~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Debbie Coffey, Director of Wild Horse Affairs, Wild Horse Freedom Federation, will co-host this show.
If you were able to view THE VIDEO POSTED BY TIM SAPPINGTON of Dexter, NM, who may no longer be employed by the Valley Meat Company in Roswell, New Mexico (which is attempting to become one of the first horse slaughter plants to re-open in the U.S. since 2007) you most likely were sickened by the sheer cruelty of Sappington’s actions.
Obviously, Sappington thought those who saw the video of him mecilessly shooting a horse in the head for no reason whatsoever, would be impressed with his self-perceived manliness. Instead, viewers saw a coward; a weak little man with no compassion whatsoever.
Join us as we discuss the disgusting Mr. Sappington and give us your thoughts on the video and what should happen as a result.
Also:
Horse slaughter plants re-opening in the U.S, the European horse meat scandal and other issues during a special 2 hour radio broadcast.

Hay R T the video sappington made is a threat against all animal rights activist right? Well isn’t this also a threat against congressmen and senators that are on our side, and should not the FBI be notified?

Tom, I make it a point NOT to ever post anyone’s home address, no matter how much I disagree with them or abhor what they do. I knew his home address, but purposely didn’t include it in my article. Hypothetically, if some nut case went to their house and did something, all of us would be lumped in as a group & stereotyped, (which is what Sappington attempted to do), and would be blamed, and there would then be a media backlash. Sometimes people don’t think things through. I urge everyone to remember that the pen is mightier than the sword. We have TRUTH on our side and there is much public outrage about this particular video and his mindset. Write letters, make calls, hold a rally, call into the radio show, but don’t do anything that would make you become a Tim Sappington. We’re here to do the RIGHT thing.

Right! Also, all this was written before we got the news via the Equine Welfare Alliance that the EU has just banned horses from the US from export to the EU. That is, horses slaughtered on US soil. I guess we won’t get the full must have passport ban until July 31, as stated in the EU 2013 regs.
This present ban is because the USDA missed the deadline for filing their plan to implement a traceability plan equal to the EU’s. Of course, the USDA had no intention of implementing ANY plan so they could hardly show one to the EU. However, I think the USDA could and should have told Americans what was going on with the EU, what their requirements presently were and what they would be in the future.
Those of us who didn’t want our horses to be slaughtered anyway didn’t mind, of course, but it doesn’t sit well with me that the USDA kept all this under their hats for three years. What else don’t we know?

Absollutely correct Debbie. We have to maintain our demeanor of calm, intelligent opposition. To engage the nutcases is to get down to their level. Remember it is ALWAYS to protect the horses and institute permanent protection for them against people just like the meathead in this debate,

So far the truth has gotten ten years of horses slaughtered since I have become involved (that’s about 1 million) because our side will not block the enemy’s bills like they do ours.

I called the Roswell police, to log a complaint against this POS, but they directed me to the Sheriff’s dept since he lives in Dexter, NM – not Roswell.

I wrote to everyone that you said to – I received this information back – seems no one wants to take responsibility:
Ms. Beardsley – Thank you for your email, this is not an issue that is legally licensed or regulated by the City. The location of the business is in the County. Chaves County cannot legally regulate this type of licensing either as it is licensed at a federal level by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
The USDA called me yesterday and said that it is now in the hands of the following agency:
Food Safety Inspection Service at 202-720-9113, although the media/radio/newspaper says it is still in the hands of the USDA…… I have been unable to find out what agency it has moved to.
It is my understanding from other citizens that the FBI and the local SO have been contacted to inquire about taking action on the act.
Thank you.

Tom: In any situation like this the other side will use it to their advantage by sending out their trolls, plants and sabotage agents. They would like nothing more than those of us fighting this horrendous thing to appear as militant activists. Notice….the meat plant claims it has received death threats from “terrorists”. There is no evidence that this actually happened, or that if it did it was from any horse advocates. But the thought was put out there to condition the public in to thinking that any one who advocates for the horses must be violently terroristic. When in fact, these alleged threats were most likely originating from places like SlaughterHouse Sue’s camp or other pro slaughter sites if in fact they actually did occur.

Absolutely correct…Its so frustrating and emotionally draining since we know and love the wonderful animals involved. I also wonder why the innocent always have to pay.

WE can’t ever give up the fight because all the rest are counting on us – “The Horse Warriors.” May “The Force of the Horse” continue to help us as we all fight the “Dark Forces” in an effort to kill them.

So, I wonder what our city, county, state and federal authorities would think if we all just carried captive bolt guns (aka, stunners, stun gun, cattle gun, etc) and when we had no use for our horses anymore, or our horse made us mad, or we decided the horse wasn’t the right color anymore, or ?, we all just whipped out our handy-dandy stunner and just started zapping? Many people have a lot of forest, desert, swamp, etc around them that they could simply do away with the horse, and then just leave them there where they dropped….
Sounds silly that something like this could happen with people encountering horses dead bodies all over after other people dispatch their horses whenever they choose? Well, until horse slaughter dealers licensing, and this applies to ANY person who directly or indirectly sends more than 5 horses a year to slaughter, is applied and enforced, what’s to keep this from happening?
Oh, that’s right, the “regular people” like we law abiding citizens are not allowed to do stuff like this because there are always rules in place for folks like us (and of course, people like us also do not arbitrarily otrture and kill anmals either)…….however, the low-life scumbags get away with all kinds of stuff, and when “caught” or if the authorities are going to make an example of them, they usually get a mere slap on the wrist and go on to do it again (and I think we all know that this is not an unusual thing for Tim S. to do and he has probably killed hundreds, maybe even thousands of orses, dogs, cats, etc because he is a sociopath most likely and has no sense that he’s doing anything wrong because the feelings of compassion, empathy, love, etc, just aren’t there……).
And what Denise wrote above is cause for concern because creeps like Timmy S. are prone to “push-back” when caught for doing something like what he did, and being the cowards they are, they do tend to abuse, torture and kill animals again (unless instead they abuse other people, so will go after their kids, wife, girlfriend, etc) but they make sure they aren’t caught….that man should be investigated and monitored to make sure he isn’t inflicting any more pain or suffering on any other animals (or people)…..wonder if Timmy kills and eats his dogs too? 😦

the thing that gets me is that the legal system and the media again victimized the victims, the horse advocates! All of those creeps have jumped on the Ricky bandwagon saying that they have received death threats. Fact is, i would bet that there were no death threats at all, at least from advocates. I’ve seen this crap played out before. It is a ploy to draw attention away from the criminals and put it on the victims.
