PLZ SEND EASY EMAIL TO THE GOVERNOR (VISIT SITE)IS THE CONTACT! THIS ATROSITY IS "WRONG"---MY EMAIL I SENT WITH WHAT INFO. I HAVE:

EMERGENCY!!! Lancaster, CA--Marcia Mayeda is murdering 105 horses RIGHT NOW


CROSS-POST AND FORWARD EVERYWHERE!!


Mass murderer Marcia Mayeda and her band of bloodthirsty killers of LA county animal control obtained an illegal warrant from a corrupt court to raid Equus Horse Sanctuary in Juniper Hills (animal control has no right to apply for or execute search warrants). They are there RIGHT NOW slaughtering horses--they have already slaughtered 5 or 6 horses and thrown them in a dumpster and they will continue to murder 99 more horses!!! They will continue to kill the old horses until all are dead. The monsters have generators and lights, they will continue their kill fest all day and all night.


Some of the co-conspirators in the mass murder: Chris, George, someone with the last name Scott, someone with the last name Rachel, and Sherry Koenig of LA county animal control all were spotten on the premises of Equus Sanctuary today sadistically enjoying the kill fest. There are six vets there, in vehicles that say "veterinarian" , doing nothing but killing horses. The horse-murdering sadists have been slaughtering the poor equines at Equus since 8:00 this morning, and as horrendous as that is, on top of it, the sadists are being paid to perpetrate the atrocity with your tax dollars! DA investigators and swat team running around in their costumes trying to be big shots by murdering senior citizen horses horses, like the horses were going to shoot them or something! .


These precious horses are all rescues and some are 30 years old. Since they were rescued by Equus, these horses have lived their lives in rustic contentment, and until today they have been safe in the loving care of their sanctuary and caretaker Janet. But now their safety has been shattered, Mayeda and the rest of her thugs have invaded the safety of the sanctuary, and because the old horses are thin--that's the way that old animals get--Mayeda hauled poor Janet off to jail, claiming, what else? Animal cruelty of course. The killers regard animals being old and thin as a crime punishable by death, and imprisonment of their caretakers.



The bloodthirsty killers of LA county animal control are so blatantly out of control, so intent upon perpetrating and escalating their mass murder of precious animals, that for today's bloodfest, they even set up tents and have catered food--they are making a party out of mass murdering these 105 innocent horses!


A woman named Gail Kaye is responsible for the death of every horse on that property, that Mayeda murders. Kaye was at the Equus Sanctuary last week, trespassing, she was seeking to get free horses, and representing herself as an employee of LA animal control. She wouldn't leave the property and had to be forcibly removed by the sheriff's office. In retaliation for not obtaining free horses, she conspired with Marcia Mayeda, Sherry Koenig and the rest of the killer crew to go out and destroy the whole sanctuary. Kaye is there right now with her horse trailer picking out the cream of the crop, and picking up free horses in her white ford F350 long bed pickup truck with a horse trailer, with tape on her license plate so that no one will know who she is, all of which is illegal and they should arrest her for it.



Kaye, along with her buddy, Mayeda, is responsible for the slaughter

The U.S. has now shut down and officially banned all horse slaughterhouses. But horse slaughter is alive and well, and continually escalates, perpetrated by the sadists of LA county animal control, and other murderous pounds.



When is the slaughter going to stop, when will people demand an end to the reign of terror by the Nazi animal controls, SPCA's, "Humane" Societies, and other sadists who continue and keep escalating their total victimization of innocent animals and their caretakers?? ?

Please contact the press, no one is out there to witness this horror being perpetrated by the psychotic killers who will never be content until every animal in the world is dead. Also, please call the LA county DA's office at (213) 974-3512, and demand that these monstrous sadists of LA county animal control, especially Marcia Mayeda, be stopped from continuing to perpetrate their crimes, and be brought to justice.

Call Linda of Equus at (818) 935-7477 cell phone. You can also try the sanctuary office number but that may not be a working number anymore: (530) 260-0148.

