How Loooooow Can You Goooooo

I've seen this stuff from ABR before and it always pisses me off so I thought I'd share just how low some can go.....

There's a few FOB's that are obsessed with craigslist. If a cheaper of free horse is put on there they email and "warn" them about the evils of slaughter and how sneaky kill buyers are waiting on these horses.....because God knows that with the prices of horses and prices of fuel, all the kill buyers are cruising craigslist and scouring the country side putting on a big act to take poor little "Buttercup" from his loving owners straight to the killers.....he's worth so much damn money ya know....And there certainly aren't enough unwanted horses floating around by the hundreds in the auction houses . Geesh....LOL.

Anyway....every now and then the FOB's receive an email back that just makes me smile. I'm going to share this one from a gal who put a free horse on craigslist......

"Excuse me, but who are you to tell me what to do with my horse I paid money for? You need to keep your nose in your own business. I have three other mares that I rescued from the blm who are just fine. She will be going only to an approved home where she will be loved. Please, for future reference, keep out of peoples business from now on. I am not your charity case to try and save, and niether is my mare".

Gotta love it........but here is where the lowness comes in......instead of leaving this person alone, they have decided that this person should not own a horse. Here is what their trying to pull off.....

"I wonder if this lady is interested in providing her last name or the horse's brand number so that I can call Jason at 3-Strikes and he can get a hold of Sally in D.C. with the BLM and have the lady blacklisted from adopting any MORE BLM Mustangs from the BLM. She said this is not the only Mustang that she has, and I dont feel that she really needs to have any more. Clearly stating she's not working with the horse, so off the ships it to someone else who will either slaughter it or send it on down the line from home to home."

"You could try emailing her and ask her for the BLM ID. She is likely to tell you the same thing but worth a try. I am hoping my email scared her a lttle. I just found another 2 BLM mustangs for sale near me for $100 each and I emailed that person also."

"you could try approaching her as a potential adopter and ask for the info"

"I think I'll email her. Since you can find out a lot about the horse's history by their brand, it would make sense that I'd want to know as much of the history as possible if I were a potential adopter. I wish that horse was closer because I'd go get it and go pay a visit to Jason. I hate it when people go adopt a horse from the BLM and then just become irresponsible about it and pawn it off on someone else."

Nice ain't it

First, what the FOB's are doing is called SPAM and it's ILLEGAL. But the FOB's are on a high pedestal (in their own minds) so it makes it ok......

Yes, this lady has been warned that she is being discussed on an internet forum and these good people have decided to play judge and jury......this kind of stuff makes me want to poke my eyes out.

On a happier note, I did join ICERS forum. They are anti slaughter but have a pretty good grip on reality. I wasn't met with "open" arms......but aside from a few FOB's melting down and coming over to try to run me off they have been very accepting of allowing me my opinions even though they know where I stand on the slaughter issue.

There are so many more woes in the horse world right now that have nothing to do with slaughter. They deal primarily in calling out the bad rescues that are scamming people out of money and warning others.

Oh, and check this out.....a while back the Board Nazi, Alex banned everyone that actively posted in ICERS. Imagine that...LOL. The little man just can't seem to handle reality :) He even banned people that are very active in helping in the rescue community (legitimate rescues that is.....). Ah, what an ego this man has......

Until next time!

Amusing Letter About a Huge Problem

Someone sent me the following in an email....LOL.

Dear Anita Getaclue,

Thank you for your fervent support of the recent laws that were passed in Illinois and the taco state that effectively ended the closely regulated slaughter of horses in the United States. Thank you for pushing the practice past our borders and out of control of the USDA's standards for humane treatment of food animals. We also appreciate your lobbying to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act currently in Congress, which will end the transport of unwanted horses to foreign slaughterhouses and keep each and every one of them within the borders of our beautiful nation-alive and well!

You'll be pleased to learn that the "alive and well" part is where you come in! A new organization has been created through the cooperative effort of the numerous horse industry organizations and the USDA, called "Save Horses In Trouble-Help End Abandonment & Death," or SH!THEAD for short. In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, and to alleviate the pressure on existing rescue facilities to take in the thousands of unwanted horses, we have decided to place one unwanted horse under the personal care of each and every person that supported banning horse slaughter in the United States.

As you may know, since the slaughter facilities have closed, not only have rescue facilities and shelters been inundated to the point that they have to close their doors to new arrivals, but many horses have also been neglected, starved to death, or abandoned because of the record high hay prices. Therefore, your participation in this program is mandatory.

