Slap on Wrist for Deceptive Equine Slaughter Seller

HARRISBURG – A Chester County woman accused of selling thoroughbreds for slaughter after promising to put them up for adoption will avoid prison by agreeing to enter a first-offender program.
Kelsey Lefever, 24, of Honeybrook, abruptly waived her preliminary hearing on four counts of theft by deception Tuesday in a Dauphin County district court. Prosecutors withdrew a fifth charge, that she had engaged in deceptive business practices.
“We agreed under certain conditions that she enter the first-time offenders program,” said Francis Chardo, Dauphin County first assistant district attorney. “She will be restricted from activities relating to horses.”
Chardo said Lefever would be banned for life from obtaining a Pennsylvania thoroughbred racing license – and thus barred from any racetrack employment, such as horse training.
She also will be forbidden from acquiring any additional horses for the two-year duration of her probation, the terms of which are to be laid out at a future hearing. Lefever’s next court date is an arraignment on April 19.
The defendant left with her lawyer after her brief court appearance and climbed into a pickup truck without comment.
News of the charges against Lefever, a fixture on the regional horse-show circuit and a champion rider and trainer, sent shock waves through the equine-welfare community and renewed calls, including from members of Congress, to ban the slaughter of horses in the United States and end the export of horses for slaughter.
There is no prohibition against sale of horses to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico, where they are butchered and sold for human consumption, primarily in France and Japan.
“This is a lawful activity,” Chardo said. “The problem is if the horses were obtained under misrepresentation.”
Lefever’s attorney, J. Michael Sheldon, said Tuesday that “justice has been served” in what he called “an unfortunate case.”
“I think it’s in the best interest of justice, the commonwealth, and my client,” Sheldon said. “Ms. Lefever is concerned about the safety of all horses, and this doesn’t diminish her love of horses.”
Prosecutors might disagree. In their written criminal complaint against her, investigators said one witness, a horse dealer, had quoted Lefever as saying: “I killed every one of those . . . horses, over 120 of them . . . Every one of them is dead. I don’t even know their names and there wasn’t a . . . thing [the sellers] could do about it because they gave me those horses.”
Lefever was charged last November after a state police investigation found she had sold four retired racehorses to an individual contracted by a slaughter plant in Quebec after having promised the horses’ previous owners she would retrain the horses and find them new homes, according to police documents.
One of the owners, Kevin Patterson, told an investigator that he gave his racehorse, a five-year-old thoroughbred named Beau Jaques, to Lefever with the understanding that the horse – which had suffered a career-ending injury – would be rehabilitated and placed for adoption. He also gave her $200 and 10 bags of feed to help care for the horse until it had a permanent home.
Lefever, who promoted herself at racetracks as a horse rescuer, assured Patterson that she never sent horses to slaughter, authorities said. They said Patterson later learned that Beau Jaques had been sold to a “kill buyer” outside the New Holland auction in Lancaster County.
When a woman who was supposed to adopt Beau Jaques told Lefever that Patterson was looking for the horse, Lefever told her, “Those crazy people don’t have to look for their horse anymore because he is in a box in a freezer,” according to court documents.
On Tuesday, Patterson was in court and ready to testify for the prosecution when word came that Lefever had waived her right to the hearing. He declined comment as he left the courtroom.
Animal welfare advocates said the case shed light on a dark side of the horse racing industry, but they had hoped for stiffer penalties.
“We are glad this person will be banned from engaging in livelihood that she could not carry out without engaging in fraud,” said Sarah Speed, Pennsylvania state director for the Humane Society of the United States. “But we would have liked to have seen a lifetime ban from horse ownership.”

What a disturbing outcome. This judge is not thinking. But hopefully it’s not over and the road will turn in a way that Lefever will be held accountable. It makes me worry for the upcoming case surrounding the beloved rodeo horse, Credit Card who was stolen, shot and butchered in a field and left to decompose right there until his remains were found. If she had been involved in human trafficking, Lefever would gone to prison for 30 years or more. But due to our own disconnect with other species, we end up doing them a huge injustice when it comes to…well…justice.