Please call all the TV stations and demand they cover this story. Channel 4 refused, saying, oh, well, the horses are old, so they are not bothering to even go out to cover the slaughter! The horses need help, Equus desperately needs an attorney. Also go and see what you can do to stop the killing, or at least to document it and bear witness, take your cameras and video recorders. The sanctuary is located off the 14 freeway, exit at Pearblossom, then ask one of the local businesses for directions to the sanctuary.

Please do your research before believing any of this drivel. The woman in question is an animal hoarder whos horses were in such awful care animal control was forced to help them.

Why did animal control get involved to begin with? The water had been shut off to the property. There was NO WAY TO GET WATER for these horses. Horses need an average of 8-10 gallons of water per day! When animal control investigated not only did they find horses without water, they found them starving to death and in need of medical care.

Being emaciated is NOT a sign of old age, its a sign of poor care. An elderly horse should have just as much weight as a young one, there is NO EXCUSE!

Animal control is NOT "slaughtering 99 horses" or "killing them all until they're dead" (what garbage). There is no blood bath, only ending the suffering of a few animals that were near starvation. They put down the horses that were in such serious condition that they would not even have survived a trailer ride to safety. That was about a dozen horses. The rest are in custody of animal control and they are working on getting them medical care and proper food and water.

The media IS covering this story. Here is FOX 11's story on what is ACTUALLY going on:

http://tinyurl.com/5o5bo7

The only monster in this story is Janet, who allowed these animals to get in such poor care that euthanasia was necessary. The LA animal control is doing a great thing by saving these horses from hoarders like her and making the difficult decision to put down the ones that were past saving.

The author of this post aught to be ashamed of themselves for spreading such blatant lies about these animals heroes.

Thank you for the information on the petition, River.

I signed this previously (Thank you! You signed at 10:36 AM PST, Jan 4, 2008) which is even more disturbing since I signed it almost 6 months ago and she is still getting away with this behavior.

ack!! Ok I meant what I said the first time but I dont know why it keeps repeating my post. Although from the looks of it no one is reading what I wrote anyway. >:(

EQUUS HORSE "SANCTUARY" IS THE BAD GUY PEOPLE!! SHES AN ANIMAL ABUSER! SHES THE KIND OF PERSON WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST, NO FOR!! ANIMAL CONTROL IS PROTECTING THESE HORSES, NOT SLAUGHTERING THEM!!

DO YOUR RESEARCH!! All of the information I posted took five seconds to google! Watch the video clip and see the TRUTH!!

Leave animal control alone, they are up to their necks trying to save these animals, the last thing they need is a hoard of misinformed people harassing them.

I have issues with this case.
I understand hoarding, this story is different from Tiger Ranch, at Tiger Ranch they went in with camera on. My understanding in this case, activists who tried to video tape this were arrested. Makes me wonder what they were trying to hide. LA's record for AC isn't the best:(
I'm standing with the rescuer till they can explain exactly what happened, & prove they're telling the truth. Please remember LA is where poor Lucy was killed right at Christmas time even after we raised enough signature to save her. I've not forgotten.

We'll likely never know the real story here, but abuse of rescuers by animal control is hardly unheard of. And "hoarder" is a psychological condition, not diagnosable by people on a message board who have never examined the person in question..not an "I don't like how you do rescue" issue.

Liz, I went and looked at the video. Whether it was this post or another one I can't remember right now, but I did sign petition... Whatever the story is, the most important thing is helping these horses, and trying to save as many as possible! That's the only thing anyone should be concerned with. Instead of letting her pride get in the way, the woman should of accepted help when it was offered, and asked for help when she realized she was getting in way over her head. Because of that, these horses are suffering from these horrible conditions. By the way, does anyone have an update on this??? Maybe with a recent update the whole story will become clearer. Thanks for posting and letting us all know of this situation Brenda.

This story about these poor horses isn't the only horror story I've heard about this woman. Some dog rescues have been told the wrong ages of puppies then when they get the proper shots (which by law these rescues must do) the puppies either die or become terribly sick which costs the rescue more funds they don't have:(

BrendaH: I just joined today because I was forwarded an email with this same message and in my search for the truth found this site. I also found more reliable sources than a forwarded email that said that the remaining horses were not in danger. I wanted to put in my two cents before everyone flew into a mob mentality (too late?).

