boy of the FOB's as a mustang sanctuary. They sang his name and praised his glory and tried to shove every unwanted mustang off at his ranch. You could feel the FOB's warmth between their legs coming right through the computer screen every time they spoke about him...and if there were pictures of the horse killer, well look out, the moans were plenty.

Even when some news started coming out that things might not be the way they seemed, the FOB's stayed a rabid supporter until there was just to much bad to deny.

A handful are still holding on to their dream boy. Now with the guilty charge I'd be interested to know how they look at him now.....

Why push this off and blame the FOB's you ask? Well because if any of them had taken a moment to research the man they were so hot and horny over they would have found out this isn't the first time good ol' Jason has been in over his head. A search of his name would have brought up some court records and they would have immediately seen at the very least lie #1. Jason told people he was 29 which in fact he is 42. I don't know if this was a ploy to keep people off his tracts or he thought he was all that and a bag of chips. I'd say a little of both.

Another thing I don't get (well I really do get it, wink, wink) is that the FOB's are always screaming about how can a rescue have 50, 60, 70, 100+ horses and provide the necessary care for them...but knowing Jason was somewhere around 300 horses, well that didn't seem to bother them a bit. He was a God after all....

I believe I read where sentencing was Feb. 23rd. Burn in hell Jason, burn, burn, burn......

*

Can We Make It Look Like Someone Cares?

*

Back to the numbers game for Alex!

Just a brief summary....Alex is no longer working for Asmussen (which BTW I notice someone edited Asmussens multiple drugging charges off his wiki....)...Alex never said why besides the fact he wants to take some time now to write his Barbaro book, so who knows.

So Alex pops on ABR the other day and makes a post wanting more fans for his book page (gag me). But he knows his little FOBots will work their fingers to the bone to make sure even their dead grandmas and kittens join up.

Again, he doesn't care if these people are really interested in reading his book or not, just like he doesn't care if any of the 3100 horses he claims ABR has saved are now safe or even dead or alive....just as long as those numbers make HIM look good! I mean, who really gives a fuck about facts....right? :)

I have this mental image in my head of a handful of little ol' FOBots that think light shines out of Alex's ass funding all of this "time off from work" journey, LMAO.

*

Ok, so I don't post in the comment section here that much anyway...but some of you have lost me a little on this GregJ. I've seen him around ABR of course, but I don't read the racing threads (unless someone emails me and says "check this shit out!")...so I don't know why he's being drug up over here in the comments so much.

The last thing I saw from him is where he was giving Alex a bit of a challenge.....IMHO if you are over on ABR posting, you are a nutter...but I do have to give a bit of a nutter kudo to anyone who stands up to the "King" :) And I know people reading here have obviously seen stuff out of him I just haven't (because I never followed him) so you'll have to forgive me for being so lost, lol.

*

Here is another real good blog (IMHO :) that I've started following: Meanwhile....Back at the Ranch They get the point across so much better than I do on a lot of stuff. I never claimed to be a writer, lol....no dead horsie book contract for me :(

*

More funnies from the resident ABR pod walkin, talkin head nutter. Think she will ever get a clue? LMAO

*

Ok, so Sue Wallis, a Rep for Wyoming has started a petition "Control the Overpopulation of Wild and Feral Horses".....and the ABR nut jobs are using it as a sounding board. It's frickin hilarious! Some of the comments on there make it so clear what radical nutjobs these people really are.

There's a thread on ABR about this petition and this woman....people have said you can leave your comment without it actually being sent to your reps. Well I disagree :) Because I've copied and pasted their comments along with a link and sent it to every rep and official across the good old USA :) I'm sure that kind of flattery will get them everywhere, LMAO. (of course if you agree and have a second, please sigh it!)

Naturally, as you can find if you surf that thread, someone made a rebuttal against Sue in an article and photoshopped Sue's face to make it look huge and distorted. Classy, huh! Anyway most of the FOB don't realize it was photoshopped and are making fun of her appearance...IMAGINE THAT! "I can't think of anything intelligent to say or even a rebuttal so I'll act like the stupid fucking moron that I am and comment on someones looks" mentality......but who would expect anything more out of that group!

*

Oh - real quick...my email has been down for a little over a week....I didn't really feel like messing with it over the Holidays because I had so much other stuff going on....but I'm back in and will try to get all caught up on replies over the next couple of days.

*

I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas and wishing great thing in this new year!

*

EDITING IN: Just ran across this and they get the full blown, 6 foot "Nutter of the Day, I'm just a waste of airspace" trophy!

I am glad he got cancer and I am glad he is dead. I only hope that he suffered A LOT before he died.

I put a curse on everyone that works there and continues the misery. If this is against what we are supposed to say on here I don't apologize for it and I mean every word I said.

I don't care WHO you are or WHAT or WHO you are referring to....you are a low life piece of worthless shit for even thinking something like this, let alone actually typing it......I do not have to wish for you to rot in hell because God will take care of that himself.....


*

And The Letter H (for hate) Brought To You By.....

*

....Alex Brown Racing!

Yes Alex, stand up and take a bow! Does it make you feel all warm and gushy inside to see the community of haters you have created and the damage you have done to the rescue world?

