2. Regarding the following comment–some Senators’ Offices request your zip code when you call–that is all they want to know. This is a means of charting voter demographics, perhaps? Larger, more populated areas probably carry more weight than do smaller, rural areas–at least to elected officials. The U.S.Senator from your state is your Senator, regardless of which zip code you happen to live in and as such, should represent you as one of his/her constituents, regardless of your zip code.

   JF one suggestion: tell the people when they call up these offices to look at the zip code of the address of the office you are calling. They always ask for this. I fear that if you live outside that zip code the message wont get to this lady

3. Have to share this news:

   One of the lines I always have to hear from the pro-slaughter crowd is that slaughter is better than starving to death. While I myself consider this to be a questionable argument (somewhat akin to asking whether you’d rather die of pancreatic cancer or get stabbed to death by a serial killer in a dark alley), I also think that the availability of slaughter does not in the slightest affect the likelihood of starvation.

   We have a classic example of that in the news this week – almost a hundred horses (some reports say as high as 117) being starved BY a kill buyer. Hey, no one has more access to slaughter than Rodney Kankey — he IS a slaughter buyer. No one obligated Rodney and his wife Teri to hang on to horses one minute longer than they had money to feed them. Yet they did so, with the exact same disregard for the pain and suffering of the animals as any misguided hoarder or backyard breeder.

   News Story

   And you know the other problem with kill buyers? They’re such classy individuals in general. From the story: “Rodney Kankey, 49, is currently being held in the Fulton County jail on a $250,000 bond not related to the alleged abuse of the animals. He has been incarcerated since Thanksgiving for terroristic threatening and being a felon in possession of a weapon.” Terroristic threatening? NICE. There’s a member of society we’d all like to live next door to. Of course he’s a felon. Killing horses is a great way for a felon to make a living — you sure as hell don’t have to pass a background check to get THAT job. And as Joe at TB Friends has often noticed, you don’t have to be in this country legally, either. You can be a bottom-feeding felonious illegal immigrant and VOILA, horse slaughter puts six figures a year in your pocket. Yep, that is a GREAT industry we need more of, one that provides money-making opportunities to the scummiest segments of our society.

   Maybe he can move next door to Sue Walrus Wallis…I’m sure she’d love him hanging around with her family!

   In case you think I’m exaggerating, here are more details on Mr. Kankey. Dude is PSYCHO. A gun-toting nutbag!

   Horse slaughter has never been anything but an easy way out for people to escape the financial burden of horses that they can’t ride, mares who dare to come up barren, show and competition horses who get injured showing and competing and horses who got old. It exists for no reason other than the desire of some horse owners to save money at their horses’ expense. That’s not a good enough reason to keep supporting an industry that causes untold pain and suffering, and showers money upon people as scummy as Rodney Kankey. Enough already.

6. It’s amazing that he would hone in on locations. I’m sorry, but if a state is going to pass a law that impacts the entire country, it becomes a national issue. In the case of a horse slaughter plant, unless they are planning on slaughtering only horses from their state (which would put them out of business the same week they open) they MUST take calls from people out of state. If it is a Congressional member saying that, they serve the entire country, not just their state. They are voting on health care bills, tax cuts, etc. that are at the federal level and impact every American. They have to listen to the tax payers, not just their constituents.

   Oh, the humor in charging welfare advocates with twisting facts. How much longer are they going to keep saying that closing the plants crashed the horse industry and is causing increases in neglect? Closing the plants did not end slaughter. Why are owners neglecting horses instead of sending them to slaughter? There is nothing stopping them. Why is Canada and the UK seeing increases in neglect? The thought probably never crossed his mind that owners are hanging on to them because they fear if they sell them or give them away, they’ll end up on a slaughter truck. These are difficult financial times but they hold on hoping things will change. I would like someone to explain how 3 cents on every $100 earned in a $39B industry tanked the prices? Even a pre schooler could figure that one out.

   Honestly, you would think by now they would invent some new material that isn’t so easy to dispute.

