We must always attempt to speak up for the voiceless - be they animals or humans. The deliberate abuse of either is absolutely unjustifiable.

Hi Brenda,

I have personaly saved horses bound for Italy directly from the trucks. We had an agreement with a driver and a stable boy at the race track. The horses were then trained as a companion horse. Everytime the trcuk came it was heartbreaking - I was always devestated about the ones that left.

ISABELLA, I KNOW HOW IT BREAKS YOUR HEART TO HAVE TO LEAVE SOME BEHIND--I HAVE BOUGHT/SAVED MANY FROM THE SALE BARNS AND HAD TO LEAVE MANY BEHIND! I KNOW MOST OF THE KILL-BUYERS AT THE LOCAL SALE BARNS AND THEY KNOW I HATE THEM WITH A PASSION, SO THEY AVOID ME IF POSSIBLE, BUT I ALWAYS MANAGE TO TELL THEM WHAT I THINK OF THEM AND ALL THEIR KIND IN SAILOR LANGUAGE BEFORE I LEAVE! NOT VERY LADY LIKE, BUT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER!

Do these people,who carry out these acts,imagine that animals have no emotions?Or do they shut their minds off to this thought,and think of it as business?

Thanks Jocelyn. Noted with thanks to Brenda for the post. After I signed the petition the signature count was over 3500. I hope the ILPH organization receives more than 100,000 signatures. The sooner this blatant abuse of the horses in Europe comes to a halt the better off the rest of the horses will be. They do not deserve such abuse and this mistreatment should be stopped at once. Horses have done so much for mankind. The inhumane treatment given to these horses just proves at how they are rewarded for their hard work and loyalty. It is unacceptable to me the way some humans treat horses in Europe and elsewhere in the world. I unfortunately cannot say or do what I want to because I would probably get locked up. But that's only if they caught me. Just a little humor to help in times like this because it angers me so. I would love to give the same type of treatment to the people who abuse these precious and beautiful horses! In this case I believe an eye for an eye would be appropriate.
