Bloody Horse Slaughterfest Boasts BLM Director Bob Abbey as Keynote Speaker

(The News as We See It) by R.T. Fitch ~ Author/Director of HfH Advisory Council

Your Tax Dollars Continue to Do Such Great Deeds

"Sue Who?!?"

Coming to a Casino near you; one of the most misrepresented and despicable gatherings ever assembled under the deceptive and inaccurate guise of Equine welfare; the one…the only…Wyoming Rep. “SlaughterhouseSue Wallis and her ever present bobble-head puppet Dave “Doink” Duquette presenting their pitiful and unwanted “Summit of Slaughter”.  (Lack of applause)

Yes sir, folks; gathered under the big top of horses eaters you will be able to hear and meet real life, rogue federal employees like:

Bob Abbey, the Director of the Bureau of land management and his official BLM wild horse exterminating buddies Dean Bolstead, Dr. Boyd Spratling and our down home favorite, wild horse sharp shooter Dave Cattoor of New York Times Video fame.

But the fun does not stop there; former Montana Rep. and horse slaughter promoter bloody “Red” Ed Butcher will be there to put his foot in his mouth while he attempts to elaborate upon the advantages of slaughtering and eating the proven carcinogenic flesh of our companion animals, the horse.  An embarrassment to his state and the Union “Red” will be teaming up with his feral compatriots “Slaughterhouse” and “Doink” to introduce a slew of speakers who are all either closely linked with pro-slaughter groups or simply don’t have clue as to what is going on.  (They are actually going to allow Doink access to the microphone more than once.)

So don’t miss this big event in Las Vegas directly after the Christmas holidays; it’s an outing that the entire family can enjoy as the horse eaters spew misinformation in an attempt to subversively profit from a bloody, predatory business that has been banned in the United States and sends shivers down the spines of sane American citizens…it’s a great way to extend the goodwill, cheer and rebirth of our spiritual well being fostered during the preceding Christmas holiday season.

So swing by Dave’s ole United Horsemen site, formerly the United Horseman’s Front – a more appropriate name, and check out the lovely agenda and the list of wieners, I mean winners that are allegedly speaking.  Then when you have had your belly full of perversion head on over to their Facebook page where you can “Like” their exciting drivel and then comment on the reality of their deception only to be kicked off and deleted.  Be sure to hit the “report page” hyperlink on the lower left and then tick “spam” when you get zapped; it’s the American thing to do.

So warm up the oven and sharpen those knives, the horse eaters are riding their give-away Dodge truck into town and they want to BBQ a horse near you…yum yum and yeehaw, it’s going to be a finger-licken good time.

Won’t see ya there!!!!

  1. Is this some kinda payback for the ‘summit’ earlier this year where the Wild Horse Advisory Board Council Association of Limp Noodles workshopped with Advocates?

    I gotta say – if bobabbey is dippin’ his boots in the fecal matter at this Eat-A-Paloosa fest, there are some dark and dirty dealin’s going down. It wouldn’t be a surprise, given the Bureau, Ag and Interior Department’s inclinations where Equines across America are concerned.

    Still, wasn’t bobabbey given the reins of a different section of the Interior? Managing minerals or some such nonsense? His appearance here, even as a guest speaker, would sure be a surprise given the recent media attention paid the Mineral Management Service’s ‘pants off’ approach to benefiting a very priveleged few.

    I think it’s best for all concerned if mr. abbey sent a polite ‘neigh’ to the invitation. It would not play well with the media, No Siree, if this event should fall on the media radar (which, as a private citizen, I would be inclined to make certain of). If mr. abbey, et al, were private citizens, then perhaps their appearances might be appropriate. But as duly-appointed Appointees & theoretical representatives of certain aspects of the US Governement, I would think this highly INappropriate.

    As mr. abbey, et al, do not speak in support of Wild Equines, they should neither speak in favor of their disposal by slaughter. It could very well bring on more persecution in the Court of Public Opinion (again, my inclination would be to ensure that as a certitude).

    And especially if they were to get paid for it.