8. Here’s a suggestion SHS & Doink, one that you should have been able to figure out on your own but we know that you are working with so much hatred for the horses you can’t seem to think straight. I’ll say this once, read carefully—-If you are in a business that requires killing the products of your business that you don’t have the imagination to figure out anything else to do with, perhaps, just perhaps you ought to figure out a way to become a better businessman. No need to take out your deficiencies on the horses, they had nothing to do with it. May I suggest shoes might be a good alternative, they wear out eventually so you get to throw them out, not nearly as much fun,as killing I know but then you get to go out and make more. Not the same thing as breeding but in time and possibly a bit of therapy you can make the adjustment.

10. I’m not a tree hugger. Heck, we had hardly any trees to hug on the RANCH I grew up on in NEW MEXICO. As we sat around our supper table eating MEAT, we talked about how to BALANCE the needs of feeding our CATTLE while still RESPECTING the WILDLIFE on our property. My father put NO HUNTING signs all over our ranch during hunting season, and poured out a hundred pounds of rolled milo and scattered it around in the center of our property. Savvy quail spread the word fast and hundreds came from miles around to dine on the buffet, while hunters tromped around the rest of the countryside wondering where all the quail had gone.

    The point is that one doesn’t have to be a tree hugging vegan to care about animals, about wildlife, and about preventing the brutal slaughter of horses. Those who would kill for profit are dead wrong in their spin that we who oppose them are from any different way of life than they are. We are, however, from a very different place as far as our consciences are concerned. Thank goodness there is an ‘us’! There’s no place I’d rather be than on their black list. Bring it on.

      (Like you, we feed our resident herd of deer to keep them out of the reach of the hunters…works pretty well and they graze amongst the horses. We help out the birds, even those migrating through, the squirrels and don’t begrudge the giant bullfrog his meal of baby Koi from our pond. Terry even has a baby raccoon that thinks it is one of the family and shares the horses feed every night. We enjoy what nature has bestowed upon us.)

11. The only fraudulent and unethical activities Congress and the Administration ought to look into, is Wallis. The effusive propaganda coming from this ultimate manipulator and the self-victimization just shows the level of insecurity. One can get diabetes or go into insulin shock being around the attempted ingratiating comments of Wallis. The hypocritical mindset is taking herself way too serious and the nearsightedness is in dire need of washing.
    Main stream America does not want slaughter, period. Life is unfair and Wallis will wallow in self-pity and feelings of inadequacy until she finds another way to sabotage the facts. “Good moaning, Sue” – you do pull tomorrow’s cloud over every day’s sunshine.
    Profit and greed are your magnet, and I hope you can only suck up to those stupid enough to buy your BS. Just as you tried to suck up to BLM in Denver in June. FBI ? Yes, they better be alerted as the proportions of your alarmist mentality only reflect that one of a fanatic.
    I find it repulsive how a WY state rep preaches the butchering of horses when in fact she never witnessed the actual slaughter of a horse herself. Most Wyoming folks must not know the Gillette mental case. And those who are sane and find out, are ashamed.
    I am posting solutions for horses, written by Hilary Wood of Front Range Equine Rescue. This is what energy needs to be spent on. Change for the benefit of horses and their owners, not to line the pockets of Wallis and her cohorts.
    SOLUTIONS TO HORSE SLAUGHTER

    Stop over-breeding, irresponsible breeding, backyard breeding (introduce incentives for quality over quantity breeding);
    License stallion owners; even a “nominal” fee might help deter irresponsible breeding practices;
    Increase brand inspection fees and use funds for low cost gelding and end of life (humane euthanasia via a licensed vet) programs;
    Strengthen cruelty statutes and ensure enforcement;
    Connect animal control officers with qualified rescues and other horse professionals for impound/seizure assistance so there is no excuse to not remove abused horses;
    Develop horse related businesses to take in former slaughter bound horses (therapeutic riding centers, riding academies, guest ranches, trail riding organizations, equine assisted therapy programs, wounded warrior military programs, youth camps, etc.);
    Increase quality and quantity of riding instructors and trainers to take on re-training of former competition horses;
    Encourage non-horse owners to become part of the horse industry (participate in horse related events, sponsor programs, job creation);
    Develop quality intern/apprenticeship programs to work with horses (domestic & wild);
    Develop more equine studies programs to bring more people into the horse industry and programs which utilize horses in appropriate ways;
    Support and develop more programs like Front Range Equine Rescue’s “Stop the Backyard Breeder” and “Trails End” programs;
    Improve tracking of stolen horses and prosecute offenders;
    Educate new, existing, potential horse owners on responsible horse care;
    Provide community hay banks, feed co-ops for both good and bad economic times;
    Educate on re-homing of horses (safe advertising, networking);
    Develop businesses which offer burial/cremation services;
    Educate on injury prevention and rehab services to improve a horse’s chance to return to work, even modified;
    Develop prison and community service programs to help with re-training of horses (i.e., off track, mustang programs).

