By Nicole Rivard as published on PagosaDailyPost.com “…upwards of 2 million cattle graze public lands, not to mention, sheep — compared to a measly 79,568 wild horses” I commend the Pagosa Daily Post for including a piece about the plight of America’s wild horses. However, Friends of Animals, […]
The Dodo-Heroes Series
By Erik Molvar as published on The Wildlife News There’s an organized campaign underway to get wild horses off America’s western public lands, and the livestock industry is both its primary salesman and beneficiary. It’s all about the money and expanding the livestock industry’s stranglehold on western public […]
by John LaConte as published on the Vail Daily “…holding facilities, like the roundups themselves, are often harmful to the health and well-being of these animals…” A Nov. 25 letter from 22 members of Congress, including House Representative Joe Neguse, urges House leadership to consider a more “humane […]
By Scott Beckstead and Marty Irby as published on The Boulder Weekly “We Americans are inspired by our wild horses…” We marvel at the sight of them living wild and free on our public rangelands, of stallions fighting for their family bands, of newborn foals learning to stand […]
We are going to turn the station knob, a bit, and pull it off Equines and over to Felines and Canines for today’s sharing of joviality and mirth. If you’re a horse person you are probably a well rounded, all-American animal person that gives home and shelter to other species such as dogs, cats, various birds and in our case, even fish.
It’s not enough that we have four (4) highly spirited and very amusing equine personalities that grace our homestead but we also have a Border Collie, German Shepherd and 3 cats that add entertainment and personality to our daily lives (the dogs are my crew, they must go everywhere that I go.)
Now take these funny personalities and do the thing that humans always do wrong, assign human tendencies to them and you can have a roaring good time, as proven by what the good folks at Freshpet did several years ago and I have been chuckling ever since.
BUT what I did not know was the what, who and why behind the story and that is where our Feel Good Sunday lands today, the good things that they were doing for dogs and cats in need.
Thanks to all of those out there who sacrifice so as to make life just a little better for domestic animals in need, there is a special place in Heaven for you.
Keep the Faith and let the laughter begin.
The Washington Post Magazine recently ran a misleading story on wild horses, focusing attention on anti-federalist ranchers in Nevada and the big money behind them. By failing to look beyond the superficial personality conflicts, and missing the real and important public lands issues, this article does its readers a disservice.
By Andrea Lans “I was just really impassioned, realizing as a horse person, I didn’t know that was happening with the helicopter roundups and the mass holding,” TOPANGA, Calif. — “Black Beauty” tells the timeless coming-of-age story of a wild horse and the human she forms a deep, […]
By Brian Maffly as published on The Salt Lake Tribune Over the objections of animal welfare advocates, the Bureau of Land Management plans to initiate a controversial program of surgically sterilizing female wild horses, starting in Utah as soon as this month with the planned roundup of the […]
