From the Mouths of the Inane Comes Words of such Wisdom
Horse Turds Don’t Stink
Yup, you read the headline correct folks; I am really a nameless turd in the disguise of a regular, tax paying animal welfare advocate just flashing my name around so that I can become famous for donating virtually all of my spare time and a good portion of my retirement funds to keep the federal government from whacking what’s left of our wild equines and stopping uneducated morons from butchering and eating some of my very best friends…that would be me, the nameless turd, well, that’s what the partner (or whatever) of “Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis has told his dwindling handful of horse eating followers.
Ole Rod McQueary (yes, that is really his name) has had a long history of inserting his dainty little foot into his mouth every time he gets near a computer keyboard and recently he has been attempting to divert attention away from the documented failures and lies (in my educated opinion) perpetrated by his wife (or whatever she is) by trying to stir up the last 4 followers of the Evil Princess of Bloody Horse Slaughter.
The horse eaters are beside themselves over the new, upcoming EU regulations that will all but shut down the European market for horsemeat as they require all horses to have medical passports which state that the horse has never been treated with a variety of medications (all labeled in the U.S. with the warning “Not for Food Animals”) which includes Bute and wormers. Posted on this blog is the short article by Steven Long where he quickly summarizes the facts and supplies all of the links to the OFFICIAL EU regulations (which will pretty much ban any horse that comes for the U.S.), but with their big fat heads buried in the sand, the horse eaters can’t even figure out that I only reposted Steve’s article and links.
Below is a friendly, open, public conversation on a rather well known social network site where the horse eaters with no lives hang out and stroke each other and lick their communal wounds.
Considers 5th Grade Her Senior Year says:
“<snicker, snicker> Like Fitch is considered an intelligent “source” of anything except by his cultist followers. Yeah right. Maybe folks should question Fitch leaving one of his horses behind too…”
Hey honey, I’ve got news for you, every horse that we have ever rescued and adopted has had, and still does have, a permanent home with us. They are not disposable but members of our family. It’s obvious that you have problems either reading or comprehending because the honesty of saving a horse’s life and enriching that of another human are clearly chronicled in my book. But that would mean understanding multi-syllable words wouldn’t it, sorry, I forgot who I was addressing.
Rod McQueary responds:
“Thank you, 5th Grader. Mr. Fitch prays each night at bedtime that nothing happens to $ue Wallis. Without her, he is just another nameless turd.”
I have to admit that you caught me Rodney baby, you are right on several counts. First off, I want to be a nameless turd and go back to reclaiming my private life and I fully intend to do that just as soon as the BLM stops the roundups and uses science and proper management techniques to care for our wild equines and when your betrothed shuts her big fat mouth; I assure you that I will then pull the plug.
Likewise, I DO pray every night for the likes of you and your Wallis squeeze…I truly do not want any harm to come to any person but I pray that either an Angel or a Wizard will walk up behind you two and smack you aside the head while chanting…”You now have a brain.” That would be a refreshing moment for all concerned.
5th Grader responds;
“Rod, I’m sure you’re right that Fitch thoroughly enjoys having Sue to target. If he didn’t, nobody would know his name. As it is, other than targeting Sue, nobody still has any idea what it is he does. Well, other than take inane and poorly thought out shots, of course. All par for the course I’ve noticed. They don’t have any ideas how to help boost the industry, but they have a lot of ideas on how to keep doing the same things that have been the cause of additional problems.
Same old mantras about bute, too cruel, nobody eats cheval or uses by-products, blah-de-blah…. Wouldn’t it make more sense if they participated in actual conversation rather than making the same arguments that have already been debunked over, over, and over again?”
Good grief that is a mouthful of spew and ignorant vomit. What I do? I can tell you that I have a full time paying job that funds our efforts to save the horses and I am certain that I pay more in taxes than a 5th grade graduate grosses in a year, that is a given, hands down.
Same arguments debunked? Oh, I forgot, there is a comprehension problem here and ole 5th Grade just gets things twisted around assbackwards because it is their bloody concepts and misinformation that have been debunked PLUS she is wrong that we don’t have any ideas on how to boost the market, let’s try this novel concept:
Center sound Equine Business principles around cultivating the concept of working with LIVE horses instead of DEAD ones.
How about that for a change? The industry garners nothing, except for the deceitful prolific breeders, from KILLING horses you elementary school flunky. You don’t even need a High School education to figure that one out!
Attracted to Bright Shiny Objects jumps in with a well thought out zinger:
“Dipshidiot IDAs”
Is that a run on sentence, a series of co-joined words or someone just attempting to learn English? I am cornfused as I thought that I was the King of RunonSentances.
I must say that I am tremendously moved by such an outpouring of love and affection but what confuses me is that I just checked and my buddy, the Rodster, pulled his above comment from the public page. Does that mean that I am not a nameless turd or does it verify that I am? For a moment I thought that I had found myself and now I find that I am lost and disoriented in the giant cesspool of predatory horse slaughter. Help…I think I am drowning or better yet I just might try to make a deal to bring the Rodmaster back.
Hey McQueary, if you can convince the disgrace of Wyoming and her lap dog Doinkette to crawl back into their holes I will go away and never speak another word about the lies, fraud, deceit and failures of your flawed buddies BUT if the misleading cow pucky continues to pollute the internet and the sensibilities of the true American public then I am going to be right there to speak the truth and counter with facts because we have the power of honesty and compassion on our side while your black hearts wouldn’t recognize a moment of caring if it hit you over the head.
Your call; it’s good versus evil/light over darkness and I can assure you that my spotlight is not only bigger than yours but it was made in the good old USA instead of over in Belgium…where I hear that they have little dinky torches.
The Force of the Horse© is NOT going away so put up or shut up!