I cant vouch for the LA AC for everything they've ever done. There very well may be times that they've been wrong, or a lot of times they've been very wrong, I honestly dont know! But from everything I am seeing about this case , this is not one of those times. They have made it pretty clear that, while a few horses had to be put down, the rest are in rehabilitation, getting vet care and food. There is no battle to fight here guys, the horses are safe.

We all want the same thing here, to save animals. In this case its horses and they happen to be my passion. But I really cant wrap my mind around why we should spend our valuable time and resources franticly contacting people about horses that are at no risk or were humanely destroyed.

If you dont want to listen I suppose thats your choice. (I'll try not to double post this time :P )

I called the news stations when this email came down the pike. And sent out calls to any horse people with L.A. contacts. It is being said this is not a first time. The condition of the horses were awful according to the news departments. Apparently there was no food there either. True hoarding maybe a mental abnormality that needs treatment but the main concern here was for the horses and getting them out no matter what it took. I only wish it had not taken so long. I had a hard time believing part of that email so instead of going to bed at 10:00 I stayed up until 2 am calling and checking. The horses were starved, no matter what her state is she has/had an obligation to them.

A volunteer said the animals were old and sick, but not maltreated.
Ranch volunteer Roland Vincent disputed those claims Monday, saying the ranch had water and the animals never missed a meal.

"They don't look like Big Brown, so they think something's wrong with them," Vincent said. "They're 35 and they're old."

ALSO. WHY WERE ACTIVIST TAKING VIDEO'S/PICS LAST NIGHT BEING ARRESTED!!

SEEMS LIKE VERY CONFLICTING STORIES HERE:

I just called Linda. She is very, very sad, as you may expect. The office # she didn't seem to recognize or want me to call. She told me pretty much what you wrote here, and that the animal activist on the property who was witnessing the slaughter was kicked off. Everyone was and animal control is killing the horses it wants to and then apparently taking them to an auction house, presumably to take them to be killed (Inhumanely?).

She told me that the there are bad politics between animal lovers and animal control down there, especially over the subject of older animals. She said that the animal control in LA County don't believe in letting older animals be adopted, stay in shelters, etc. That is why these horses are being killed, because they're older. Linda said that several of the horses on the shelter property are blind, but that they are happy and have friends.
Of course this is a timely situation right now. It's incredible that they'd want to kill the animals that are older just because they're older.

Was swat at tiger ranch?
just wondering since when does swat go to a raid at a rescue?
Why was this woman allowed to do what she did with her plates?

A woman named Gail Kaye is responsible for the death of every horse on that property, that Mayeda murders. Kaye was at the Equus Sanctuary last week, trespassing, she was seeking to get free horses, and representing herself as an employee of LA animal control. She wouldn't leave the property and had to be forcibly removed by the sheriff's office. In retaliation for not obtaining free horses, she conspired with Marcia Mayeda, Sherry Koenig and the rest of the killer crew to go out and destroy the whole sanctuary. Kaye is there right now with her horse trailer picking out the cream of the crop, and picking up free horses in her white ford F350 long bed pickup truck with a horse trailer, with tape on her license plate so that no one will know who she is, all of which is illegal and they should arrest her for it.

Yes, I'll be the first to admit the woman who wrote this was frantic. My problem with her being frantic is her begging AR people to come with cameras, videos or just witnesses. Not something a guilty person usually does. The horses are our main concern and I believe without Brenda's news here, many more would never know about what took place there last night. Just as we are not sure about it, note we have no real evidence about what you're saying is true. Something happened there last night and horses died, that we all agree upon. I'd like give Brenda a medal, for in my opinion she has saved the other 90 horses lives by getting the word out there. Oh and I did send messages to all the AR groups I could think of so we might actually be able to get to the bottom of this. PETA still needs to be notified if somebody has ties there and can ask them to investigate this.