  3. I wonder what the subject of his keynote address will be. As the official rep of a govt agency which uses every opportunity to publicly declare time and again they do not and cannot send wild horses to slaughter, being the keynote speaker at a pro-slaughter conference is pushing the conflict of interest envelope too far.

    Here’s a subject suggestion for you Mr. Abbey – where are those missing mustangs the BLM cannot account for?!

    No wonder the BLM was whining when asked the question of will they be there at the horse-killing las Vegas show! How many free vacations to ‘speak’ has Abby taken?

  6. Sue and the BLM could use a good dose of kindness. Its really sad that you people lost your heart and soul to the world of capitalism and money. Its mind boggeling that you can allow such a beautiful and majestic animal to be slaughtered and NOT have any feeling about it. What is it like to be a sociopath? I am so glad you are not my mother or family member! I pity your children to grown up with family who have no compassion or love of animals in their hearts. Too bad for you.
    However you will be held accountable either in this world or the next, for your actions here. There will come a time when you and only you will hear the voices of those you so brutally murdered, haunting you!
    I hope that people protest your sick gathering in the casinos. Your group (THE SICK BLM) remind me of Hitler. Your also doing the same thing to the horses that was done to the American Indian. Who is going to be next on the agenda? Will it be the homeless, the mentally ill? I feel certain this is only the beginning of a long line of annihilation.
    After you kill all the horses, then what? I can’t help but wonder “WHO IS NEXT ON YOUR KILLING LIST”?

In about the third paragraph they said one could join a No Slaughter list”; then later they said the donor must understand that the horse may be slaughtered. B>S>

  9. Well, I guess the New York Times will have to be clued in to the attendance of very high ranking public officials mandated to protect and manage our wild horses for optimal health appearing at a conference whose main objective is slaughter and eating of said so called protected horses. Now what was that NYT reporter’s name? Anyone know? Also, I suggest we flood Mr. Abbey, Mr. Dean Bolstad and of course their boss the Honorable Ken Salazar with their conflict of interest with their tax payer paid public servant jobs.

    But, don’t call Kenny Salazar quite yet. Seems he busy meeting with governors of the 3 states that hate wolves more than anyone on how to lift their endangered status so they can be shot on sight. Don’tcha just love these public officials? Perhaps they should give their own seminar: “How to Wipe out as Much Wildlife while in Public Office as You can all While Pretending You Actually Care about It.” Be sure not to miss the break out sessions on “How to Become a Spoiled, Selfish, Whiny, Entitled Cattle Rancher” and “How to Get Direct Deposit for Your Government Welfare Ranching Checks.”

  10. Sorry this is so long, but I’m totally pissed! This isn’t about “horse welfare”, it’s about bringing back breeding “full tilt boogie”.

    1. “PRODUCTION agriculture”;”restore the horse INDUSTRY in the United States”; “MARKET EFFECTS on the horse industry of BLM policies”; “horse SALES and horse MARKETING” – Could it be more obvious?

    2. Here comes the “extremist” issue again. There are already laws on the books protecting ALL U.S. citizens from personal harassment and physical assault. Have these people been harassed or assaulted? Then take the perps to court! Or is this more of a verbal opposition/hurt feelings thing, which I believe is our right (and THEIRS) under the First Amendment?

    3. What “abusive ACTIONS” have been taken by the HSUS? Has an HSUS representative come to someone’s ranch and harassed or assaulted them? Again, take them to court. If they have a problem with positions or petitions, they obviously don’t believe in Equal Rights and Free Speech.

    4. “… misuse of Equal Access to Justice Act funds by environmental and animal rights groups, who have used federal taxpayer dollars to sue the federal government.” – Maybe I’m wrong, but don’t plaintiffs pay their own freight in most lawsuits? Maybe they object to the Feds having to DEFEND using taxpayer’s money. Have any of these folks been involved in suits against the Feds?

    5. Humane Handling of Horses – How’s that “humane” trailering to slaughter workin’ out for ya? Things don’t seem to have changed much. And who’s inspecting the trailers or will be inspecting them in the future? Little or no funding = Little or no inspection.