I hope you realize that ABR and the FOB's have became a pretty common household name now, and not in a good sense. People view your forum and make a judgement call about all rescues across the world in a negative light because of what they see in your little nutter community.

Yep, the rescues on ABR whine about being attacked, stalked and threatened....both good and bad rescues have suffered the wrath.

But do take your bow Alex, because NONE of this would have been possible without you :)

I also have to lay some blame here on the Jacksons....if they had any sense they would have shut you down by now instead of encouraging you to continue on by giving you permission to write your little Barbaro book and allowing all this madness to continue in Barbaro's name...amen....LOL!

Here is a great read...gets pretty exciting towards the end and shows the mob mentality Alex has created....

It must be nice to live like a vagabond, take refuge in other countries and not even have a home address where someone can hunt you down with legal documents to put an end to your insane asylum....you got this one all figured out :)

*

Ok, Someone Give Me The Low Down...

*



I've been watching EPONA Horse Rescue in NE for quite some time now....by her rantings on ABR over the years she definitely hits nutter status in my book.

But here lately she's been claiming she has been receiving threatening emails and phone calls from the FOB's. I do not agree with anyone who sees the need to do that! They are scum!

But she does it in a way that makes it seem unbelievable and like it gives her an excuse not to answer questions and be open. I personally think it's BS and it's all in her mind to try to gather sympathy, she will never give anyone proof and hasn't said anything about contacting the authorities....

She's admitted on ABR to having hoarding tendencies and she just got her first horse about 5 years ago then later decided to become the all important rescue...the numbers quickly increased to over 70 at one time. She uses big words that she has no idea what they mean to try to impress people. There is always some kind of big secret only she knows about.

It's quite ridiculous really. It appears just about everyone is onto her though because the "river of funds" has damn near went dry. The only people you see on her threads anymore are either calling her out or the regular nutters who support anything and everything.

So what's your take on EPONA? I'd love for some proof to show up in my inbox that this woman is getting either fairly or unfairly accused of the things she posts about herself.

Oh, and a little P.S. I am well aware of the nastygrams Lin/EPONA sends out anytime someone brings up her name unless it's to fart rainbows...so before Lin or any of her little minions sends me the standard "I'm gonna sue you for slander!" bullshit form letter....just remember, the burden to prove you are not a nutbag is on you ;-)

How In The Fuck Did I Miss This?

I swear to God I had pickles shooting out my nose this morning reading this loony bin shit! Yeah, pickles for breakfast, you got a problem with that? LOL

It's a freakin nutbag convention. It starts off a bit slow, but read it to the end paying special attention to the manifestos of the OP.

And anyone who follows the FOBots can look at the names responding and...well, that about says it all. It's kinda scary having so many nutters in one thread, LMAO.

All its....
missing
is the
rantings of....
tiresom turlsm
but...
at least she
got an
honorable...
mention.

Seriously Ms. mooch OP spirit name Padme A'Tea who walks & talks with the pods....why don't you go out and get a real fucking job instead of this talk about taking the nut show on the road. You keep hinting for "road show" money, but if no one is going to let you sleep in a tent under the stars with your pussy cat then I seriously doubt you are going to hit the mother load of change for toll booths! 4 months after you started your big journey you haven't even went around the block!

This is one of the most hysterical threads I have read over there in a long time! Please take my warning...do not drink (or eat pickles) while reading!

Oh, and here is a little P.S. for you....you can also find all these nutters over on the Tierra Madre thread singing his glory....surprised? I didn't think so :)

Uh Huh :)

Short & sweet today...just a little good reading ;)


Yep!

You got it!

Awesome! (scroll down to Michael Vick Rides Barbaro)

As Barbaro Turns (in his grave) continued.....

*


So here we are not even with a full 72 hours in yet of Alex's "I'm pretending to listen to you" thread and it's already heading towards my prediction :) He is going to do whatever the hell he wants to do even if people type until their fingers bleed. He came on to pretty much confirm this last night....

A poster came on early in the thread that nailed him and his actions to a T...probably one of the best posts I have read on ABR in 3 years :) I could not have said this any better myself:

Alex, everyone knows you're not going to shut down this board. There's no way that you'll let this board leave the spot light.

What has changed since the thread has been up? Not a damn thing!

Alex has promoted himself on the forum for his blog radio and youtube....but hey, guess what? A long time member of ABR that everyone really liked just passed away...she was one of the most active anti slaughter supporter on the forum. She's spent countless hours on the phone, emailing and faxing our legislators and helped guide others in the fight....but did Alex wander over and share his condolences with the rest of the board? Nope...not one peep out of him.....that my friend, if nothing else, shows you what kind of "compassionate" human being is behind the screen.....