So RT, there are really two points here.
First I don’t think there is anything wrong with being nameless. I mean, really, none of my animals have ever had named turds, that is, that I know of. Maybe they name them. I never have. Let’s quit on that point right there.
Second, aside from being nameless, what kind of turd are you? I would most likely want to be a horse turd myself. Time and again them, a wheelbarrow, and a manure fork have been quite good and philosophical company for me, to tell the truth. So let’s leave this second point about horse turds before we get any “deeper” into my social life:
You don’t really smell THAT bad….I couldn’t see you as any other kind. And I bet the horses would probably agree.

oh ok, lets see I have owned horses for my entire life 37 yrs. I KNOW WHERE EVERY SINGLE horse i have ever sold is at and what has happened to them.
I know who owns every foal i have sold, and umm smart ppl write up a contract that they have to contact you when they sell a horse , with a buy back clause that way you can buy back said horse, and you know where they end up. Also contracts come with a clause that states when horse is put down or dies you are told.
Why am I an idiot because I asked RT a simple question. WHere he states he gave away his first horse, BUT then again states he still has every horse he has owned. So which it is.

Pulled from context it makes little sense but being that I have devoted an entire chapter to Bob Adonis, my horse in Brazil, in my next book I will clarify…here is what I wrote above:
“…every horse that we have ever rescued and adopted has had, and still does have, a permanent home with us. They are not disposable but members of our family. It’s obvious that you have problems either reading or comprehending because the honesty of saving a horse’s life and enriching that of another human are clearly chronicled in my book.”
“Has Had” is past tense and that is primarily referring to Bobby and not to the rescue horses that we rehabbed and found homes for in Brazil, ones we did not adopt. (Back in the U.S. in 2000 and to date all of our horses are rescued/throw-aways) some were actually on their way to the slaughterhouse.
Terry and I planned to bring both of our adopted horses back to the U.S….regardless of cost. But 99.9% of all Brazilian horses, 13 years ago, suffered from the tick induced, blood born disease of Piroplasmosis. Infected horses were not allowed to be exported out of Brazil nor did the U.S. allow the importation of infected equines. We sought relief and found that there was only one, I repeat only one, Vet that could treat the disease in all of Brazil and he was located well to the south of the country but none the less we pursued this option.
Our local Brazilian vet was a good friend and consulted with the Sao Paulo Doc and informed us that it would be a very stressful 90 day treatment of daily IV therapy and the horses would have to be stalled behind mosquito netting under the watchful eye of a handler that would make sure that no ticks, mosquitoes, bugs or anything that could break the horse’s skin would come into contact with the horses for fear of infection or reintroduction due to the destruction of the immune system caused by the aggressive IV therapy. There was a very high risk that the horses would not survive the process with a final assessment that Bobby would never make it. He was older than Terry’s Apache and very, very high strung. In fact, it was not just a recommendation that Bobby not go through this stressful procedure it was a flat, “I will not do it to that horse” from the Doc. It broke our hearts…but we had an out, actually a very fine opportunity to ensure that Bobby would be safe and loved for years and also an opportunity to make a man’s dreams come true; and that would be to leave Bobby right where he was with someone who loved him dearly.