    6. “… bring humane and regulated horse processing back to the U.S.” – Again, who’s going to be in charge of and FUND all this? The USDA inspects meat, not the states. Speaking of which, I didn’t notice anyone from the USDA (or FDA) on the list. Did I miss someone?

    7. “… enterprises already underway to build plants in Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Wyoming and elsewhere.” – DO THE MATH!!! How much will it cost to BUILD each of these plants? Who will inspect the plants and the meat? Will corporations (maybe foriegn?) get tax breaks (OUR money)? How many people will they actually employ? Will “Diminishing Returns” come into play once these plants run out of horses to slaughter, and fuel a demand to breed more to keep them in operation?

    8. Setting the high standard for humane processing of horses – “Representatives from … FEDERAL and state livestock PROCESSING REGULATORY AGENCIES …” – Who are they talking about? Is anyone going to mention a “high standard of food safety” re: tainted meat?

    9. How the U.S. situation is affecting the Canadian and Mexican horse industry, global impacts on meat markets, as well as import and export of live horses. – Isn’t this about the U.S.? If the rest of the world has problems with not being able to eat our horses, they can breed more at home and let the consquences be directly on their heads!

    10. Mobilization of the Horse INDUSTRY

    “Horse people (YOUR people) unite to drive forward a comprehensive agenda (YOUR agenda, hardly comprehensive) developed by horse people (YOUR people) for horse people (YOUR people).

    “We take back the reins (Keep your paws off MY reins!) and make sure that Congress and the U.S. citizenry understands (understands YOUR agenda) what is truly in the best interests of horses (“best interests” = OVERBREEDING, then KILLING them? I sure wish they could TALK!) and in the best interests of PEOPLE (They should have put this where it belongs, BEFORE the horses.) who seek to continue basing their lives and livelihoods on an economically thriving equine industry (I have nothing against folks making a living, just not on the backs of slaughtered horses.) that is environmentally (slaughterhouses = PROVEN pollutors), ethically (Guess those pledges made by Associations to reduce breeding will go out the window.), and morally sound (If you want to be MORAL, help provide REAL rescue, humane euthansia and disposal!).

    “This effort will include specific recommendations to policy makers in regards to sustainable management of wild horses and burros on federal lands.” (The WH&BP already has a program in place for “sustainable management” by 2013(?), so I can only imagine this has to do with the horses in holding, which AREN’T on FEDERAL LANDS, but federally-leased PRIVATE lands.)

    GOOD GRIEF, this is such BS!!!

Following Foster’s presentation, will be a panel discussion including those who have been on the front lines, such as horse owners who have been attacked by animal rights groups speaking from their experience. The objective will be to provide practical, hands-on advice and training on how to protect yourself and your way of life from radical extremist agendas.
    Frank Bowman, Horsemen’s Council of Illinois
    Mindy Patterson, American Federation of Animal Owners
    Denissa Malott, Victim of HSUS abusive actions, and her ongoing effort for justice

    10:30 am – Protecting our grazing & other rights— Karen Budd Falen, Wyoming
    Attorney Karen Budd Falen has gathered data and conducted research which exposes the egregious misuse of Equal Access to Justice Act funds by environmental and animal rights groups, who have used federal taxpayer dollars to sue the federal government with the objective and end result being the taking of private property rights of animal owners and livestock producers. Her discussion will include straightforward advice on what rights we have as animal owners, and steps we all need to take to petition the government for redress of grievances—a constitutionally guaranteed right of every American citizen”

      I find this statement a little puzzling; Laura, Grassroots, anybody who’s recently brought action against the Bureau – have you gotten your remittance checks back for the federal taxpayer dollars you’ve used to sue? Last I heard this was all out of THEIR OWN pockets, while the Bureau countered with TAXPAYER funds. (That may have been slightly off pointe; I realize Laura & Co. aren’t kickin’ around helpless animal owners or livestock producers but their funding is STILL private & hard to come by.)

      This whole soiree smacks of very bad juju; Equine Advocacy is a fairly cash-poor movement to start with. We have scientists & specialists & intelligent, passionate people all over the place but what we ain’t got is deep pockets.