We understand that it is your feeling that horses are pets, not livestock, and since most people in the United States do not choose to eat them, therefore no one should, and all horses should live out their lives in an idyllic pastoral setting. We also understand that while your relatively large 40' X 40' suburban backyard isn't exactly Yellowstone, it will just have to do. We are certain you will make the necessary adjustments.

Your unwanted horse is of unknown origin, but is roughly 6 years old (although we can't get close enough to him to tell for sure), weighs approximately 1500 pounds and has a mean streak a mile wide, and has been known to randomly bite, strike, or kick, especially at small children, elderly people, and house pets. We have decided to call him "Satan."

While Satan is capable of physical aggression, unfortunately he is not able to be ridden because of his crooked front legs. He is capable, however, of reproducing, as he is a stallion. This is of special import to you, as your neighbors and fellow members of the "Horses Are Humans With Hooves" group will also be provided with horses through our program, some of which might be mares.

For your information, the $20 you donate annually to the Humane Society of the United States can instead buy you approximately two bales of high-quality hay at the current market rate. Assuming that the bales weigh 100 pounds, and you feed 20 pounds to said beast per day, this will be enough to feed him for ten days. You will be happy to know that the lifespan of a horse averages about 25 years, and therefore Satan can bring you approximately 9,125 days of enjoyment. That is, of course, only if you provide him with the best care possible, which we are absolutely certain that you will. To ensure that Satan is receiving proper care, an inspector will visit your home on a weekly basis.

At your request, we can provide you with contact information for veterinarians, farriers, trainers, equine dental practitioners, whisperers, and tranquilizer gun dealers in your area, as well as the necessary contacts you will need for euthanasia and disposal of Satan's earthly vessel when he crosses over. We foresee that Satan's death will be especially traumatic for you, being the enlightened individual that you are, and counselors are already available at 1-900-NO-SENSE. ($3.99 for the first minute, $1.99 for each additional minute).

Unfortunately, there is no government financial assistance for care and maintenance costs of SH!THEAD horses, as all of the funds allocated for such things are dedicated to the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse program.

Sincerely,

Gene E. Us

Program Director

Meltdown!

Big flames......CBER meltdown. It's all over the net. I'll let you read all the links, they pretty much say it all, can't think of to much to add besides this doesn't surprise me or a LOT of people.

FHOTD went to the shredder with them (April 7th and 8th)......I certainly don't agree with a lot of her opinions but I'll have to admit I do get a sick twisted kick out of it when she's right because of the level she takes it to.

ICERS is a board I've been watching for quite some time. These people (with the exception of a couple) really DO "Get it". I've toyed with the idea of joining there, even though our views on the actual slaughter issue is different I can't find to much else to bitch about with their practices. I know I wouldn't have to fear the censorship I received from ABR. More power to them for standing up for their opinions.

ABR....No surprise here.....Alex still has his head in the sand. This is what Alex had to say, the board Nazi will probably end up doing his usual banning/deleting/censorship process so you better read quick.....LOL.

21893.16 in reply to 21893.14
stephanie, i may be in a minority here, but i do not believe the horses went to slaughter. if it is true it would be sad on many levels, but personally i do not believe it to be so. cheers, alex

Alex Alex Alex, do you NOT realize if there is even a hint of truth to this how much money, thousands upon thousands of dollars, have been funneled through your board in the name of Barbaro? Oh please don't forget that chapter in your book! LMAO. I mean really......if it had been like the Fair Dinkum deal, well I'll admit, that snuck up on a lot of people......but people have been screaming for years giving warnings about CBER, yet he is always there sticking up for them.

If I was him I would be so ashamed I'd have to threaten to shut the board down yet once again so the groupies will come out and pump my ego back up :)

Ooooooops, I was right!
21893.20 in reply to 21893.18
i don't disagree, but i am not sure calling me out on my choice of words is necessary. it would likely be the end of this board and devastating to me personally, but not as bad as it would be for the horses slaughtered. i just don't think that because of what has been posted it makes it true. cheers, alex

Devastating to you personally because you would be "sad" for the horses? Devastating to you personally because you helped rob people of thousands of dollars? Or devastating to you personally because book sales just went down?

Clueless Alex really SHOULD have some notiriety for his fantastic awesome skills! I mean who else could think of a diversionary tactic like that! Take the heat off himself for being in bed with CBER for so long by his yet again "I'm gonna shut the board down!" threat. Is it true that little men need big egos to compensate for their little.....um....oh well.....never mind :)

Really, I wonder where HIS accountability lies. This whole idea of funneling money on a public Internet forum thing really creeps me out anyway......But then again that whole board creeps me out.....LOL!