    Know that humans are the problem, not the horses!

12. More good ideas from Front Range Equine Rescue: (pay attention Sue)
    With regard to horses going to slaughter that you refer to as unwanted, see attached outline of slaughter solutions above. Bottom line is for every horse slaughtered, there is one less consumer for providing hay/feed, vet care, farrier services, boarding or buyer of a horse property (which means shelter, fencing, round pen, arena, and all of the other supplies for horse care), apparel, tack, truck and trailer and all of the other horse related items an owner might purchase during the course of horse ownership. I also include in this the possibility of lessons, training, showing, belonging to a trail club or other horse related group. The horse industry needs people to own or lease horses to use the myriad of goods/services available. The industry also needs to realize horses are one of the most beloved animals and while many cannot own or lease, they can very much participate in horse related activities, events. Our organization proves this with all of the activities/events we host annually. We strongly encourage participation by the non-horse owning community as well as horse owners (past or present).
    Since 2002, our organization has run on a national level the “Stop the Backyard Breeder” program. We offer a partial reimbursement for gelding stud colts/stallions. Not every horse needs to be bred. Breeders need to have incentives (or should I say dis-incentives) to stop over-breeding and irresponsible breeding. You cannot go against basic economic principles of supply and demand. Market value will go down (and more so in tough economic times like now) when supply is greater than demand.
    In 2007 we implemented (on a national level) our “Trails End” program. We give a 50% reimbursement for the cost of humane euthanasia and 50% for the disposal fee when applicable. This program targets the prevention of dumping the very old, sick, crippled horse into the slaughter pipeline and also helps responsible owners during tough economic times when they need to do the right thing for their horse. We are not in favor of euthanizing just to get rid of a horse but I would rather see one humanely euthanized by a qualified vet than sent to slaughter. Both of these programs are open to anyone, individual, rescue group or humane society.

15. By definition, the equestrian world is about horses. Without horses every person who is part of that world – grooms to Gold Medalists, race track touts to Triple Crown trainers, weekend rodeoers to All-around Cowboys – would have to find some other job and some other dream to hang their hats on.

    What was the total value of horses purchased at Keenland and other thoroughbred and quarterhorse sales this year? How many dollars were spent and won in parimutual wagering? (2009 – well over $126,000,000!) How many purebreds were registered? How much was made and won at this year’s World Equestrian Games in Kentucky? How much at other U.S. equestrian competitions, polo matches, and rodeos? How many horse-related products were sold last year? … Multiple millons, likely billions of dollars!

    The answer to the so-called “unwanted horse problem” is for those who make their livings off the backs of horses to willingly give back a small portion to these wonderful animals … many that sacrifice blood and bone and sinew, and some their very lives, every day of every year, to please humans and fill human pockets. The answer is to help every horse possible to live a healthy, happy and useful life. The answer is to support horse owners who are truly in need. And the final answer is to show kindness and mercy to those that have given us so much by giving them a good and peaceful end.

18. Umbrage!! I take umbrage with these quotes! I’m not sure what umbrage is, but I’m gonna take it just for the sake of an argument:

    “There is a term in politics… some special interest group tries to greatly inflate the perception of their support by organizing mass email, fax, and phone campaigns-artificially-manufactured political movements designed to give the appearance of grass roots activism. ”
    Pot Black, meet Kettle Black. What exactly is the UOH if not a ‘special interest group’.

    “We have heard from agencies and elected officials that they get absolutely swamped by thousands of emails and faxes on environmental and animal rights issues.”
    And as regular citizens, we have a right to excercise our discontent by swamping by the thousands. It does not make us evil or radical; it makes us PARTICIPANTS.

    “Here we have absolute proof that this is exactly what is being organized to protest and try to prevent good honest people…”
    Whoa & just hold ‘er there, Newt. I am neither bad nor dishonest. What I am is disagreeing with you. That’s inalienable too, isn’t it.
    “… from coming together to discuss rationally and reasonably what can be done to solve horse problems-to ensure the well being of horses and horse people.”
    You can paint it up as purty as you please – but the end game is neither rational nor reasonable, the well being of horses at the very furthest edge of your concerns. And we want you to know without a shadow of a doubt how much we disagree.