And in my search for something totally unrelated last night I came across this little tidbit from one of the moderators before they were a mod. Looks like the same questions and concerns from 2 years ago that are being voiced now, only I guess since she is Alex's right hand lady it's just not important to get those answers anymore. Just be sure and do not question a rescue she likes otherwise your post will disappear before you hit enter...pick on one she doesn't care for so she can sit silently by and watch the fun, LOL

Well, I think I'll give the subject of this thread a rest now until Alex's "30 days" are up and wait for the big announcement that it's all business as usual :)

Ego Strokin' 101

*



I guess with the recent? "ABR under ATTACK" (per the Board Nazi) that ol' Alex is feeling a little blue and inadequate so he's started a thread asking about the future of ABR. He's even pretending to listen to input from his members....

Here's my prediction of how things will go down....all of Alex's regular little panty throwers will chime in and pump the old chap up, a couple of people will have the balls to actually challenge the Nazi and most of the regulars won't even bother to respond because the like the idea of ABR but lost respect for Alex years ago....and the outcome will be Alex doing whatever the hell he wants to anyway ;)

I really considered getting an ID over in FOBville today and posting my thoughts on the matter, but I knew if a miracle happened and the post was allowed to stay that I'd never forgive myself for having my say under an alias....so here we are :)

Alex, ask yourself "what have I accomplished in the last 3 years on ABR" and look into the mirror and see the cold hard facts. You have created a community of mob mentality, liars, thieves, scammers, domestic terrorists, horse killers and felons and made it possible for them to all congregate in one place. All of the "sane" people left your ass in the dirt a long time ago.

You have also created a community of people going into dire straights financially because they don't have enough sense (until it's to late) to realize they are chasing some kind of twisted pipe dream.

Don't you have an ounce of guilt, any remorse or shame when people say they will miss meals, send money when they get their social security or disability checks, not pay a bill, and take away from their families all in the name of thinking they are saving a horse? Does it not pain you to look around your house and see all the people that are now hurting because of your little science project?

You have 2 moderators that do absolutely nothing and one who spends most of her time covering her own tracks. You'r FOBots (thanks ICERob :) and you claim to have saved 3100 horses but I'd bet you a steak dinner (or hell how about something you can relate to...drinks on the house!) if you could find 1,000 of those horses now. Wait, I'd settle for 500 ;) From the looks around ABR these days it looks like you keep saving the same ones over and over!

ABR has done nothing except cast a dark shadow on legitimate rescues. I bet the number of people that you and your FOB's have totally soured on rescues all together far super exceeds the number of horses you claim to have saved.

Hell you have a married nutbag trying on thongs and sending them to the "token male" rescue filled with money. Legitimate rescues everywhere crawl in their skin when the name Alex Brown is brought up.

ABR has lowered the standard in horse care 101. Your members spend most of their lives begging for the next bale of hay while they are making shipping arrangements to have more horses sent to them. Rescues post pictures of horses standing in lots that look like junk yards, packed in like sardines.....but then if anyone should dare say something the FOBots come along and try to convince everyone that not even basic care and knowledge is as bad as slaughter.

Countless threads have been devoted to tearing people apart, people who do not even participate on the forum, people who the FOB’s know nothing about. But they don’t like their opinion on something or maybe the way they list a horse on craigslist….so lets just rip everyone a new asshole even though they are clueless....but then Alex pouts when you question him ;)

I have to wonder if the FOB’s realize how really fucking stupid they are. They flag craigslist ad’s they do not like therefore decreasing the chance for exposure to get the horse out of the situation they do not like. Man, do I have a sign for you guys…..

If you want to look at things realistically, ABR has not saved one single horse....that's the biggest scam ABR and Alex has ran so far. Each and every horse that has been purchased at auction has only been replaced with another. Slaughter numbers have GROWN, not decreased over the last year. You guys have saved NOTHING! But you guys sure have killed a lot of horses "rescuing" them :(

Alex, your forum “managing” skills SUCK. I mean BIG TIME. You ban people who question you or your livelihood (we'll get to that in a bit ;) but allow people who are totally off their rocker to stay.

I also think Alex is from the school of "any publicity is good publicity"...as long as he gets him name out there is all that matters to him. He wants to make a name for himself so bad that he'll even except a bad name. Why do you think Alex requires rescues to have the all important WIKI? It certainly doesn't prevent fraud....with a WIKI all things come back to Alex Brown....he can watch his name crawl through the ranks of Google and finally feel a little important.

Now lets get to that livelihood that keeps Alex with his ban paddle handy should anyone question it :)

The FACTS are that of the approximate 9 million horses in the USA, 7 million of those are in the racing industry. The racing industry, just because of sheer numbers participating alone, is responsible for the majority of death related injuries, illegal drug, over drugging, unethical sportsmanship and overall abuse.

Alex's boss, Steve Asmussen, is one of those real dandy's of the racing world. It's hypocritical (not to mention comical!) that Alex tries to preach what he does with the close company he keeps. Most see through it...to many don't.

I often wonder if the husbands of the panty throwers would buy Alex a drink if they could. The craziness runs so rapid around ABR that I'm sure the husbands are thrilled to have their wives off their backs so they can pursue a normal life and maybe an affair or two :)

Do I think ABR has ran it's course? HELL YES I DO! I think you would be doing everyone a huge service and save a lot of people a lot of pain if you gracefully bowed out now before it gets even worse. Heck, you can't even deny the big changes that have been going on around ABR for some time now.

