The Cruel, Corrupt Treatment of Horses

By on • ( 6 Comments )

Horses hold an iconic place in our nation’s history. Without Paul Revere’s trusty steed, Brown Betty, the colonists in New England might have never known of the British forces’ late night advance toward Lexington. As American settlers moved west to the Pacific, horses pulled covered wagons and plowed fields on new homesteads. Horses accompanied many of our military commanders into battle, and horses still carry our fallen soldiers to their final resting places at Arlington National Cemetery.

Below the West Front of the U.S. Capitol is one of our nation’s most famous statues honoring Civil War Gen. and former President Ulysses S. Grant. In front of the White House is former President Andrew Jackson, and in D.C.’s historic Foggy Bottom area is former President George Washington. Carved into the stone with these famous riders are the horses that carried them into battle.

The Art of Deception

By on • ( 29 Comments )

Sue Wallis [or whoever pens her ramblings] has mastered the art of writing fictitious statements and making them sound feasible.

In a cover letter to the release of her latest piece of fiction, she states her paper is a representation of the horse industry. Where is the data to back that statement? She is well known for making baseless statements and then when challenged, she cuts and runs.

She wants to kill horses. Period. How is that going to help the beleaguered horse industry that makes its billions from live horses? The answer is obvious. It won’t.

This is the face of horse slaughter. She’s a 4-year-old thoroughbred filly, a New York-bred. She was born on a beautiful farm in Westchester County. Her life on that farm would have been textbook perfect, it’s an outstanding facility, with a staff experienced in raising top-flight racehorses. Eventually, she was in training at Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, N.Y., but she never made a start. At the end of last year’s race meet, her owner asked her trainer to find her a home.
