The Duke of Doink Returns from Under Rock
Warning: If reading one man’s honest opinion of a low life, self-proclaimed horse eating loser would offend you, then don’t proceed any further; the honesty and clarity may confound you.
Doink and Equine Terrorist Sue Wallis plotting to ignore science, fact and law while exchanging horse recipes
Sadly, if you have been unfortunate enough to be around the issue of predatory horse slaughter, for any length of time, you have had no choice but to run into the name of bloody, pro-slaughter extremest Dave Duquette the witless sidekick of equine terrorist Wyoming State Rep. “Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis. With Wallis leading the way down a path of blind lies, self-serving statements and threats against the horses of the United States Dave “Doink” Duquette has been right behind her picking up on scraps and never coming forth with an original thought, the veritable “lap dog” of all that is sick and perverse with American society today. Allegedly a horse trainer, Doink would brag and extol upon the pleasures of brutally killing and eating the very companion animals that he is said to earn his income through breeding and training. If you ever wanted a nasty email, sprinkled with expletives and uneducated rants, simply write to ole Doink and your wish would be granted but then…he disappeared.
All of a sudden it was only “Slaughterhouse” Sue publicly showing her ass and lack of education without Doink standing nearby licking her ankles; it was rather disconcerting as being compassionate souls, we did not want to see the young, nitwit come to any harm. There was speculation that there might have been an accident that befell the befuddled buffoon of horse slaughter or worse, a serious crisis for a family member and being individuals with great capacity for compassion we most assuredly hoped that it was neither. Then there was the theory that his young wife and mother of his two small children might have finally woke up and realized how detrimental and twisted his horse eating hobby was to not only their family business but to their young family itself; I mean, what sort of legacy are you leaving for your children? And finally the more learned advocates speculated that the money machine that drives the perversity of “Slaughterhouse” Sue finally had reached their threshold for stupidity and told him to just plain shut up as they had their hands full, enough, trying to keep the equine terrorist from Recluse, Wyoming in the clear and they just couldn’t handle anymore damage control for the Doinkster. But now we know the truth, we can rest easy that idiocy from Hermiston, Oregon is alive and still limping along in life as Davie was just quoted in an article from the Topeka Captiol-Journal, a true poster child for bloody horse slaughter. The ole Duke of Doink has been BBQing Quarter Horses and feeding the bute and drug laden meat to family, friends and clients; no wonder we haven’t heard from Doink boy for a while, he is wasted!!!
From the article:
Duke of Doink ~ photo courtesy of Dave Duquette on FaceBook
Oregon trainer Dave Duquette, president of slaughter advocacy group United Horsemen, uses his head to make the point. He wears a PETA hat labeled “People Eating Tasty Animals.” The Hermiston cowboy believes horses are livestock in the same sense as cattle, hogs and sheep.
“A dog or a cat is a small animal,” he said. “You differentiate them from livestock. You can’t bring a horse into the house.”
He said debate about elimination of slaughter as a herd management tool shouldn’t be tainted by romantic ideas of the American West. The horse glut is real and abandonment at shows, sale barns and public lands is epidemic, he said. Tribal reservations are overrun by feral horses exhibiting characteristics of inbreeding.
“Some look like dinosaurs,” Duquette said. “They used to take them to slaughter.”
Duquette said people shouldn’t criticize a food source they don’t understand. He hosted a show at his training center featuring a horse meat barbecue. “We get a lot of Seattle people here,” he said. “They ate it.”
He’s lobbying Congress to reverse policy on U.S. slaughter of horses because the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other groups are try to distort production dynamics of all livestock.
Duchess and Duke of Doink with live horse, for the time being
Golly gosh, Doinky, I just love all of your definitions and analogies…oh, I forgot, I used multiple syllable words there didn’t I, sorry. But Dinky Doink, it appears that your reasoning for eating companion animals relates to size, the bigger the better? So does that mean that you would eat a big dog or cat, or for that matter, being that we are discussing eating companions, would you eat ole Sue, she is big, REAL big and in some parts of the world would surely be considered livestock as we know horses that are considerably smaller. So how about that, Doinkette? You see, those of us who clearly care about our equine charges would put eating our best friends real close to cannibalism you stupid twit. Do you get that?
And the alleged horse glut? Even if there was one could it be to a trashed economy or more likely the stupidity of breeders, like yourself, that never went to school of higher education and have no understanding of simple economics or the principles of supply and demand. (That means the more you breed the less they are worth, numbskull)
Oh, and a food source that we don’t understand. You pegged that one on the head Doinky Dave ole buddy. We understand the horse very well but likewise we do not consider it to be a food source you mindless turd. What part of “I don’t eat my friends” DON’T you understand? How can you possibly hope to connect with and train a prey animal when in the back of your mind all you are thinking about is how good that creature will look on top of a bed of mashed potatoes and gravy, no wonder you are going broke but the part that you don’t get is that it is YOU that is upside down, not the rest of the country where 75% of the population believes that butchering and eating horses is barbaric, distasteful and UN-American.
Duqette Family Values
But to admit that you had clients over for a show and then you stuffed butchered horse-flesh down their throats, how cool is that?
“Just lookie here, Joe Bob, this is reining champion “Hates My Guts” and over here on the grill is his brother, “Life’s a Bitch”…the Bitch Burger is free but my Guts is 10 grand, ya interested, huh?”
Keyripes what a putz, and to have it put in writing for the whole world to see, priceless…the best advertisement for pro-horse America to see. What a wonderful poster-child for the unpopular and unwanted predatory business of bloody horse slaughter, you is a star Doink boy and a shinning example of what the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) is all about, yuk, yuk.
So folks, all is well, you can breathe a sigh of relief for the court jester of eating horses is okay, kind of, and back in the swing of things. He may be even duller than before due to all of the drug laden meat he has been eating but carcinogenic flesh won’t kill him overnight so we can look forward to a few more weeks, or months, of being entertained by the poor example of a self-proclaimed horseman, Sue Wallis’ own, Dave “Doink” Duquette.
Ya gotta love um.
Editor’s Note: The handle “Doink” is the official name utilized by Dave Duquette on the “Straight from the Horse’s Heart” blog and may not nor should not be utilized by any other member or blogster, it would just be very bad Karma!