As for the rest of ABR....well if Alex wants to keep his name in some lights and do his little racing updates and keep a few panty throwers around, then so be it. There are a lot of nuts on the internet, it's not like he won't still fit in....But for the love of God, ditch the forum before ABR ruins even more lives and kills more horses!

Aren’t you, Alex, getting a little tired of riding on the coat tails of Barbaro yet? I think ABR's biggest accomplished is disgracing this horses name….every time real horse people think or hear of Barbaro now all they think of is you and your mighty band of wackadoodles…..

Yes, I do feel much better now....thankyouverymuch :)

Livin' On Coffee & Can of Soup & Someone Elses Money

*

Anyway that's what Jim of Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary comes right out and claims...

Lets take a look at a rescue that houses just under 30 horses on a bit less than 3 acres, doesn't let a day go by without suggesting people need to send him money, claims no one can care for horses the way he can, claims to live off of coffee and sometimes a half can of soup to survive and always has some kind of tragedy going on....Oh, and the horses ONLY check in....they never check out.

Yep, just like prisoners on death row. Once the horses come to Tierra Madre they are there for life. Jim claims no one can give them the kind of care he can. Which would be all fine and dandy if he could afford those horses that are now "his"...but he can't. Hell he can't even afford to eat by his own admission.

He is very good at creative writing....all those years as a writer have really paid off. He can make an old lady wet herself like no other...sell an Eskimo ice and most important, use is creative writing style to gain the all important dough it takes to finance his personal herd of horses.

At just under 3 acres Jim claims he can house up to 30 horses and normally runs just below that. It's amusing to read Jim blog about building new pens for the horses and how the latest one was HUGE! Yes, HUGE!!!! Measuring almost 30' x 30'! OMG!

Jim posts several times a day on ABR....you never know what kinds of goodies will roll off his fingers. Just over a month ago Jim makes a post telling everyone he's sick and BROKE. This is pretty typical, it seems he gets into a bind quite often and makes these kind of posts. It works for him....the lonely housewives of ABR wet themselves to see how quick they can send him some more money.

But this day was different. Shortly after claiming to be broke Jim gets a phone call.....someone has asked him to take another horse and they want $700 for it....so a new thread is born! Help bring "Coloreado" to Tierra Madre! WOW, a lot can change in 8 hours I guess! Maybe he won the lotto? Oh, no...never mind, he's asking the lonely housewives to foot the whole bill and shipping too of course....imagine that :)

You would think that a group of people who profess to be advocates for horse welfare would not shit a pile of money to go send a horse off to go live with someone who is always broke...but were not talking normal people here...we're talking FOB's.

So Jim's "I'm broke" tears are quickly dried with a new horse.

Just a handful of days ago a thread called "Famous TB Smokey Stover needs a HOME" pops up....yep, only 14 replies into the post there is Jim...."We'll be more than glad to give Smokey a forever home - but can only do it if the $600 & shipping costs can be raised."

What made this so priceless? A few friends and I had been chatting when the thread started up and wondered how long before Jim would bebop over to try to capitalize on this "famous" horse. See, he likes to get hold of the ones that have some sort of notoriety....it makes it easier for those poor me, send me cash posts.

Seems a few are onto Jim and the good old "they only check in, they never check out" ways and aren't overly thrilled with 30 horses being crammed on less than 3 acres. They thought this guy deserved a real pasture and someplace he could actually run and not have to stop every few feet to turn around so he didn't smack into his prison cell.

Of course this didn't make Jim happy...not happy at all. He whined and cried around on that thread and also on his daily check in thread....he wanted his little group of lonely housewives to go over to Smokey's thread and tell everyone he needed to go to Jim's place....whaaaaaa, whaaaaaa, whaaaa.....Still didn't work out for the ol' boy...he claimed he was out politicked by people he didn't know....yeah, couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that some people didn't think the horse deserved to go to prison. So Jim makes one of his famous "no one could care for him the way I could have" posts....gag me...

Oh. and the lonely housewives tried to dry his tears with yet another horse...but Jim didn't seem to interested...not "famous" enough I suppose...... :)

One last piece of information....per Jim, if you don't like Obama then you are a racist, LMAO! He loves to spurt his political views...alienating one conservative at a time :)

I'd lay money on the fact that there will not be a good outcome for theses horses down the road.....

If You Are Going To Scam Someone....

*

.....at least pretend you're legitimate, LOL!

Yes, from the Board Nazi....a big announcement!

Because we all know that someone with a Wiki would NEVER hose anyone out of dough ;)

Lifelines
CBER
PEC
Mustang Hearts

Just to name a few of the rescues ABR and the FOB's have supported......

Didn't they all have a Wiki too?

I mean ABR already supports enough illegal activities such as PayPal fraud and domestic terrorism, why would a wiki, that anyone can make or make up, have any bearing on anything? Ahhhhhh......I guess it's good to be king :)

Dumbest Shit I Have Read Today

*


Ok, so I suppose everyone who might be reading this already knows about "Cloud" the wild mustang and the round up that the horsie huggers have been trying to stop (and thank God have failed at so far)....