The Brazilian who owned the stables, where we kept the horses, had taken me out to his friend’s ranch to meet Bobby, originally. Terry and her friends had their horses with him and when I decided to locate an equine companion our stable owner knew just what I wanted and I now believe it was because he wanted Bobby in his stables. Bobby was, believe it or not, a registered American Quarter horse, a little small by U.S. standards but a most beautiful sorrel and our stable hand helped when Bobby came into the world and had been infatuated with him ever since. He helped train him to barrel race, guys do that down there, and he fell in love with a horse that he would never ever in a lifetime be able to afford. This was not upfront information but things that we learned as we all interacted together over a couple of years.
In short, knowing that Bobby could not return with us and even to try to do so would be a death sentence we allowed him to stay with the man who loved him and who had cared for him even when I considered Bobby to be my equine, adopted son. The day that we handed the reins to our stable owner was equally as uplifting as it was painful for when we explained what we intended to do, with Bobby’s approval of course, our stable owner fell to his knees crying and just clung to Bobby’s front legs…I will never forget how Bobby nuzzled his hair as if to say that it was alright. It makes me knees weak just thinking about it.
Hence the sentence above “It’s obvious that you have problems either reading or comprehending because the honesty of saving a horse’s life and enriching that of another human are clearly chronicled in my book.”
We still have friends who live in that part of Brazil and they have reported that they have seen Bobby proudly ridden down main-street with a very happy Brazilian man on his back…although I miss him, I know that we did the right thing. Not all decisions in life are a walk in the park and I am no stranger to pain but this decision shook me to my very core.
Here is a link to learn more about Piroplasmosis: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CHAQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPiroplasmosis&ei=9G8bUK6cE4n3rQe7w4GwDQ&usg=AFQjCNEJoZUIYV6Yhx8CceREV4B43cUepQ&sig2=_dILnyLVDoO4DQbiiQ5RfA
And here are some rather fuzzy pictures of Bobby, Apache, Terry and myself at home in Brazil: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/2723_1109313259550_4018156_n.jpg

I hate to do this but I need to reply to myself as I forgot to highlight something that applies to this situation and publishing the first book, overall.
I struggled with the production of that book as it is a collection of intimate and personal stories that I had written over several years about horrendous milestones in my life and in others. It is so personal that I wrote about the death of my mother and my father and I struggled with being so honest and transparent as to expose my innermost feelings to the entire world. (And of course there is a legion of carrion out there that like to stab and slash at anything with feelings or a heart beat.)
I remember the night before we gave the publisher the green light to move forward with the the book’s production and I was an emotional wreck as I sat with Terry discussing the ramifications of sharing so much with so many strangers.
“Am I doing the right thing?” I remember asking.
“What does your heart tell you?”, Terry asked.
“Oh, there is no doubt there”, I replied, “It’s about the message, the message of the horses and I made a promise to a very special friend and I am not one to break promises.”
“Then you are doing the right thing.”
“But it is so intimate and manly men don’t open up like that, particularly in public”
“Maybe more should.”
I remember smiling and Terry taking my hand…”It takes more guts to be honest than to lie and remember what your mother taught you?”
“Yup”, I sighed, “Sure do”
Terry leaned over into my ear and whispered, “Only real men know that it is okay to cry.”

