Sue Wallis Gloats - How Sickening Is This?!

"How Sickening Is This? The above screen shot is a conversation between self proclaimed horse eater Wyoming Representative Sue Wallis and a few of her readers. Are people pushing for horse slaughter to return to the USA REALLY heroe's? I don't think so...This post shows folks cheering because what happened today could clear the way for horse slaughter plants in the USA to reopen - learn more by reading this article in the Huffington Post by Mark Markarian. In the article, Mark Markarin, Chief Program & Policy Officer, The Humane Society of the United States, states, "it could cost U.S. taxpayers about $5 million annually to subsidize government inspections of foreign-owned horse slaughter plants." This should make ANY horse lover angry - pro slaughter groups have been able to package horse slaughter to the non horse savvy public to appear as a public service that benefits horses and provides a service to horse owners. The pro slaughter lobby's efforts to hide the true horror of horse slaughter by using terminology like "processing", "rendering", "harvesting" have allowed this atrocity to happen. You might be thinking - HOW could this have happened? Easy, a large majority of the American public is unaware of what is happening to our horses. It's the reason we started the billboard campaign and the non graphic companion website. You know that horses suffer at every step of the process - from transport to killing floor - many anti slaughter websites have undercover video of the horrors & inhumane treatment taking place at slaughter plants in Canada and Mexico. Many Americans do NOT know this. Horse slaughter is NOT harvesting, processing, rendering; it is horrifically and brutally slaughtering innocent horses who have given their lives (in more cases than not) for their owners. Slick advertising by the pro slaughter side has made it seem "ok" for horses to be slaughtered, it's NOT! The Angel Acres Anti Horse Slaughter Billboard Campaign is a grassroots effort designed to change that, one driver and one billboard at a time. It is bringing more and more people to our non graphic educational website each day - we are averaging more than 10,000+ hits per week - and folks are learning that horse slaughter is NOT humane & that EVERY person can do something to stop horse slaughter from ever coming back to the USA. We receive no federal, state or corporate funding for this awareness and educational effort - we have undertaken this nationwide billboard campaign to expose the horrors of horse slaughter...we are a grassroots effort, the pro slaughter side would love to see us fail, so we cannot let that happen. We need your help to continue to raise billboards & awareness around the country.

Florida Billboard - Help Us Get It Up!

Finish This Important Florida Billboard? What do you think of when you think of Florida? Beaches, sun, sand, glorious times with friends, possibly Jimmy Buffet? You probably don't think of horse slaughter & the illegal horse meat trade... Did you know that horses are being illegally slaughtered in Florida - as well as being legally transported across US borders into Mexico and Canada to be brutally slaughtered for human consumption? . We are writing to ask for your help in getting a very important billboard up in Jupiter, Fl... We have funds to get a board up in Okeechobee, it's a small board with a low traffic rate - but we have just been offered an AMAZING opportunity to get one up in Jupiter, Florida - which is just 88 miles north of Miami (where a lot of illegal horse slaughter goes on) it is a huge 48ft board and has a super high traffic volume, meaning it will be seen by thousands of people each day and night. We are not funded by anyone other than you, our readers and supporters. We need to raise an additional $1850 to cover the Jupiter board...can you help us? This is TOTALLY a grass roots, by our boot straps effort! People cannot fix a problem they are not aware of & many people in the United States do not know thousands of horses are shipped to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered – DAILY. The Angel Acres Anti Horse Slaughter Awareness Campaign is a grassroots effort designed to change that, one driver and one billboard at a time. Visit the companion non graphic website Stop Slaughtering Us today. We receive no federal, state or corporate funding for this awareness and educational effort. PLEASE help us raise the funds needed to get this board up. You can click HERE to donate securely online to the campaign - Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization & all donations are tax deductible.

Sad Weekend at Angel Acres - Sigh...

Friday night we found Snuggler not looking quite right, we administered im banamine and watched. Saw slight improvement but within a short time we knew it was beyond anything we could handle as the pain was too intense.

Fast forward to 1:15am Saturday morning...

the vet (not our regular vet as he is away) had to euthanize Snuggy due to a ruptured bladder. We have NO idea how this happened - he was FINE one minute and in pain the next.

We are devastated by the loss of Snuggler - he was a wonderful horse & had just become available (he was seriously injured last August and recovered completely - details are on our facebook page from August 2010)

We thought that it couldn't get worse, we were wrong. After an awful, sleepless night I went out

to feed the gang and found Jamaica Punch down in the runin (he is the EPSM horse). The feeling of utter dread was something I can't quite describe.

We did everything we could to get him up - we called the same er vet back & she came out and determined his legs could no longer hold him up, (he arrived at our rescue 3 months ago and was immediately put on EPSM diet) he was seen by our vet 2 weeks ago and vet saw improvement, nasty thrush he arrived with was gone and he was making (everyone thought) good progress.

Sadly, he was humanely euthanized by the vet on Saturday (yesterday) afternoon at about 2:15 pm.

Losing 2 horses in less than 24 hours is something we have never experienced and we are simply beyond sad - we've only lost 6 horses total in nearly 8 years - 2 in basically one day is just devastating for us.

Vet said their issues and subsequent deaths are not related (they weren't anywhere near each other on the farm).

We were planning on rescuing 2 more horses in their memory but have decided to wait - their vet bills and necropsy costs etc are over $1500 - this has depleted our emergency vet fund & we must work to rebuild that before we can move forward. If you'd like to help you can donate via our website Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue.

We will rescue two more horses in their memory as soon as we are able.
