“Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis and Dave Duquette Sink Even Lower
Float Scares "Slaughterhouse" Sue Wallis and Dave "Doink" Duquette
Chicago (EWA) – Sue Wallis, Executive Director of United Organizations of the Horse (UOH) and organizer of an upcoming meeting of horse slaughter proponents in Las Vegas has launched an eleventh hour attack on not just horses, but floats showing horses.
Wallis, in a letter posted on her summit blog, announced a press release from an obscure member group called the National Tribal Horse Coalition. The organization, originally the Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition, was renamed when it joined UOH in May of 2009. The press release claims the float “is an abuse of the reputation of the North American Indian” because a Native American is included on the float looking over the mustangs.
The float, sponsored by Madeleine Pickens, mustang advocate and wife of oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens, depicts the beauty of these American icons. Wallis, who believes mustangs are feral pests, has long advocated their slaughter.
The bizarre attack comes in the wake of an ethics complaint filed against Wallis by Wyoming resident Patricia Fazio, PhD. The complaint alleges Wallis has improperly used her position as a Wyoming state legislator and violated securities regulations by advertising an “investment opportunity” in a non-existent company. And there have been other revelations about Wallis’ dealings.
Temple Grandin, who gained fame as the designer of more humane methods of cattle slaughter, was being touted by Wallis as the designer of a horse slaughter plant in Wyoming. The plant was to be operated by the nonexistent company Unified Equine (a corporate shell has since been created).
This week Dr. Grandin informed Equine Welfare Alliance (EWA) that she has demanded Wallis quit using her name, and that she had designed no such plant. Other revelations about the Wallis horse slaughter summit have continued to surface, including the fact that several of the prominent organizations listed as sponsors were not.
EWA President John Holland said in a statement about the attack “I cannot imagine Wallis thinking this is a good idea. Sometimes people lose perspective, like when she announced a boycott of Willie Nelson and other celebrities because of their support for equine welfare.”
This latest attack appears to be equally feckless. Pasadena Rose Parade officials were contacted for comment but only provide official statements for the sponsors. They did indicate they were unaware of any issues surrounding Ms. Pickens’ float and that the parade would be held as planned.
Madeleine Pickens could not be reached for comment.

The float is beyond beautiful and done with Love. I am guessing there are Native Americans who will be very proud to see their heritage and love of horses has been so beautifully and respectfully represented in the float. It sure has our votes!!
I see that even the article embedded in “Simple Sue’s” letter above features beautiful wild horses standing in front of a mountain~as if each component in the scene is an inseparable part of *nature and American heritage*. In any case, it is disturbing that they not only oppose the float, but also the position this particular group National Tribal Horse Coalition, originally the Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition takes: http://www.ncai.org/fileadmin/ncai_events/midyear2009/NGF-09-017.pdf

“… this float is a perfect example of the romanticism affiliated with the North American Indians and their horses …” Over the years, the Indians have displayed plenty of horse “romanticism” themselves, and not just on New Year’s Day.
I’ve watched every Rose Parade held since the ’50s, and there have been Indian mounted groups and individuals in every one. I know because I always look for the horses. And there have been many floats with Indian symbolism, including horses, that weren’t created by, paid for, or sponsored by tribes.
Instead of protesting, maybe they should consider Madeleine’s beautiful float free publicity for “Indian Country” tourism.

When Native Americans vote to kill horses they vote to kill themselves. But then I guess the tribes that joined in this effort are already dead? It was the Horse that gave the tribes their ability’s, and it is the killing of the Horse that will damn them before the Great Spirit.

It is very sad that the Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition has strayed so far from a history in which the Lakota called the horse Sunka Wakan “sacred dog.” Even more disturbing is the presence of the Appaloosa Club as a summit sponsor given that in 1877 the US Cavalry attempted to annihilate the Nez Perce Appaloosa because the horse was faster than their own. When Chief Joseph surrendered at the Candian border in 1877, Chief White Bird took the horses across the border to save them from the cavalry. Unfortunately, it appears that some native American groups have joined the Sue Wallis Calvary and their shared goal is annihilation.