      From the FB page, it would appear there is no aspect to Equine Advocacy they can agree with – everything we endorse, they take personal issue with. Ultimately, it seems for the UOH and it’s members, the ONLY good horse is a dead and dismembered one, and anyone defending Equines is subverting the American Way. It hard to wrap your mind around that kind of rabidity. And it is morally reprehensible that ANY appointee of the US Government would speak at an event of this sort.

      If high-ranking members of the Bureau can extend themselves to support an event of such diametric opposition to Equine Advocacy, they can damn sure extend themselves to support, even in some small token Pat-the-Crazy-Horse-People-on-the-Head manner, the animals they are charged with caring for rather than finding more expensive and creative means to destroy them.

  25. Maybe we can help SAVE some horses by voting on PEPSI REFRESH. Doesn’t cost a dime, just some of our time. The December contest starts today. You sign up and sign in each day to get 10 votes from any single email address (or maybe a single computer – I don’t know how they track). You can also vote from your cellphone and on Facebook. So that’s at least 3 votes available daily for each of your choices.

    This is the Leader Board: http://www.refresheverything.com/leaderboard

    If you go to the upper right and search for “horse”, then click on “Ideas in the Running” (the only ones you can actually vote for), you should get 27 entries. I don’t know what the last 6 are doing there, especially the “capuchin monkeys”.

    You can click the “idea” to check them out and vote from their page, or, once you’ve decided who you like, you can do the “horse” search and vote directly from there, which is MUCH quicker.

    My first vote today was for “Borrowed Time Equine Rescue” in FALLON, NV, of all places! They want $250K. Does anyone know what they’re about? If they’re not good, I don’t want to waste my vote.

    I’m also voting for Mid-America Horse Rescue ($25K), The Animals Voice ($25K), H.O.R.S.E. Inc. ($25K), Kathy Smith ($25K), and 5 other animal charities.

    I’m only voting to help animal RESCUES. Not “ideas” that are primarily about “rescuing” people by using animals. Just a personal choice.

    • We need an outline here for an umbrella Foundation for the wild horses and we need it yesterday. I have no experience with Not For Profits but we need a big one dedicated to the wild horses and saving their lives, families and herds where ever we can. With a base funding we could really build something that would work and help those who have been doing the legal and field work.

      We could put in our own .orgs also and all of us back them; RT and Terry and Laura with GRH.

      If we all get behind our own groups this could help bring in enough to put us on the map. Once there we can fish for the big grants. mar

      • The “ideas” for January were put up and closed for review at 12:01 this morning. Pepsi has announced they will run this contest again for 2011 with some rule changes, because people have complained about “voting irregularities”.

        The next opportunity to post an “idea” will be Jan. 1, 12:01, for Feb. voting. From what I’ve read, the posting process can be frustrating, since folks said they’ve hit the site as soon as it was open and were told it was already full. There have to be some tricks to getting in. We just have to figure out what they are.

        Then it all comes down to “networking”. So this month is not only a time to figure out “ideas” for 2011, but an opportunity to test our “network” by finding out if we can get and “idea” that’s already there to the top and KEEP it there.

    • I’m also voting for the ASPCA ($250K). HSUS won $250K last month – GRRR!!! Then animal charities that aren’t for $25K, so they don’t compete with my horse choices. Again, just a personal preference. Mar, there are two wolf rescues for $50K (and one for $25K – I’ll have to think about). Shall we try to get them some $$$?

      • Yes, I think we should… but need to check them out, also…

        This is an opportunity for many of us to get together and work on this process… maybe we need to request info for the January changes. If they fill up fast it is because people are all prepared to hit the send button at the same time…. itis just doing it quick like a bunny… mar

      • This is the link for “The Animals Voice” to get $$$ for former GOVERNMENT SERVICE horses and mules. These people have purchased animals that ended up at sale barns because they hadn’t been adopted or the adoptions didn’t work out. They’re currently at #86 for $25K. I voted for them this afternoon.