Some 120 horses sold for slaughter, for PROFIT, and under misrepresentation . . . and Lefever qualifies for ‘first offender’? Disgusting. She knew full well what she was doing and what would happen to the horses. She had intent to misrepresent and act fraudulently 120 times!
And she may have had a clue as to how horrified those horses’ owners would be should they learn of their horse’s fate. But it’s more likely that she just doesn’t get it.
There’s something terribly wrong with people like her. We should feel sorry for people like Lefever, but right now there’s more ‘hate’ there, than ‘pity’.
C’mon, bring on those private lawsuits. I hope every owner seeks some retribution thru the courts. If nothing else comes of it, someone has to stand for the horses.

THis judge’s decision was such a big miscarriage of justice I can’t believe it.

And, a driver’s license, with picture, should be required when dealing with someone so they know they are dealing with the actual person they say they are. This woman is a KILLER – and that she could be so heartless tin what she said about the 120 horses she arranged for death is really unbelieveable. I also believe this judge should be thrown off the bench as well. THat he could give such a miserable sentence is beyond belief. THis individual should never be allowed to have any horse, dog, or cat in her remaining life. My personal belief is she, as her killer buyers, should suffer the same fate that they are sending these beautiful horses to. Shame on them. THey don’t deserve any pity.

When we use the term predatory to describe the type of business horse slaughter is, this is an example of what we mean.
The positive side of this decision is that it underscores the need for a federal law, and, in my opinion, a list of persons who are known to have abused horses (or other animals).
This young woman was 24 and was established in the equine business world. She was obtaining horses on the basis of the trust people had for her. She violated that trust over 120 times. She intended to deceive.
I don’t know how the law in PA is written, but without written contracts, it may have been hard to prove to the standard of law in PA, that she engaged in deceptive business practices.

What a shameful disgrace and lack of law in the state of PA. Seems lawmakers were more concerned with Lefever than the horses she was paid to send to slaughter, and what a horrible frightening death for Beau Jaques and the others. I’d like to know why charges weren’t filed against the kill buyer? He bought those horses in the backlot of the New Holland Auction in Lancaster Cty and that should be a crime! Did he have proper paperwork (coggins documentation) to transport these horses across state lines to Canada and then cross the US border into Canada? Or did he get a free pass simply because his face is well known for transporting hundreds of American horses to slaughter in Canada on a regular basis? I believe lawmakers need to crack down at the auction level and levy fines on kill buyers and when appropriate, charge them with felonies & misdeameanors. Beau Jaques had a lip tatoo which documented he had at least one dose of Butte but yet the kill buyer got a free pass all the way to the Canadian slaughter plant and Beau Jaques became somebody’s dinner in Europe.
This case is sad for the horses and winners for Lefever and the kill buyer.

Pam, you are so right. What a dispictable judge and law in the State of Pennsylvania. As I have always thought, auctions should be licenced and overseen by an agency, making it a requirement of where these animals are going, by making it a requirement to prove who is buying the horse, where it will be located, and making it a crime and maximum punishment if it is found that a horse is bought with the intention of slaughter. IT’s about time these da___ killer buyers start suffering for what they are doing and the auctions are not without blame either. I think the killer buyers should be sent to the site where the horses go and they should receive what they sent these gorgous animals to get. These killer buyers are low lifes that don’t deserve any kind of help and should be regarded as human trash.

This is a previous yet — sadly — a still meaningful discussion. May Lefever rot, and rot verrry slowly.
That said, the core objective/humane solution here is to gain federal/legislation at the federal level that will prohibit horse slaughter for human consumption and its profit-making bulk transport: S.541/HR.1094, and S.1459.
With such federal legislation in place, humans WILL modify their current practice of ‘disposing’ of horses when that “garbage can” known as horse slaughter disappears.
Take the profit out of horse slaughter, and the failure to breed to market demand will suck the life out of the horse slaughter industry. Work to see that annual foal crop drops significantly, as no good will come of culls.
In any other industry, that excess is an unsustainable business model, and is damn dumb.
