Horse Slaughter

Opinion: Unwanted Horses set Free – Where’s the Proof?

Alright, it has finally happened, I have reached the tipping point.  Day after day the American public is bombarded with main stream media stories about all of the “unwanted” horses that are set free and running all over the US.  To take the stories for their word there should be a horse on every street corner in America begging for a bale of hay or a cup of grain but have you seen one?  I know that I haven’t.

Equine author R.T. Fitch speaks out against "pro" slaughter fabrications


As a voting citizen, of this great land, I am shocked and appalled by the volume of mistruths and simple bald faced lies that are fed to the general public…I feel like an idiot as I thought that such a practice was both illegal and unethical and could never, ever happen here, but it does.

The tale of the unwanted and abandoned horse is a lie, in fact, a documented falsehood in the great state of Texas.  Every other day a green or inexperienced reporter is pressured by the pro-slaughter machine to print, or report, on a trumped up story about how several horses “were just let loose” because there are no bloody slaughter plants open to kill them.  What a crock.  Abandoning an animal in the state of Texas is a crime, where is/was law enforcement?  Was the Sheriff called?  Was an investigation conducted?  Are there criminal charges pending?  Answer: No!!  No, because there were never any abandoned horses to begin with and what the “pro” people don’t want the public to know is that even without slaughter plants operating in the U.S., more healthy, young American horses were butchered for human consumption last year than when the plants were open in the U.S…they are now sent to Mexico and Canada to be brutalized.

When is this trail of lies, deceit and blood money going to end?  Why are so many people interested in whipping out all of our wild horses and killing our gentle companions for pennies on the dollar?  When are we going to stand up and say “Enough is enough”?

I have reached that precipice, that edge where I sincerely can not stand it any longer.  I don’t know about you, but I am raising my hand and screaming “Enough is enough, I can’t take it anymore!”   From now on the perpetrators of the lies will be publicly dogged for the truth, required to supply proof, nothing will be taken as fact until proper documentation has been rendered.  It’s time to hold the media accountable and by doing so we may be able to drive the liars and the deceivers back under the slimy rocks that they have crawled out from under.  I am putting the enemy on notice and warning them that they have no idea of what or whom they are dealing with.

Let the battle begin…it’s to the death and the bright light of the truth will always make the vermin scurry for cover.

The Force of the Horse will not be denied.

  1. I find it impossible to believe that horses can even be slaughtered for meat. Anyone who has spent time with horses knows they are intelligent creatures and can be even human-like. It’s like killing our own–it’s nuts! Keep up the blogging to expose the shady, biased reporters.

  2. It’s 2012, and I’m hearing the same stories again here in NW Montana. I know the dog shelter is over-full in my community, and I know people can’t afford their horses anymore. So, this time around, is it true? I just heard last night that people are bringing their horses on mountain trail rides and leaving one or two behind. Urban legend or truth?

  3. people you been too passive you’ve tried to do the right thing the right way but the BLM doesn’t listen. what they do listen to is people like Clive Bundy and his group of terrorist with their guns. if you want to get their attention you gotta show your ass a little bit. we all know what they do with our letters are faxes our emails, they s*** can them. hell they don’t even listen to ecologist. these people are hell bent on destroying the Mustangs getting rid of them getting them off the range so that their damn cattle and sheep can over graze it over run it and destroy it. wake up and smell the coffee people you aren’t going to get through to the BLM. and yes I am irate upset disgruntled and overly emotional right now after reading this.

  4. I know you’re all doing your best and I hate to be a wet blanket. the people who are for these horses are doing the best they can and I realize that and I command everybody for at least trying. I’ve written a lot of emails sent letters and all that but there’s never any positive results coming from it I don’t have the answers . I wish I did.