OMG my head is spinning from all the excitement today. I think I'll top the night off with a nice cup of coffee with a Kahlua kicker and head to bed :)

Long Time No Chat

Sorry for the disappearing act.....I really didn't mean to take this long of a break. The days turned into weeks......

Looks like it's pretty much the same old shit, different day out there. All of the articles and news peaces on starving and abandoned horses are pretty depressing. Hay and grain prices suck. Fuel prices blow.

I wasn't shocked today when I logged onto ABR and found another rescue has went down and taken the FOB's money with them. When will they ever learn. And how about their fearless leader Alex? FOB's are screaming for accountability and their he sits, quiet as a church mouse. The silence is louder than anything he could say at this point.

I also noticed another one of his favorite rescues he stands ferociously behind, CBER, has had another round of difficulties and no accountability. When questions were brought up, the Board Nazi quickly closed the thread.

I noticed that someone mentioned Mustang Hearts in the comments section. I actually did a blog on them a while back. Not much has changed, their still begging for every flake of hay on ABR. Now she's loosing her place, won't answer any questions but expects people to donate. Oh, and I also learned she can tame wild horses in a week .....what will be next, she's already a psychic too....

I'll never understand why the Board Nazi allows this kind of stuff.....I guess it goes to prove some people don't care what kind of light is shed on them.....as long as there IS light on them.

Oh and LOL.....this thread about Barbaro is just entertaining....are these people 13 years old?

You Guys Are Killing Me!!!!

And no, I don't mean in the terrorist way that the FOB's would like to kill someone if you thought a horse was not a pet.....

I mean the information and down right funnies you guys are sending!

Today this blog is your one stop shop for FOB entertainment

Let's start with a few articles.......A funny from Deadspin. And Barbaro is a Cheeto????

And this little blurb from the Church of Barbaro has me ROTFLMBFAO (the whole article is actually a good read :)

Alex Brown, wearing a yellow Fair Hill sweatshirt with holes in it, sits in front of his Toshiba laptop computer. He was drawn into this by happenstance, really. Painfully thin, he's a little too tall to be a jockey. There are scraps of paper and empty coffee cups and dead-soldier wine bottles and books and food wrappers piled high around him.

He lives here, set back from a quiet street, his house decorated in late bachelor, mostly with chess sets and photos of Barbaro.

Without Barbaro to rally around, the FOBs helped other horses, saving almost 600 so far, like this one named Mattie.

In the virtual world where he spends five hours a day, he's God. He created this universe. He banishes the disruptive. He offers redemption to the recalcitrant. He's learned he cannot get involved in arguments because his opinion is law. When he does speak, his words manifest themselves in the actions of a fan base desperate for direction. If he mentions a charity, it is supported. If he disses a charity, it is ignored. If he likes a book, it is bought.

One of my new favorite blogs.....Left At The Gate......and his blog about a recent sculpture that is getting ready to be released. If your into TB racing you should really keep this blog marked.

With the upcoming anniversary of Barbaro's death on Jan. 29th I suggest you have your generators ready.....you should see the lights of the big cities going dim when all the FOB's hit a candle site to light candles in memory of their baby boy.

A reader made me these pictures that is so very fitting for the upcoming event....enjoy because I sure did!!!!



And a little added bonus :)




Be sure and read the comments on this article.....the Canadians just love Bo Derek...


Ok, enough rambling.....I really need to conserve my energy for the 29th, I'm sure it's going to prove to be an amusing day!

Random Thoughts

I wonder if the Jacksons would have this much trouble if they lost a HUMAN. I bet if it was a relative they would have been shoved in the first hole that was dug. Yes, play it for all you can get out of it. 100 posts from people who think they know where Barbaro should be buried and the posts begging for hay that are all over the place barely have a reply.

I thought this article was interesting. Pretty much dispels the theory that people from other countries don't have a clue what's going on. But people like me already knew that ;) I have also been reading where the radical zealots have been writing the author to tell them how wrong they are....idiots....

Martha Stewart....well I can't stand the lady to begin with but this just adds to it. She had Equine Advocates on her show (youtube video of the show), I didn't have much of a problem with that, they were pretty good about representing the facts, only a couple of slants thrown in. What does upset me, and she should be publicly flogged for it, is putting her audience on the spot. Equine Advocates had a petition to sign and Martha told everyone in her audience to sign it. Sorry, but there was not nearly enough information thrown out there for the audience to make an educated decision. Of course the FOB's couldn't believe there were no gasps or sighs from the audience when horse slaughter was mentioned!

