Pro-Slaughter Advocates Want THIS Back in Force
“A recent investigation by Animal’s Angels reveals the horrors that horses face at rendering plants in the United States. Although plants, of the same genre, no longer operate in the U.S. to butcher equine companions for human consumption the practice of cruel ripping the life out of horses exists to feed their flesh, bones and hides to zoo animals. This is the sort of inhumanity that the likes of Sue Wallis, Dave Duquette and their minion of mindless followers want to bring back, in great numbers, onto American soil and in a neighborhood near you. The reality of the cruelty needs to be upfront and ever present in an effort to stifle the ignorance of facts, ignoring of science and lack of good business sense that permeates the pro-slaughter movement at every turn. Pictures speak a thousand words. Thanks AA!” ~ R.T.
Bravo Packing (www.bravopacking.com) is a slaughter plant that supplies cattle & horse meat, bones and hides to zoos and other interested parties. Bravo Packing also operates M & S Pet Removal, a rendering service. Bravo Packing accepts and slaughters horses that could legally not be slaughtered for human consumption.
When investigators arrived at the premises, they immediately saw a large group of vultures circling over the facility and there was a strong stench of decomposing flesh. In front, large piles of different hides were visible. There was a lot of trash dumped onto and next to the premises, including parts of old slaughter equipment such as meat hooks and saws.
While the investigators observed the premises, several horse trailers and livestock trucks arrived at the facility and unloaded animals.
At one point, the investigators could hear what sounded like a horse scream in complete terror. Horrified, investigators stumbled across a barrel which contained a large number of race horse shoes with feet still attached. Inside the barrel were also many different halters and more meat saws. In the loading ramp area 2 large bison heads were found decaying on a pile of pallets.
Animals’ Angels will continue to monitor this facility.

I have been trying to getsomeone to do somethingabout this place for over a year. I live about ten miles from the place.A lady who’s last name is Servino has this owner on tape,saying how he uses these animals for target practice. She actually got one of the horses away from him. This has been a horrible place for years. These horses are actually starved so when theyare killed there is no fat on there bones. Everything I have tried has come to a dead end. He has the judges in his pocket. Please do something!!!!!!

Totally disgusting! Doesn’t New Jersey have environmental laws? Do the people nearby consider this foul place an asset? I wonder if it affects property values.
And under “Products” on the Bravo Packing website:
“All Beef Products are obtained from USDA Inspected Plants”
“All beef is sampled and tested for BSE by USDA Veterinary Technicians”
No sample testing of horsemeat? Do zoos and other customers know about this?

OMG it worst than concentration camps during WWII. Was this guy trained by Hitler. I live in NY and had no clue that so close to me we have such a horrifying places. I think we should raise more awareness of those places. Maybe a public protest by the facility or by the court. Maybe we should make a stickers or magnets and place them on our cars would bring more attention to it. And also by selling them we could raise more money for the rescue efforts. We have to let people know about it. We have to united people in that war.

Sorry I couldn’t watch the second video. Kudo put up video the other day of a mare who had been slaughtered in Florida–ALIVE. Apparently the person who did this stabbed the horse in the heart and then sawed off the legs while the horse was still bleeding out.
Apparently folks who eat horse prefer the legs…don’t ask me–cause I don’t know.
They couldn’t even slash her throat. It’s horrible. It’s beyond sick and depraved. There are just no words to describe how awful I felt after viewing this video. I even went and cleaned up the kitchen to try to think of something else.
Horse meat has not been used in dog food since the mid seventies. Or so they say…but now I don’t know. I mean some enterprising soul might do something to see if they can get away with it.
I don’t even know if dog food has to be inspected…

I agree with Malgorzata. Get a contingent of people interested and make flyers and bumper stickers if possible. You can also take pictures from the road. It is so disgusting, we too have a plant that operates out of Shippsewana,
Indiana that takes horses for other than human consumption. No one that slaughters horses has one bit of passion for them. Again, it is the almighty dollar and the fact that they are nothing more than someone’s possession. The work that the Animal Angels do is so hard to stomach. Despite what we are
able to see, there more shocking things that go on that they would not let us
see. All I can say is these people involved in these atrocities come directly from HELL and these demons continue walking about with us. Someone should expose them on Facebook and let the World see what they are doing to our beautiful horses. Just disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes we feel so powerless against these monsters from Hell. But we cannot ever give up. We
must continue to expose them and torment them like they are doing to our
wonderful horses.

Apparently nothing has changed. I recently started feeding my dog raw food and I found a local distributor and she sells this food. I bought 1 of tefco beef, but I never seen meat that looked like that so I bought another brand she sells. It’s bad enough they torture horses but as sick as these people are knowing they have a animal removal business as well does anyone believe they aren’t just throwing the dead animals in the grinder and selling it to? They sell 2lb for about $8. It says Beef on pack but knowing what I know now I doubt if any meat they sell is good.