I don't think a one of those people realize that horses of any type, are NOT native to America. If I read one more time how they have "always been here" or "roamed free for thousands of years" I am going to hurl. And you would think someone like Madeleine Pickens would be smart enough to know fact from fiction....but she thinks they are our "National Heritage" too.

Of course the ABR nutbags are all out in full swing....If this poster was any dumber she wouldn't even have the IQ of a turnip!


40707.6 in reply to 40707.1
OK - worse case scenerio ... if this does go as planned - won't the horses go up for auction? Can't we have people there to buy the horses and then turn around and set them free again as soon as they get them away from the auction sight?

And don't you just love the ones who think HUMANS should be killed because they want to control the horse population? It's especially entertaining when they use God in those messages....

I pray the helicopters crash and the BLM drives themselves off of cliffs. Sorry. That is how I feel. I have no compassion for man as a species.

Dear God protect your herd from the DEVIL.

Some mares will be sterilized, some of the older crippled ones put down, some will go up for adoption and some will be released back.......OH THE HORROR! There are several people over on ABR having a cow because they are going to sterilize the mares....

What gives these phonies ......... these idiots the right to "sterilize" the mares ?

Lets just leave them all alone, let them breed like rabbits and take over the world....would that make you happy? Wait, don't answer that.....these people are just dumb enough to love that idea....

Goat Update :)

*


Due to an anonymous donor the goats have been saved from the ugly truck! YAY!

One problem though...the person that took them on already has to may goats to feed...they have been begging all over the internet for food and basic care for their babies.

So now we need to pony up some cash and pay the owner to take care of these animals they chose to take on.

Oh! And let's not forget about the 2 months quarantine! It costs so much more than regular care you know. $300 per goat for 2 months ought to cover it...

Feed, vet, dewormer will need to be paid by someone else for life!

Let's set a goal amount of $5000!

Sorry, I don't know how to add orbs or glitter to the pictures of the goats....I hope that doesn't hurt their fundraising!

Remember....NO GOAT LEFT BEHIND!!!!!!!

(these goats found a great home where they will be spoiled and all their needs will be taken care of by the new owner :)


*

GOATS HAVE UNTIL 6/15 OR THEY WILL DIE!

*


Come on, we can do it! Let's save these 4 sweet precious little goats! They are headed to the auction if good homes cannot be found! And we all know what will happen to them if they end up there!



Ransom: $50 each = $200






Aren't these sweet precious little goats worth as much as a horses life? We can arrange shipping! They shouldn't cost more than $500-600 each to have them sipped across the country!



The ugly truck is on it's way!



Don't let the blood of these precious little babies be on your hands!



Can't we save them in the God like name of Barbaro?



BUMP!



(These goats are really for sale in central Illinois...email me if interested )


*

Hey Hay?!?

*

Ok, so I've bitched before about the ABRites turning lose their dough to buy horses when someone screams "ugly truck" but clamming their wallets up when ask to actually feed and care for the horses they are enabling these so called rescues to take on.

It's pretty depressing to read all the threads where a rescues are begging for hay, set a goal of lets say $1000 with 20, 30, 40...head of horses on the property and after a month they have raised like $200 bucks.

So my question is, how are these horses eating? Are they starving while they are waiting for the next person to throw $20 at them so 40 horses can split 5 bales of hay? Are the rescues coming up with the hay on their own by actually paying for it themselves yet keep begging?

This is one of the scariest things I see with these rescues. Especially since so many horses have had to be rescued from their rescuers "All for the love of Barbaro".

I'm suppose to be the no good dirty rotten bitch who should burn in hell for thinking slaughter is OK....but you know what? I have never in my life had 1 report filed against me, my horses have never missed a meal, their feet, teeth and shots are all current, they have a great barn, a nice safe lot without a bunch of junk shit it in and want for nothing (well, ok, Bo is a little pissed since I put his fat ass on a diet :)......and guess what? I pay for every fucking dime of it myself and would never dream of it being any other way....but I'm the one that sucks? LMAO

Oh, BTW, I abuse ALL my animals...not just the horses, LOL

*

Take Two

*

I think it's time for me to take a new turn (mixed with some of the old) with this blog. I've had the hardest time posting......by the time I read all of the shit on ABR my brain is just so jumbled with the fucktards and their leader that I don't even know where to begin or what to say. So I'm going to try this bit and blog for me for a while and throw in bits and pieces of craziness with each post.

I guess I'll start that with the next blog though...today I'm going to play a bit of catch up :)

First, let's relive Mustang Hearts for a minute. If you're not familiar with this so called rescue and the nut bag who runs it start here and then a little more catch up reading for you. This woman is scary off her rocker!

Pretty much everything people feared (well the ones who didn't wear those funny colored glasses) came true a few months ago...Her latest savior had to quit funding her hoarding habits and Debbie life took another crazy twisted turn. Mustang Hearts is no longer....that's the good news!

Now the bad news....A handful of the horses went to smaller rescues but she sent 30+ to a place called Orphan Acres that already had 60-70 horses. Not only did she send the horses there but he also took in her lazy filthy ass to "help out". Naturally that didn't last more than a few weeks. Tempers flared, fists flew and Debbie was once again out on her ass.