I also loved how Martha showed off her barn manager. I bet she does a lot of hands on with those horses...NOT! Of course Martha has a blog but you won't see any pro slaughter comments being posted on it..sure you can waste your time trying to let her know that what she did by coercing her audience was unmoral at the least, but the blog police will only allow complete zealot responses ;)

Well I've been gone for a few days due to feeling crappy and being busy.....so I'm sure I'll have more random thought shortly when I can catch my breath!

My Friends Are Twisted :)

But I still love them dearly....LOL!

So yesterday I'm minding my own business when a package arrived at my door. A brand new Double Decker hauler personally customized just for me!

What really makes it so freakin hilarious is this came from a couple of my friends that work very hard in the rescue industry and are on the anti slaughter side of things. No, not radical whack job wackaloons, just nice (twisted, warped :) people doing their part.

Anyway, I just have to share.....my bright new shiny DD!



And the customized to my taste license plate and mud flaps are da bomb :)



Sign down the side of the trailer....



The drivers door.....LOVE IT!!!!



I just had to return the favor of my warped gift with a warped picture....LOL...at least it answers the question "How many Breyers will fit in a DD" :)



I love you guy's and thanks for making my day!

Barbaro's Dead?????

Yep, he sure is.....and the bottom line is if his owners weren't in a business that kills horses every single day he would probably still be alive and frolicking right at this moment.

Am I anti racing? Hell no...just like I am not anti rodeo or anti eventing or anti anything else that might take an animals life from time to time.

How did Barbaro become the anti slaughter poster child anyway? The TB industry, although they profess to be anti slaughter, send TB to the slaughter house every day. More horses die in TB racing than any other equine sport.

Barbaro and the Jackson's....hummm....ok, so Barbaro's owners are anti slaughter, or are they? I seriously have to wonder. I mean it was no secret in the beginning that their main intention after Barbaro's break down was to get him breeding sound so they could MAKE MORE MONEY. My gut feeling is the Jackson's picked up on Barbaro becoming an anti slaughter poster child and played that route to stay in the lime light because of the attention their horse was receiving.

Of course any respect I might have had for the Jackson's went out the door when the FOB's were allowed to act like PETA. Any respectable person would not allow what is going on on the ABR forum. If you worshiped a false idol (Barbaro) and talked of God while in the same sentence threatening people and judging them for their different views, I would know you were a lunatic and NOT want to be associated with it. So that alone tells me the Jackson's have a few screws loose too.

AGAIN, the Jackson's only intent was to get Barbaro BREEDING SOUND to MAKE MONEY. No secret....watch the early news clips and read the articles. It was stated many many times....it wasn't until later on they jumped on the radical bandwagon...

Just a little something to think about.....And of course, as always, this is my OPINION!

Save The Horses! Kill The Babies!

Ok, yesterday I spent some time on the computer but didn't blog because I can't seem to shake this damn bug I have.

Anyway I spent some time reading the hate campaigns being unleashed by the radical anti because of the Huckabee horse meant connection.

You know what I found amazing? The majority of the anti slaughter crowd seem to be Democrats. Now I'm NOT going to get into party bashing....I believe you vote for the candidate that best suits your wants, needs and views. I'm a die hard Republican but I do not hate Democrats or think that they are not entitled to their views....I'm really not sure that I "hate" anyone.....

Why do I find it amazing that Democrats seem to be in the majority against horse slaughter? Because I feel VERY strongly about abortion.....in essence the radical anti slaughter group is saying "Save the horses, kill the babies". Now if that's not hypocritical then I don't know what is.

Why is an animals life, any animal, more important than a human life? I can't wrap my brain around this one......

Pick up the phone and tell them you are an American horse owner and to please NOT support S.311! American horse owners do not want horses standing in fields starving!

Here We Go Again.....

Why is the radical anti slaughter crowd so scared of how American horse owners really feel? What else could be the explanation for them cheating on so many polls?

Let's start with this one from MSNBC a few months back and re live some of the radical ranting of my favorite group of people.....the FOB's. Of course my comments are in green:

Do you remember what the poll results are right now? Also, the comments are running very heavily IN FAVOR of horse slaughter!! We need a massive number of anti-slaughter comments. (I'm so sorry that other people are allowed to have an opinion besides the zealots....)

poll #'s need to come up on this poll!!!! Keep voting!!! Keep commenting!!! (Do not eat, do not sleep, just keep swaying that poll!)