Does the same hold true for the Washington Redskins Logo?

Yes, Louie, Native Americans are very insulted by the Washington Redskins name and logo. Imagine if it were named the Washington Wetbacks or Washington Slaves. It’s pretty disgusting that big corporations/organizations in our country continue to denigrate Native Americans by modeling them as stereotypes, savages and worse still that these corps/orgs don’t acknowledge it as an insult. It would not fly with any other ethnic group, that is for sure.
That said, I’m not Native Americans but I’m pretty sure that Madeleine’s float would not been seen as a rude portrayal since it is just an acknowledgment of Native Americans being tied into the history of America’s horses. She certainly isn’t making them the focus or implying savagery as it is implied by ‘warriors’ on a ball field pummeling each other into submission.

There is not a concensus among the Native Peoples on much of anything. This group is a schill that I believe DD labored long and hard to get together with NW tribes persons’. In fact, some of the founders are members of tribes that historically never had equines as part of the tribal culture….they were whalers and fishermen.
I’m positive SS and DD didn’t come up with this assualt by themselves; they lack the foresight and intellect. Someone or something brought this to their attention.
I used to go to the parade. I haven’t watched in a long time. I will make a point of doing it today. Count all the equines in the patade, folks….then count all the cattle, swine, sheep, poultry……

Note that RFD-TV has a float you can vote for and last I checked, they feature equine beaters and eaters in their programming!…some other “questionable” orgs too.

Its unbelievable to us, that anyone could actually be offended by Madeleine’s Mustang float! Native peoples should be honored by her tribute, and I am sure many more than not, actually are! As Denise said, its a schill. Yet, knowing that they prefer to kill the beautiful innocents rather than come to their aid, and also say its for the good of the horses, its not so shocking after all, that it would make them crazy to see a float with beautiful mustangs, getting support from millions of viewers, live and on broadcast. It appears the pro-slaughter peeps, just cannot tolerate a beautiful thing! Disgustingly absurd to protest the float entry!

Regardless of their problems (CA), with good weather it is a beautiful event and I appreciate Ms. Pickens’ efforts.

I simply cannot wrap my mind around the stupidity and unabashed lies that are perpetuated by the likes of Sue Walrus and Dave Doink…I just cannot put it into words.
These two are the lowest life forms that currently walk on two legs within the borders of this great land. They will ignore fact, science, documentation and reality while they beat their drum for the blood of our horses. What sort of sick and perverted scumbags do such a thing.
One thing is for sure, we are on to them and will be reporting their lies at every opportunity…we are not going away. The general public deserves to know the truth and these two just prove my standing point, “you just can’t polish a turd!”
It’s a happy New Year when there are so many good eyes and minds open to the truth…all of you give me hope and strength, but I don’t see an OpEd coming out of here unless either Terry or Vicki T. kick me in the butt to do so…these idiots just wear me out.

I don’t think its right to ‘hate’ people but Sue Wallis, the Cartoors and assorted other horse killers..I hate them and wish their bad Karma would smite them dead.
Isn’t it amazing how horses never forget but horses have an ability to forgive and move on and enjoy life.
I also have the ability to never forget…but horse killers..I can never bring myself to forgive them of all the sorrow, suffering and deaths.

SS and DD will probably want to ban all horses on floats and the live ones from the parade next year. That is how much they hate them. What would the parade be like without horses ?!
And what would life be without horses ? I know of an instance where a woman would have committed suicide except she had horses that she had to care for.
Horses have been part of our culture and lives for centuries even in art with them as statues and in paintings. Evidently SS and DD have no appreciation of art or anything else except money. They can’t buy their way into heaven though and I think as evil as they are I know where they will end up anyway. Besides I bet horses will be in heaven.

Not that they will care as they are obviously sub-human themselves and only looking for profit from our tax dollars, but it might allow you to feel better for taking action.

The wild horses are stunning, but I noticed what appears to be jute in the lower left corner of one of the clips. The horses are running and sweated up, so they’re likely “formerly wild horses”. I wonder where and when this was shot, and by whom.