        We can make a difference for horses AND mules by working together. Try to get everyone you can on board. Our network will prove the power of “The Force of the Horse”. LET’S DO THIS THING!!!

      • Today’s update on Pepsi Refresh/”save our equine troops”/The Animals Voice. They were #86 on 12/1 and #56 today (12/4). If you’re voting, keep it up. If not, please get on board for these deserving horses and mules.

    • Updates from Pepsi Refresh on the 5 Rescues & ASPCA. These are now in order as they appear on the “horse”/”in the running” PAGES. Open the first, then the next two pages from the link at the bottom.

      Borrowed Time – 12/1 #9, 12/4 #46 (UGH!)
      Mid-America – 12/1 #154, 12/4 #137
      The Animals Voice – 12/1 #86, 12/4 #56
      H.O.R.S.E. Inc. – 12/1 #18, 12/4 #64 (UGH again!)
      Kathy Smith – 12/4 #222, 12/4 #170
      ASPCA – 12/1 #22, 12/4 #8 (YEAH!)

      I vote Facebook first, then SIGN OUT (very important), so I can Google again and sign in using my email address. Then its off to my cell phone. 3 votes from me EVERY DAY. If I can get my son to surrender his MAC & cell for a few minutes, that’s 3 more.

      I’ve already told you who I’m voting for, the method I’m using, and why. They may change the rules for next year, but the way I’m doing it is allowed for this month and is being done by the majority of participants. There are also private, reciprocal deals being struck between organizations, which is perfectly legal.

      R.T., if you don’t want me updating this here or on any other SFtHH post, please let me know. If you say it’s okay, I’d like to transfer this information to one of the “most read” posts and update there. Fair warning to all – if R.T. gives the okay, you’ll be getting brief updates every couple of days until Dec. 31st.

  26. Would it be possible for us to send a representative to this Fiasco in Las Vegas??? if it is do you think we could send someone, Maybe we could fund that person, by all of us collecting whatever all here could afford to donate for this very important Summit, I given a lot of thought as to who we would send and I think I have come up with someone here that I we would be proud if they would go there for us , Louie Crocroft

  27. I wonder if Richard Couto from Animal Rescue Mission (Miami. FL) would be interested? He was very helpful with saving the Walker Lake Herd. He’s friend’s with Simone and has a FB page.

  28. Arlene, I just saw your comment–Thank you for such a nice compliment. I don’t think the “Summit of the Horse” is going to go on without opposition of some sort. There are SO many people and organizations that are opposed to slaughter and they will, more than likely, be ramping up.

  29. Louie, Your Welcome , but I wasnt sure if they would allow any of us there, but I thought if we could send someone there to represent the Wild Mustangs , you would be my choice, I know you would represent us and the Mustang in a awesome fashion…….You have the greatest qualities for that…. I have read everything you have written here and you would be the very best ………Its not only a compliment but the truth as I see it ..

  30. Why they just call it “The Unwanted Horse Summit”. Are they really going to hear both sides? Does free speech work if goverment officals have made up their mind not to listen. I suggest you hear all sides. These Summits and elimation conferences cost the USA peoples and horse cost millions!! Big Brothers Ken Salazar and Bob Abby are removing the horse which did fine without goverment intervention. No one is allowed to look down on horses but GOD. I’m sure the horse advocates will be crying and the souls will be emptied after they hear” We don’t care about horses as a species.” “We don’t care what voters think” Maybe the next conference should be to have a slaughter fest of naure caring folks who get high on nature and not greed……

    This is the only good news that hits my ears for 25 bucks you can tune into a web cast. I don’t think I can handle anymore Mayan heart gutting of advocates.

    Do we live in the USA in 2011? Free speech (or) does Bob Abbey and others just appear to have deaf ears….

    • I had thought about getting the web-cast but I really could not stomach more than just a few minutes of this agenda. But since Bob and Ken are public employees perhaps a FOIA of their speeches would be in order. Especially since the denial of Brogan to attend means that those without the killer agenda are not allowed in. Also I did not want to give Sue more attention nor my $25.00.