But for some reason, NOW that OA won't have anything to do with the nutbag they are the root of all evil and she's going balls to the wall trying to get him shut down. She claims horses are dying and starving to death.

Now before I go any further I'll give my opinion on OA. From the web site it looks like a shit hole. I would never send a horse there for any reason. But for Debbie it was the answer to all of her prayers...another place for her and her horses to live for free while it lasted. All I am thankful for is that she signed all of the horses over to him so when she went out on her ass the horses didn't go with. While the place is as big of a shit hole as Debbie's places always became, at least OA has been in one spot for 30+ years and not totally reliant on the dime of others and constantly shuffling from place to place.

I don't think OA has any business trying to manage the amount of horses that they do but this was Debbie's choice. She declined all sorts of offers from other smaller rescues to get these horses where they are now and then bitches and cries about the neglect and abuse they are alledgelly enduring.

Debbie has it in her mind that this is not her fault, she is once again a victim. I just have one thing to say to her...

Hey Debbie you fucking crazy ass nutbag loser-YOU put the horses there. No one but YOU! If horses are dying and starving to death it is YOUR fault. No one else's! See what happens when you cry wolf one to many times, no one except for a handful of other nutbags believe your shit! YOU are the cause of ALL of this drama! Sleep on that for a while!

*

It seems like the handful of rescues that are left on ABR are all at each others throats. Competition for the few dollars that remain there is my guess. The Board Nazi doesn't even show up much these days unless it's to promote his latest blog entry or to ban someone.

I had to laugh...the other day one rescue was going after another. The rescue throwing the venom was also posting on ICERS and had posted they and Alex were emailing and they were getting banned. So yeah, t happened...the rescue gets banned. Some people weren't happy and made it known. Alex pops back on and posts "XXXX was banned by mistake" and walla, they are back on. Way not to put any blame on yourself Alex! After all it wasn't YOU who made the mistake, huh? LMAO. Little man, big ego is perfect and cannot personally take the blame for mistakes I suppose......

*

This morning with my first cup of coffee I read where a horse has been down for hours and it wasn't the first time. The horse is 30ish years old. Of course everyone is wishing the horse well and a few posts down I read "I know that feeling I had it for two yrs with my first horse that lived to be 38. For two yrs we would lift him to his feet because his back legs were not stong enough to push himself up".......that's some real quality life there losers! I am so glad I'm not a rescue so I can make horses endure more pain and suffering at the hand of so called saviors than they ever could at a slaughter plant! Most of these people have no business owning a frog, let alone a horse....

*

Congratulations Alex Brown Racing!

*

WOOT! 1 Million posts! What an amazing announcement!

Now take away:

All the "BUMP" posts...

The posts with nutbags talking like horses....alive and dead...

All the cute and glittery pictures of Barbaro...

The random .gif's thrown in that have nothing to do with anything...

The idle completely off topic chitter chatter...

And what? That leaves you with about 10 meaningful posts, LMAO. Congrats again! What an acomplishment :)

*

Now What?

*

Whenever horse slaughter is brought up I always ask where the love for the cows and chickens are....I am normally greeted with the weak argument that horses are so much more intelligent and cows and other animals just can't be trained the way horses are.

So lets take a looksie shall we, on just how dumb the food on our plate looks....





Google "show jumping cow in Switzerland"....it's real. Along with some of these other fine moo moo's:

A girl and her cow...

A whole group dedicated to riding cows :)

Another cow enthusiast.....

Poor stupid little chickens. There are a lot of different video of trained chickens on the net, Google.

Pigs are highly intelligent animals. I don't think that needs to be argued, but here is a video anyway :)

And for fucks sake PUT AWAY THE MOUSE TRAP!!!! Yes, I know we don't eat them...but they are obviously highly intelligent and should be left alone to dominate the world!

Am I getting my point across here or not...

But, but, but....your a vegan you say? Well good for you but I'm not, neither are most Americans. Why is it when the anti horse slaughter activests are questioned about there intentions they alway assure us they are NOT after our beef or other critters we enjoy eating so much....BUT.....there are always several threads within their forum comunities praising Veganism and how everyone should be doing it? Huh, what the fuck is up with that?

*

Business As Usual

*

Even after all of the scams have came to light on ABR, with the latest one being the biggest yet, it's still business as usual over there.

How can someone who has never seen a facility or met someone in person put their name behind them? Sing their praises?

SINCE Lifelines, I have seen people raise questions.....someone else jump in and tell everyone what a fine rescue so and so is, they are on the up and up and people are mean and evil fools for questioning them....yet on 3 occasions I have private emailed the "supporters" and ask very nicely "Have you been to this facility or met the people in charge" and all 3 times I have been responded to with "Well, no, BUT......". Sorry folks, that makes NO fucking sense!

We've all seen lately where pretty pictures and nice stories have done for the rescue world via internet.....

Here's a post from the dear moderator that supported Lifelines so much. It was made before she became a moderator, but here she is supporting another POS rescue.....with an attitude like this I see exactly why the Board Nazi chose her......an exert:

I don't know about others but I am just so damn sick and tired of seeing these attacks against rescues. Do people have NOTHING better to do than to think of ways to try to discredit and attack rescues?

