if you need proof, watch this video

Here is another example of how law enforcement in other parts of our country are joining horse rescue groups in our feelings about horse neglect. This one is from Texas. Once again, they go in and remove the animals and very quickly charge someone with inhumane treatment. No messing around trying to figure out if it's really neglect or not. Of course it is! There is a video at this link (below) that is very graphic. If you have not watched vidoes like this before, you might want to think about it before you decide. The images stay with you forever. And they are not pretty or happy images. The media groups who are brave enough to show this stuff are high on my list of "good guys." For so long these secrets of the horse industry have been silent and invisible. But now the silence has been broken. The images are real. And it's only when we know the truth that we become motivated to voice our own opinions and take action to join in the mission to make things right. If you watch this video, you will be able to see that most of the horses going to slaughter here are very healthy looking horses. They are not old, blind, lame, skinny horses. There is no need for horse slaughter in our country. There is, however, a strong need for more responsible horse owners and especially more responsible horse breeders. When they breed so many horses that they don't have time to get them trained and so they just send them to slaughter instead of training them, well, it's time for them to quit breeding. To them, it's just like taking their garbage to the dump. To us, it's like getting paid to allow someone to brutally murder our friends.
When you go to this link, you will be able to read the story first. It won't start the video unless you click on it. If you are new to all the fuss about what's wrong within the horse industry these days, this video will open your eyes. In a wide way.