    WE also have a Right to e-mail, publish, rant, rave, tatoo, t-shirt, FB (tho why is a mystery to me sometimes), banner, walk, march, holler, honk,

21. On the practical side as long as we have strong, healthy horses, man-kind could survive a number of environmental and economic difficulties. Horses can and still do plow fields, they can provide transportation of people, goods, and services. They can travel to remote areas with supplies that are difficult to reach by helicopter or 4 wheeled vehicles. We should have teams of horses trained to help people in mountainous, hard to reach regions (such as exist in Haitii) to be able to team with people who are first responders. I kept wondering why people who are supposed to know how to manage disaster relief don’t use this approach. I realize that taking a team of horses from one country to another may require certain vaccinations, but still, horses can do things that all our high tech creations can not. We must save our wild and our domestic horses.

    There is a fairly readable entry on Wikipedia about horse meat. It would be hard to cast it as in any way political. It does include words like taboo, distaste, pets, etc.

    I think about this Summit of the Horse as if it were a faux high school class reuinion called by the two kids in the class that no one wanted to hang out with. They knew the odds were likely that no one would show up but each other, so they decided to have the reunion in the most attractive place they could think of to draw a crowd—a casino in Las Vegas in January. Even so, no one really wants to come, so they try to make it a little more provocative.

    Meanwhile, why we focus on this, the BLM is probably in stealth mode.

    I am looking ahead. We get a new Congress in January. Maybe we can get a new President in 2012. I cannot support a President who refuses to intervene to prevent cruel and inhumane treatment of animals, particularly when he is the Employer in Chief of those people who are carrying out terrorism against the most beautiful, sensitive, useful companions that God has provided for mankind. To not call a moratorium in the midst of the insanity and uncertainty of exactly what is going on with PZP, PZP22, geldings, adjusted sex-ratios, non-viable herd numbers, and out-dated round-up procedures is administratively and scientifically irresponsible. To fail to provide shelter from cold, high winds, rain, and snow (which, left to their own devices in the wild, the horses could find for themselves) is cruel and inhumane. To fail to feel the horses a diet that gradually transitions horses from range forage to what the BLM will feed to horses in captivity is inhumane and bad management. Any decent horse rescue working with veterinarians knows how to tailor a horse’s diet based on the age and physical condition of the horse from the conditions the horse is coming from to where he is being rehabilitated, but it sounds like the best paid horse care takers in the country routinely fail to make gradual adjustments to the diets of newly captive horses. Meanwhile, horses suffering from dehydration are allowed to spend a night unsupervised with free access to water. Mismanagement to the nth degree, and these people want to be seen as “professionals”.

    The rest of the nation is living in 2010, not 1949. We know better, and we expect our government to lead not drag behind with all this dead weight called the BLM.

    To the genuinely hard working, good hearted, intelligent people who care about horses and the people who care about horses who happen to be employed by this draconian led government agency, your efforts on behalf of the horses and the land are appreciated. To the ranchers and farmers who are the salt of the earth, your work and respect for your multiple roles as guardians of the land as well as food producers and your recognition of the interacting circles of life is admired.

    To the people who could stop the terrorizing and traumatizing of wild horses, who steal the land promised for wild horses as the primary grazers, and then chuckle about it while sipping Black Jack, and inhaling cigars, enjoying slaps on the back in dark smoke-filled rooms while admiring your mutual “slickness”, I say, “Do not feel so smug because you connived and used trickery to win a bloodless bloody victory for your cause. Your willingness to use the dark of night to hide your true intentions from the nation you serve reveals the true nature of your character. You are not clever; you are a fraud. The American people are onto you, and they are onto your cronies. We love our animals, and we despise people who cause unnecessary pain and suffering to others whether they be animals, children, the elderly, or those who are ill or in other ways disadvantaged.”

    The BLM’s management of wild horses and burros in this country is broken and gangrene is killing our horses. Our horses do not deserve to lose their families, their homes, their health, their lives or their freedom because the government agency in charge of them is rotten. Don’t kill the patient; cure the disease.