There is no rendering in ohio expect for 4 hrs away and if they come to pick up said horse, horse better not be dead for more then 4hrs and it costs over 500.00 for them to pick up horse, OR how about to haul to the dump… it costs over 300 plus tons of paperwork IF the dump has the trailer to come and pick them up. In ohio the trailer must be water tight with no leaks anywhere. In ohio you CAN NOT compost or place in bone piles with horses. YOu see ohio is very limited on what we can do. ITS not the cost of the put down, its the cost and WHAT to do with the horse afterwards.

Senator Claire McCaskill (MO) sent me a letter in response to my request that she not vote for the Ag Bill unless it contained the Moran amendment to defund USDA inspections of horse slaughter plants. Her reply was long but the jest of it was that she was spouting back the same arguments that Sue and her gang are spouting. “It is because of my concern for the welfare of horses that I did not oppose the most recent effort to lift the prohibition.” (of slaughter house inspections.) Further she stated, “However, I reluctantly supported the decision in Congress because the status quo was not working.” She is referring to the transport of horses to Canada and New Mexico and the brutal transportation and deaths. Obviously, she has not researched the economic disasters to the communities here in the US, or the lack of taxes and fines paid. Apparently, the cost to the taxpayers for cleanup that has gone into the millions and the brutality these horses suffered at their death in US plants was not included in the information she reviewed.

I’ve run into the same blockheaded typed out in my area. I just shake my head that people could be that ignorant.

I thought you’d been hacked, too. Enjoy your self-deprecating sense of humor. Great piece.
If they want a suggestion on how to improve the horse industry, I’ll make one. It is this. Get out of it, or quit trying to get into it. Just stay away from horses. Get an ATV; you can trash it when you’re finished and no one will care.

Yes, I read about that. Hmmm. Maybe she just doesn’t have a very big vocabulary and I certainly am not going to give her help with anything. She will try to attack anyone if they don’t agree with killing foals and serving them up at the family bbq. Sick, the woman is sick along with her friends they need to be put on Ellis Island…if you remember what Ellis Island is all about. Better yet, on The Rock.

Stitt ~ Regarding your post above about “humane” slaughter of horses. You worked in a small, low volume multi-species plant. The way you describe of slaughtering horses can indeed be humane. However, that has about as much to do with commercial slaughter of horses as black does with white. Horses are never going to be slaughtered like that in commercial slaughter plants.
Commercial slaughter plants are fast-moving assembly-lines with an expected goal of so many horses per-hour. I think it’s 8 per, but I’m not sure of that number. Suffice it to say that they go as fast as they possibly can. They cannot go at the leisurely one-at-the-time pace you describe or they would not be profitable. NO, it CANNOT be done in the real world.
Kristy has a great reply to your question about foals. I won’t repeat it except to say she is 100% correct. What planet do you live on?

Stitt . . . Foals go to slaughter ALL the time!! You are living in a cocoon and you are NOT allowing any true and real information to penetrate. Foals at kill buy auctions, foals in transport, foals at slaughterhouses, foals being BORN at slaughterhouses, THEN killed. DUHHH!!!!
And RT, IF you are indeed a turd, your are our FAVORITE turd! Rock on dude!

Kristy,
I recall that our great friends in Canada witnessed and videotaped waste pits with foals in them at the equine slaughter plants in Canada………gee, what a surprise….NOT!
stitt evidently doesn’t possess facts of which he/she speaks and defends.

It is good to take a moment and laugh out loud at the thought that some of what you said may actually enter in one ear bounce around and splash some on the cranial cavity wall on the way out. I had an image of a deer on a headlight – “Hey what was that!”. Your outraged writing is so good.