I will vote again and often!

When I voted I was very surprised to see that only 64 % agreed that horse slaughter should end, and they put that option at the top so it should have been higher.
We need to get this over 80% as usual. The readers of this web site may be slanted to the pro slaughter side so we need to balance that. (How is cheating by voting multiple times adding balance?)

The Pro-Slaughter Morons Are Posting Comments Again!!
We can post multiple comments about this article so we need to get busy!! Try to mention the bill #'s for calling D.C. in your comments!! : )

I did vote Mulitple times.... (Of course you did! You're an FOB!)

Please be careful posting.
Seems bighorse farm (Thats Me :) has been slamming the FOB's on the msnbc comments section to this article.
Has copied and pasted posts about voting more than once. (Oh no! Exposed for the whack jobs you really are?)
Last thing we need is to be thought of as radical, desperate underhanded people as this person is protraying us to be.
Scarey that pro slaughter has decided to attack us now. (Um....LOL? You can attack but can't be attacked in return?)

I've been voting!

___________________________________________
And here is an exchange on the ABF board where the FOB's tell you how to vote often....

I voted earlier...can we vote more than once?

yes you can! as long as you go out of the msnbc site completely then back in... if you only click the same link to it, it remembers your IP address... if that happens? Clear your temp files and cookies... that should do the trick!!!

Don't forget if you on dial up all you have to do is clear your cashe and cookies and you can vote as many times as you want!!! No tracing IP's!!!
___________________________________________

Now let's fast forward to the present.......If I broke down all the polls they have cheated on today's blog would never end.....

A poll done by Washington Watch. This is concerning Bill S.311 and HR 503:

Can we vote twice?????????????

I just voted again--Yeah!!

I just voted. Going to try again later. (Of course you will!)

The vote is on the same page as the comments but I think people were missing it so I thought it should be pointed out when I saw we were losing! I think we should be ahead in no time now:) (OMG, you were loosing? Thank God you started cheating!)

I knew those numbers would change as soon as the FOB's knew to vote! (Of course they would with the vote often method!)

Let's just keep it at one vote per person the voter police is watching and then she blabs it all over the internet to tell everyone the only reason antislaughter is ahead on votes is because we cheat. (Yes, let's put up a good front on the internet, just trying to keep you honest! And do you really think the numbers would be the same if you didn't cheat?)

I'm not too concerned about the pro HS comments, long as the NUMBERS are in our favor. (Yes, cheating is the MOST important thing!!!)

Hay - it let me vote AGAIN! (Why would an honest person, who had no intentions of cheating even try to vote more than once? ;)
_______________________________________________

The ADMIN of Wahington Watch is arguing that cheating isn't possible because it keeps track of your IP. Good in theory, sucks in reality. A short course in FOB poll cheating 101 will clear that up real fast. Also anyone with any computer knowledge at all knows there are a million loop holes.

It really is a shame that there can't be an honest poll out there and let people who actually own horses voice their opinions and have a fair playing field.....But as long as these radical wackaloons are out there that will unfortunately never happen.

And no, you won't see a cheating campaign for the PRO side being formed by me....that's something the anti side cannot seem to get through their head, the majority of us pro people are not radical and feel the need to spend hundreds of hours on the net "educating" people by lying and cheating.....

Pick up the phone and tell them you are an American horse owner and to please NOT support S.311! American horse owners do not want horses standing in fields starving!

Puppies & Kittens.....Oh My!!!

Of course I've got a lot of those one liner emails "I suppose you'd eat dogs and cats too!" Naturally I smirk when I get these and it's really not worth the time addressing it, but what the heck :)

First off, dogs and cat's really ARE pet's. They are not livestock, never have been, never will be. I am not confusing a 1200 pound horse (Livestock!) with a 20 pound lap dog (Pet!).....

Second, dogs and cat's have never been food in America. Yes, the horses carried us into battle, plowed our fields and took Granny to the doctor.....but when those horses were injured or became unusable, guess what? Most became food......Like I've said before, you won't see that on "Little House On The Prairie" but it happened. A brief Internet search through history can confirm that for you.....

I do find it a shame that millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year due to lack of owner responsibility and just dumped into landfills or cremated....Yes, I do wish we could come up with some kind of use for all of this unnecessary death.

No, I'm not suggesting a new addition to the menu.....that would be more than even I could stomach.....but isn't it a much sadder world that this is going on without much relief in sight while something that is considered livestock is taking such a beating???