All I have to say is GET A LIFE, and SHAME SHAME On you..

*

Nut Bags & Whackjobs

*

First, a little continuance from the previous blog and a rescue called Lifelines....If you haven't read the comments section for the previous blog, you really should. There's some damn good investigation going on there!

Wouldn't you think that the FOB's would want to insure this not happening again? To be scammed out of thousands of dollars? Nope, cover up is all their concerned about. There afraid they'll come off looking like nut jobs (here's a hint: TO FUCKING LATE :)...

30628.998
The only thing I'd like to say is that someone suggested bringing the media in to publicize the story and all the people involved with LL.
I don't think that's a good idea, but some of you may feel otherwise. As bona fide rescues, we don't need any more public skepticism about our credibility. If the story got out on LL, I think it would damage the reputation of every rescue. (Every rescue? I hardly think so.....just the ones on ABR who spend more time begging for funds than taking care of there little ponies)

30628.1001
I agree with you that until this plays out, it would not be a good idea to alert the press. Until you have more answers, an article at this time may put the tried and true rescues in jeopardy with potential adopters. (and who are these tried and true rescues? Wasn't LL one of those?)

I would think if the Board Nazi was any kind of man he would have done put down his pencil writing about the memoirs of brushing Barbaro and wrote some kind of press release to protect his beloved board and FOB's before some nut like me comes along and exposes the truth of the matter :)

Oh, and as for the head honcho scam cover up moderator mistress on ABR:

24250.5 in reply to 24250.1
SHAME on you for giving her the time aday on here.. You of all people "should" know better........... tsk tsk tsk... good job

Maybe you should have given me the time of day instead of banning me and deleting my posts when I popped in with info on Lifelines.....


_________________________________

Onto more fun stuff :)

I ran across this post on ABR this morning, love it, love it, love it......


30815.1
Do any other posters here wonder if outsiders that read this forum get the wrong impression? I know that often, when trying to educate the media, and our public officials, they are given links to this BB, for info on slaughter/rescue. If for some reason, they then "browse" around this forum, they'll find people trying to pretend they are Barbaro/Nicanor posting on a BB, or they see posts from people who are writing that they are sobbing hysterically about Barbaro this long after his death, or people being asked to light candles for a dead horse because the number of candles is low.

Do you ever worry that those things make us look like whackjobs, and therefore reduces the credibilty of our anti-slaughter position? I mean, the pro slaughter side can tell people, "Well, just go LOOK at some of the posts on that forum. Those people are nutjobs!" And if they read some of these threads, they'll agree with the pro slaughter side. The good that has been done by members of this forum becomes invisible, when pro-slaughter side people use the other posts to prove that the anti slaughter side is a bunch of emotionally unstable, middle aged housewives playing the adult version of "My Pretty (dead) Pony".

Personally, Im afraid to link to this BB (even the WIKI section) for fear that the reader might actually browse around...

I have to give this gal some credit. She's taking major heat for her post and she didn't go back and modify or delete it. Of all the FOB's out there, this woman truly "Gets it". She's been a member there for quite some time but is being treated the same as "I see you just joined today" posters....If I was this gal I would take what marbles I have left in my brain from even attempting to be a part of this and run like Forrest Gump! It's clear she is to "normal" for that place :)

More ABR Scams, Lies, Cover Up's & Dead People?

*
Well it's been a couple of exciting weeks over on the nut bag board......

Let me start with giving you a little history on a rescue called Lifelines, who claimed to be a 501c3 rescue....for the last couple of years they have been on ABR begging for anything from feed to fence to rent. They've had to unexpectedly "move" at least 3 times that I know of.....around every corner there was a red flag but the FOB's choose to ignore them and continuously threw money.

Several questions were raised over time.....and we all know that isn't allowed on the Nazi board to begin with, but what made this rescue even more protected from criticism is that one of the moderators on ABR, well, this was one of her babies. I can't tell you how many times I've seen posts deleted and members banned for asking legitimate questions of them.

Lets fast forward to November 6th.....A post is made by the moderator who has sang praises and glory for this rescue (MaryLOhio), that the owner of Lifelines, Theresa Driesbach, had passed away the night before. And to PLEASE send (can you guess? :) MONEY to the husband who is going to carry on her "dream"....referring to the rescue of course.

Imagine to everyone's surprise when the obituary came out and the owner of, here after referred to as LL, Lisa Zeller had passed.....

Damn little digging uncovered that the Zeller woman was indeed who everyone referred to as Theresa Driesbach, Lisa had been convicted of identity theft at least once. Also uncovered, again with damn little digging, that SUPRISE! LL was indeed not a 501c3 rescue, she had been arrested on more than one occasion, was involved in dog rescue at one time and was found to be a fraud then, not to mention a little abuse going on too.

I'm sure there is shit I'm missing, but honestly I'm not going to put that much energy into today's blog with going through all the crap I've researched and saved.....that should have been the job of all the people who threw money.....but I especially blame the moderator for what I can only refer to as a major cover up with all the praises she sang and posts that were deleted and members banned when anyone questioned LL.