But we don’t need to harass him just keep the truth out there in front of the American people as these deviants do NOT represent the bulk of Horse people or the American public in general. Wallis and Duquette are cultists who have serious issues with attention and feel that even being the leaders of the dregs of society is better than no attention at all. In reality, they need some very serious psychological help.
There is not only a lot of anger in my heart over their public perversity and blatant lies but also a lot of pity for the small and weak minded individuals that they are.

He does the slaughter is good thing because he has no use for equines over a certain age (well short of their natural longevity) and breaks ’em left and right with abusive training methods, poor ownership and a prehistoric human concept of animals as a product…not a responsibility.
He is also facing a severe contraction of equine ownership and use; ergo. he is freaking out that he can’t breed recklessly for no serious purpose, hanging on to the romantic myth of the West when they did eat equines and a decline in his profession….training equines (and even then, a small niche market).

You did that article proud! Put good ole Dinky D Right in his place.
Someone had an excellent suggestion about writing the Seattle Times. That is truly a good idea. Folks need to know that what they ate may well come back to haunt them…
Now to play devils advocate for one moment…is it possible that Dinky D said he had that BBQ but didn’t in reality? He may not care about the dangers for himself or his family but to feed horse to others–who may not know of the dangers–WOW. Irresponsible comes to mind. Major lawsuit comes to mind. He is setting himself up for a HUGE lawsuit–one that SS isn’t gonna back him on. I mean open mouth insert LEG OF MAN…his own.
Well Dinky D’s habit has just hit the net. I mean it’s one thing to release news releases that mainstream papers don’t catch or read. But geez, if I can find it without any problems–Dinky D you need some serious medical intervention.
I refuse to call him DD–cause that is the name of Michael’s Matz wife. Hence Dinky D.

I had just thought Duquette had got Doinked to death by chemicals… I see it will take a little longer.

Maybe not so long.
Remember that Dr. Marini’s research stated that bute is idiosyncratic. That means that it doesn’t matter how big the dose is, or how long it has been since the horse ingested the bute, the human could suffer a long, debilitating illness and death from something like aplastic anemia or cancer, but also (maybe it was in the Irish Veterinary Journal) that that death could also occur suddenly.
Not that I would wish these outcomes on anyone including this Mr. Duquette, just saying.
Found an article in the horse tonight where 1400 horse owners were surveyed about their use of NSAIDS on their horses. There was a breakdown of individual products, but this survey was not directed to the racing industry, but included some breed associations and horses engaged in a variety of equine activities. The results: 96 percent of horse owners used NSAIDS in their horses to 10 years of age while 92 percent used NSAIDS in their horses over 10. So just how safe is the meat of US horses?
The law suit to win won’t be filed against Dave Duquette. If you want blood, don’t eat a turnip.
Really enjoyed this article, R. T. So tired of this nonsense.

I just sent an email to the President of the Arabian Professional and Amaetur Horse Association for their little article in support of
slaughter thanking the BOD of the Arabian Horse Association for their support

DD is an illiterate, uneducated dork. He trains horses for a living- or so he claims. The equine economy is in the tank because of over-breeding and the blatant greed of breeders and the associations they are members of, so most horse trainers nowadays have very few customers. The really scuzzy, sorry horse trainers probably don’t have any horses to train a’tall. So, DD hasn’t been hiding. No sirree. He’s probably just at his real job- washing dishes down at the truck stop greasy spoon. It’s one of the only jobs he’s qualified for- if he can find a joint to work that’s not very choosy about what kind of sleaze touches their dishes. Dish washers don’t have to know no good grammur or spellin, or have no sense, or be very picky what they choose to eat, how they look, or whether they’re blithering fools, or nuthin else. Besides, DD needs that job. Fighting child abuse charges for knowingly feeding poison to your children and probably to the children of others, is going to be expensive!
If anybody knows of any other good jobs like cleaning sewers, where having a mind doesn’t matter, give DD a call. He needs the work.

Sue Wallis For your information I do not own any horses personally, and we do not breed horses. But I am absolutely an advocate and a champion of the rights of anyone who does, and for the right of any horse owner to determine what their horses will be used for, for their right to profit from them, to sell them to whatever market exists, and to try and make sure that our horseback culture can survive. I have and will continue to work to make sure that horse people keep their constitutional rights to own and benefit from their animals. No one condones abuse, and I certainly do not…but using an animal for food is not abuse so long as it is done right. We raise beef as our main source of income, but we also raise chickens, pigs, turkey and we butcher a lot of our own meat including wild game. I have not butchered a horse, but I have no objections to someone else doing so, and I have enjoyed horse meat that others have prepared. It is good meat. Because I care very much about horses and their welfare, and because this has become such a critical issue I have gone out of my way to visit horse plants and to learn as much as I possibly can about how they operate, what could be done to make them better, and the kind of safeguards we would need to have in place to ensure that horses are handled right.

These videos are interviews of a horse killer, who for decades, bought and shipped horses to slaughter for human consumption. He and his associates also rounded up Wild Horses for slaughter.
After leaving the business, his conclusion was that the entire industry was inhumane, cruel, lacking in transparency and with a profit margin was so small that it could never be regulated to be humane by any standards.That this was a business that was good for neither people nor horses