Another interesting fact for you.....horse slaughter for human consumption in the USA is illegal....we all know it has to be shipped overseas....but consumption of horse meat in the USA is NOT illegal. Horse meat dishes can still be found here in the USA in a few of the elite restaurants. Thus even further blasting out the "Americans don't eat horse" BS.

No, I'm not going to name the places where you can go enjoy a nice horse steak....they aren't places that the average middle income family will ever walk into anyway.....and I'm certainly not going to cause more grief.

The Internet is also a wonderful thing. If you get the hankering for a nice sweet horse steak then with the click of a few buttons and a credit card you can have it shipped right to your door. So anyone on the fence, I suggest you try it before you knock it. With the ever increase of our beef, I find it a shame it's not readily available for everyone to enjoy.

Saturday Chuckle :)

Remember the picture a couple of days ago with the lady feeding carrots out of her mouth to a horse? Well it seems that she isn't happy about it.....LOL....like I give a shit! If you don't want pictures floating around on the net then quit posting dumb ass shit!

Of course she didn't have the balls to comment to the blog.....instead she posts on a public forum, but for your entertainment here is what she had to say:

HEY BUC UP. THAT PIC IS OF ME AND MY 25 YEAR OLD TB GELDING. HE DOES NOT BITE AND IS NEVER EVER GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 15 YEARS. SO KISS MY IRISH ARSE, YOU BLOODY IDIOT.GOTTA DANCE HAS DONE IT ALL WITH ME AS MY FRIEND AND COMPANION, ''PRELIM'' EVENTING, WINNING AT GROTON HOUSE AND LEDGYARD FARMS INTERNATIONAL,KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS,DRESSAGE SHOWS, HUNTERS,JUMPERS, HE IS THE GREATEST TB AND DOES NOT HAVE A MEAN BONE IN HIS 25 YEAR OLD TB SOUND,FIT BODY.gotta dance is guarenteed a forever safe happy home with us filled with love,kindness and caring plus tons of carrots.lol. SO GO PICK ON SOMEONE ELSE, YOU ARE A CREEP ALONG WITH YOUR OTHER PROSLAUGHTER IDIOT FRIENDS. WE ARE A 501C3 EQUINE RESCUE . I WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO ADOPT A VULTURES CARCASS FROM US. LEAVE ALL OF US ALONE, THIS IS A GREAT BOARD. YOURS IS GOD AWFUL. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE SOME SPELLING/ENGLISH CLASSES.

Of course anytime I run across something like this it only proves my point on the radical nature of these so called horse loving individuals. It also makes me ROTFLMAO when someone who obviously has worse grammar than me telling me I need to take classes.....LOL....If I'm going to say something so dumb ass I would at least have enough sense to use a spell check button and use proper English myself ;)

It would take you about 2 seconds on ABF reading the posts by this whack job (baldface) to realize she really needs to put the bottle down! LOL! And the funniest thing of all is there is only about 2-3 people on the whole ABF board that think she's normal. The rest of the antis even have enough sense to see a whack job when it hits them in the face so hard.

So thank you Kathleen/baldface for giving me a Saturday morning chuckle :)

Judging by the way you had hold of that carrot I'd be assured that if your "rescue" ever goes under you will have some job security ;)

Huckabee 2008

Ok, I am a die hard Republican. I know that's not a real popular thing right now and good old George has managed to even piss me off. But overall, the Republican party supports my belifs.

I'd also vote for a good indipendant....if we could find one...

I was leaning towards Hickabee, he's just to damn nice and down home for me to look around to much.

Sooooooooooooo........imagine my suprise when I can across this......

Mike Huckabee said one of his favorite foods is a Dutch dish, made from horse meat. "Tastes like chicken!"

He's gettin' my vote :)

Pick up the phone and tell them you are an American horse owner and to please NOT support S.311! American horse owners do not want horses standing in fields starving to death!

Nice......

Someone sent me this picture. Of course this picture is from someone who calls herself a "rescue". Now who in their right mind would treat a horse from their mouth? Way to teach him to bite someones face off......geesh....Maybe he'll be adopted out by a little kid and the new owners can start out with medical bills for plastic surgery instead of vet bills....again, who in their right mind???

Well, that's about all I have to bitch about today. I've had the flu for 6 days now......so I'm off to take care of my own and then I think the couch and I will do some quality bonding today.

How To Get Active?

