Your Help Could Make the Difference Equine welfare advocate, Frank Belardino, has produced a concise, audio Public Service Announcement (PSA) on the issue of horse slaughter to be distributed to radio stations across the country.

Along with a big keister, she has a big mouth. She’s a bully. She threatens. Tries to intimidate.
And while she casts a spell over a weak Wyoming Legislature by use of aggression, it hasn’t worked any- where else in the nation.
Imagine, if you will, that hypothetically you found yourself in the position of representing a very unpopular cause but you pursued it as it meant great fame, even though it is all negative, and a bunch of money in your pocket and being that you have had a few iffy fiscal woes in the past you embrace the new found income source.
