"For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear." - Henry Bestonfreedom, friendship, innocence, strength, horses.
IMAGINE ~ a violent helicopter round-up of these majestic & free creatures, where they are then loaded into a truck designed to haul cattle, so many on top of each other that they cannot move.... hauled all the way to the slaughterhouse with no rest, food, or water. The strong stallions have their eyes gouged out prior to this to make them obey & not kick. At the slaughterhouse, they are butchered one by one, still alive, as they use methods such as the stun-gun (designed for a cattles skull), NO HORSE is safe from this fate, even mares with foals. ALL to go to some fancy dinner plates in Japan, France, Italy, & Belguim.
PLEASE COMMIT TO STOPPING THE BARBARIC SLAUGHTER OF AMERICAS HORSES. THEY ARE OUR NATIONAL TREASURE, NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS WILD MUSTANGS LIKE OURS. Please support Senate Bill S-311, and take a stand. These creatures must be protected, they are truly the LAST free roaming horses in the world. THEY are what make little children DREAM of magical friends.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen."
-Elizabeth Kibler-Ross

The Humane Society Rescues Horses on route to Slaughterhouse

Horses have the intelligence of a four year old child, and the sensitivity of an autistic child. That's why they can "reach & bring back" so many of us. Their ability to heal sick children is still baffling "modern medicine."
“I am in favour of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being†- Abraham Lincoln."Even legends such as Ferdinand, the 1986 Kentucky Derby champion, are not immune from this grim and painful end. Ferdinand was sent to the slaughterhouse in 2002 for consumption in Japan, where his meat was offered as an opportunity to "Eat an American Champion."
"I'm kind of sorry now so many were caught,'cause I have a lot of respect and admiration for the Mustang. For they really belong, not to man, but to that country of Junipers and Sage, of deep arroyos, mesas and Freedom." ~ Will James, Former Wild Horse Hunter ".. ..*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*BIRTHRIGHT~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Somewhere in the Valley of Horses,
Spirits like ours are born.
We run with the blood of the ancients,
Coursing through us like a storm.
Never do we feel the anger
Of the fire called Mother Earth,
For she is the passion inside us,
And she breathed into us courage at birth.We will fight the reigns of all riders,
Choosing instead to be free,
For we would rather die horses,
Than anything less we could be."
-Devon O'Day
"Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances ... The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action ..."D.H. Lawrence“Horses are all the things a truly evolved human should be,†Willie Nelson writes. “There are countless examples of their innate ability and desire to heal people. … The most superhuman thing about horses is the contrast between their unearthly strength and inherent gentleness. Humans abuse their power while horses use theirs only for good. I’d rather be a horse.â€

"In Memory Of All The American Pit Bull Terriers
That have died in pounds and shelters,
put to sleep for no other reason than being born the wrong breed:
That spent their lives chained outside with only a barrel for shelter:
That have been bred repeatedly only to be tied and left in vacant buildings when no longer useful:
That have been fed ground glass, gunpowder and hot pepper to make them mean:
That have died fighting, ripped apart, suffering in agonizing pain:
That have been tough, mortally injured, or left on dead piles to die:
That have been used as bait because they couldn't / wouldn't fight:
That were shot, stabbed, thrown out of windows,
and hung because they weren't tough enough:
That have been shot in the spine and abandoned to die of thirst, starvation, and terror:
and that have been set on fire.

"Show me your horse, & I will tell you who you are." - English Proverb
* * * * * * * * * * *(My angelic-self does a kick-flip into this when it comes to saving my friends, the horses...)* * * * *......."Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come."~Albert.Schweitzer
In memory of the starving, abused, 3 legged puppy that no one even noticed standing on the side of the road. I stopped my car, and actually saw this dogs face with such a look of hopelessness & despair, it was almost human. I got down on my knees, opened up my arms, and yelled out, "come here, little baby!!" ~ His voice shrilled in happiness, he was crying & screaming in HOPE, & he hobbled over to me & I hugged him & told him I wouldn't let him go back to wherever he had runaway from. "It's going to be okay, boy." I had dogfood in my car, and started handfeeding him. He was so sick, & so emaciated, that he actually started eating pebbles in the concrete when I didn't have any more food for him. Just as I was to pick him up & load him into my car (he was a pitbull, by the way), his "owner" rolled up. It was little ol' me pinned against a really big dude who was all cracked out. My ex at the time was also there, and totally took the crackheads side. (evil likes evil, what can I say?) I was in a domestic abuse situation at the time, & was physically threatened by my ex about trying to save this "stupid" dog. I couldn't stop him from taking the dog back. The abused little dog got taken away in his car, & we went away in ours.... but I couldn't quit. Later on, I decided to do some undercover investigating, since I figured, "how freakin' far could a 3-legged dog have gotten from where I found him, anyway???" ~ It took me 2 days, but I finally found an apartment manager who was willing to talk, and totally knew the guy, and the dog. The dude was homeless, a crackhead, and used the starving dog to make people feel sorry for him, & give him more money for more crack. I called the police. An awesome animal control police officer took over from there, & was successfully able to take custody of the dog. Not a day goes by that I don't think about this poor soul, and how NO ONE even cared as they roared by on their ways to the beach, the mall, the all you can eat buffets. But there he was, my little broken angel in disguise, & I was able to stop & do SOMETHING."

What breed of horse are you? Find out! ..Mustang, the wild breed of horse that roamed America in the 1700's and 1800's. Like the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. You are an outdoorsy character, you'd rather go camping than attend the fanciest dance in town. Matter of fact, you're rarely in town. You'd rather gallop like the wind in some huge wild prairie, and you're free as a butterfly. (Okay, maybe that's a bad analogy)...
You never have and never will have an owner... you're free!

A pit bull service dog assists this young man who lost both his legs. No other breed offers such strong, stable ability in such a compact package. With the help of his dog this man attends college and cares for his wife and young child, however, he has faced discrimination because of his service dog's breed.