Since the USA Horse Slaughter plants have closed, transport to Mexico for slaughter has increased 400%. Plants used to be scattered all over the USA, but due to anti slaughter advocates getting our plants shut down, now horses are traveling long distances in often horrible conditions to meet the same end.

Bills have been proposed to shut down the Mexican and Canada borders to make it illegal to ship US horses to slaughter. Ok, then what? The thinking is that horse owners will automatically become "responsible". As another blogger wrote:

According to one study the main reasons for horse neglect and abuse is owner ignorance - the second is financial hardship. How does banning slaughter address either situation?

Hard fact....most reputable rescues are already up to their armpits in horses and have "No Room At The Inn" signs up. What happens to horses when financial hardship happens and all other outlets are full? I just ask you to think about that rationally for a second....

Not only that the wording on these bill are a little scary. Here is what the AAEP has to say about these bills.

Tired of sitting back watching what's happening to our horses? Tired of only one side being heard? What can you do?

Well the anti slaughter crowd calls, email and faxes congressmen and senators on almost a daily basis. It's hard to bitch if you're just sitting back watching it all happen. Just picking up the phone once a day can make a world of difference.

Think Globally, Act Locally.....

Someone sent me an email with these words in it "Think Globally, Act Locally". This person "gets it". Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of my views, we definitely have an understanding on this.

If you act locally, worry about what is in your own back yard, do what you can do and move on, it would have a global effect.

Critters have been on this planet for thousands of years. Most managed quite well without us. Some were used for work, most were used as food, very few were used for companionship. Do people not realize all these changes have came about in basically the last 100 years? Really, what makes it ok to eat a cow, chicken, hog or even a fish any different than a horse?

Anyone who has ever actually WATCHED the slaughter process of ANY animal can figure out in about 5 seconds that they all show terror for those few seconds before the axe comes. We used to raise Ostriches.....I can tell you right now that is NOT one happy bird when they get on the trailer to be slaughtered. I had 6 in the trailer once and I looked like a drunk driver going down the road with all the fishtailing from the "unhappy" birds.

We used to have HORSEMAN in this world....now we have a bunch of horse owners. Especially since any idiot can own a horse now for $20, or less. We have "rescues" popping up over night, people begging for money to care for these horse and rescue more. Where does it end? The good rescues are packed full and the shit hole rescues that might as well be hoarders are going to all need saving soon.

You can scream owner responsibility all you want, but the cold hard facts are it ain't gonna happen any time soon. If it was happening then we wouldn't have to put to sleep 192,308 dog/cats per week or 27,473 every day......or 1 every 4 seconds......

I don't understand why a lot of these PETA type people, who think they are doing so much good, do not realize how badly they are hurting the horses they say they love so much.

Some people want to blame everything on the economy...well I'm not buying into that either. I remember the summer that I was 11 years old. I worked all summer to buy a filly I had fallen head over heels for. 4 year old, green broke, papers, but nothing really special. She was $900.

When I was 11 Carter was in office. Am I the only one even at the ripe old age of 11 that remembers how our economy was then? Mortgage rates at an all time high. The job market sucked. But this filly was still $900 bucks. Now I could buy 9 just like her with that $900.

People can sit at a desk and write "white paper" articles and stuff all day long. Heck I could do that myself. Does that make everything true, or anything for that matter? I hardly think so.

We are at a FIRST time right now where the USA hasn't seen horse slaughter. There's not a soul out there who can say what is to come and what will happen. All I know is that the plants are closed, abuse and neglect seem to be on every corner and getting worse, and horses are a dollar a dozen. And I don't think it has a thing (for the most part) to do with the economy.

I'm not a horse hater, I'm a realist. And it makes me mad to see an industry that I was once proud of being a part of crumble to the ground. If horses had to be treated like the livestock that they are to keep a descent price on a horses head, then so be it.

If people would tend to their own back yards and stay out of other peoples it would make a world of difference that I think we could all live with.

WoW....

I find it incredibly amusing that the FOB's seem to think I made this whole 11 horse deal up. It just goes to show the wackaloon mentality that I am pointing out about these radical groups.

All I can say is if you show up with a trailer and $1650 bucks you will be taking 11 horses home with you.....

I've had horses since the day I was born, I know half the horse people in Illinois from one end to the other......I don't make shit up, I like my friends, I like making new friends.

I've had a couple of people send me nice emails about the horses, one gal I even picked up to phone and chatted with. Not one of the wack job's spouting on ABF has even sent me an email, only spread their radical maliciousness across their forum.