MaryL has since modified the original death post to take out the part to send money of course......AFTER God only knows ow much money was sent. It's all about covering your tracks over there :)

So not only could all of this had been avoided with allowing questioning, now the members who donated to a fake 501c3 have to worry about the money they claimed on last years taxes and not being able to claim any donations on this years.

It gets better...if you didn't waste your time reading the link I posted above here is a basic run down for you of the events since Nov. 6th....well ok, the events since the beginning of LL coming to ABR. LOL

LL begs funds on ABR for 2 years.....right down to carrots and rent.

Red flags everywhere.

You ask questions, you get banned.

Double difficult, rescue is friends with a MOD. Questions 200% prohibited.

LL owner dies.

Mod comes on, announces death, says please send all your $ to husband to help carry on "the dream".

Obituary comes out....whoops, different name than the person they knew!

LL owner previously convicted of ID theft......

Next day husband who is "carrying on dream" is selling horses.

More info comes to light. Rescue owner has about 6 identities.

Opps, more info....LL owner died of AIDS two years ago too per a dog rescue forum.

SS# were required on all the adoption contracts.

Husband supposedly skipped town with the computer with all evidence on it....not to mention the "dream" money....wait, husbands back? Where is the computer? Who the fuck knows....

LL used a fake 501c3 and as been collecting donations for 2 years.

People who claimed them on taxes last year are fucked.

Bottom line.....person may or may not be dead, thousands of dollars given to the rescue after the death at a MODS request, and a hubby of felon with a ton of SS#'s.

In a way I feel a little guilty getting this much pleasure when a person could have actually died....then again I'm not overly bothered because of a long list of convictions from the ID theft to animal abuse.

The FOB's worshiped this woman.

Oh....and since the funds were raised on ABR ALL the FOB's think they own them and there is a huge power struggle going on. It's fucking awesome....sorry.....

There's about 10 threads going on now for this debacle.....there easy to find if you have several hours of your life to completely waste that you'll never get back. So far there has been several people claiming to be in charge of what going to happen to the horses now. It depends what day it is as to who's in charge. It's a huge cluster fuck!

One would think after this mess that the board Nazi and his minions would allow some questioning of rescues to go one. Hell, it even looked promising for a minute. But it's gone back to business as usual over there....

A rescue that amazing enough, several FOB's have questioned, took a little heat yesterday. The rescue is called Hidden Meadows Equine Rescue or HMER for short. Another that needs money for absolutely everything, down to band-aids, and has a farm that looks like a shit hole.....not to mention the lady has a real tough time with math, but it's ok, it always works out in her favor ;)

Questions deleted, members banned and the thread was locked. I see it's back open for posting now.....someone must have thrown an empty beer bottle at the board Nazi.

Bottom line is, AGAIN, if questions were allowed, standards set, people researched and moderators playing fair, the LL deal could have saved people a lot of time, energy and money....but I guess it would take away from the "numbers saved" that seem to be the MOST important thing over there.....even though I guarantee they couldn't tell you where 10% of those horses are now!

Sorry ICERs, I read a couple of things over there this morning that had me ROTFLMAO and so true......I have to share :)

Top 10 Standards of Behavior required on ABR that banned posters did not meet:

10. Smile all the time, or send smileys, or send bunnies that smile, or any cartoon with a smile on it.

9. Tell Alex how wonderful he is and how important he is to the horse industry on a daily basis.

8. Overlook any seemingly odd situations at "rescue" organizations in order to use more smiley cartoons, etc.

7. Say "I get it" or "She gets it" or "You get it" in at least three posts a month.

6. Mention Barbaro, what Barbaro is doing now, what Barbaro is thinking now, or any form of Barbaro comment whenever possible.

5. Take photos with orbs and post them regularly.

4. Tell Alex how wonderful he is and how important he is to the horse industry on a daily basis.

3. Pretend that ALL the horses ever given money to were REALLY RESCUED/SAVED from the kill pen, kill buyer, death, bad rescues, etc.

2. Whenever Alex writes a blog, column, goes on the radio, etc. be prepared to follow this up with a gushing comment on how important he is to the horses.
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON............ARE YOU READY..........???? CAN YOU GUESS????

1. WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI.... (as in no Wiki, no upkeep of Wiki, think Wiki is Whacky....etc.)

My Crickets Aren't Lonely!

A couple of times now I've blogged about the Animal Welfare Institute hooking up with the National Black Farmers Association. You can catch up here and here :)

Imagine my surprise today when I headed over to the nut bag FOB forum and found they were having the same problems I did!

Yet ANOTHER press release by the horsie huggers that was nothing but a lie....and they still wonder why people laugh and point whenever they flap their jaws (well, ok, fingers!)...

New Beginings

A short time ago some friends and I started a horse forum. It is NOT slaughter related, even though there is an area for that. For those of you who hate me, I certainly wouldn't expect to be treated any different than you are here in that area...LOL. But if your looking for some good old fashioned horse chat and learning without all the fru fru, I invite all to join :)