Just a weeeeeeeeeeeeee little hint for you guys...the FOB's are not the only ones that read this blog. These horses are available to anyone or any group that wants them....well within reasons......LOL.....I even have some standards :)

BTW I would really LOVE to move on and point out other groups, thoughts and ideas, but the FOB's are just giving me to damn much material right now

The Ugly Truck Is Coming! The Ugly Truck Is Coming!

Due to the threats and harassment by radical zealots who call themselves "rescue groups" these horses are no longer available.

I tried to do something half way descent but was only met with threats and criticism. Thank you for the 3 am "Horse Killer" calls and the email threats. I'm just not going to deal with this. The last straw was that "Animal Planet" garbage on ABF.

Thanks to the rational people here that truly wanted to help, but the wackaloons came out in bigger forces. It's just not worth it. I was volunteering my time, along with a couple of other girls. I don't care how mad anyone gets at me but I am not going to put others in jeapordy......

Disclaimer...LOL

I tend to lump people together, when in reality that is not the way I feel. I know when I get to talking about certain groups of people that there actually are SOME people in these groups that are doing good. They are sane reasonable people.

It's the fact that the "sane" ones get lost in the mix with all the radical zealots. When I type all I can see in my head is the "BUC said a horse could carry 1200# of weight" type of people.

I've gotten a few nice emails telling me my slaughter views suck but thanks for pointing out the zealots.

No one should be ran away from a cause they believe in or feel embarrassed to be a part of something they feel strong about. Well that is exactly what is happening.

As long as their are radical zealots I will have material for this blog....and I apologize to the ones THAT ARE doing good that get lumped in with the wackaloons.

Sunday Morning Funny

And the FOB's wonder why I call them wackaloons....well today I am going to call them idiots and give the beautiful Loon the day off ;)

Why are they idiots? (I wish I knew...LOL) Well because obviously it's ok to hoard horses, put them in shit hole facilities, not be able to afford horses unless you beg for money on the Internet, not give horses adequate vet and farrier care.....but if you are over 120lbs. and actually ride your horses, they consider THAT abuse? LMAO

I wonder how the lard asses on ABF that post pictures of themselves on horses that look like their half dead feel about these comments? Because they certainly don't bother me! All I am going to do is point out how totally frickin stupid you guys sound......you will not find me on the floor in a fetal position crying my eyes out anytime in the near future. Only sitting here LMBFAO!!!!!

Based on the header picture they have decided I am a big fat cow and it's abuse to be on my poor horses back. I know FOB's aren't used to seeing a healthy horse but come on now....LOL.....Would it make you feel better if I only hoarded horses and didn't ride? Or is it my adequate fencing, lack of hillbilly junk shit in my yard, the fact that all my animals are well taken care of and healthy and you can't find anything else to pick on?

Oh yeah...my speeling! I no can speel or put sentnce gether....weeeell me think then you cant findz nuttin beter to beotch about. If I ilitrate but hord horze in name of no slauter then it ok, I throw $10 your'z way, it be fine.....LOL...this isn't an English lesson moron, it's a BLOG :)

And again, you guys are showing your complete lack of horse knowledge, that's the scariest part! So please keep on ranting about fat asses on horses. What you don't realise is your only confirming everything I have said! The FOB's don't know a horses head from their ass! Just so you know.....the peppermints go in on the end with the nose.....

BTW my "pony" is a Morgan. I kinda like him. I call him my pony. He's not a mini dumb ass :) Here is what a healthy, well taken care of horse looks like, I know FOB's don't get to see them very often, so please let me share!

BoBo in his "My Pretty Pony" get up.

See that construction in the back? Guess what that is??? It's a barn (now finished) we paid for and built all by ourselves without begging for money from anyone!

Hey wait a minute, someone is getting screwed here and I think it's me! LOLOLOL! I mean all my animals are technically rescues....I think I should start a rescue and everyone can pay to feed and take care of MY animals! Think of all the extra beer money I could have! I might be able to make myself enough money to buy me one of those fine looking crack shacks and fence clear up to my porch!

This is what a horse and a pony look like. Now they should easily be able to identify the difference....LOL

Let me leave you with a little fact.....bet you never thought that the radical whack job's could get an education here! A healthy horse can carry 20-30% of it's body weight. I'll have to eat a few more HossBurgers before my 1200 pound pony has to do any huffing and puffing :)

And yes, thankyouverymuch, I do have spare time on my hands to be able to blog because I don't have more critters than I can afford to handle and properly take care of :)
