<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a lively and informative discussion of not for profit corporations, we had to do some research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question was posed, why would you become a not for profit instead of a non-profit 501c3?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It appears that there are some very good reasons to go the way of Not For Profit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not For Profit is a state designation, rather than federal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's significantly cheaper than filing for 501c3 status as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For $125 you can file as a Not For Profit in PA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may need to hire an attorney to assist you with the articles of incorporation, docketing statement and ascertaining if you will need any other governmental<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>approvals (for example, using words that are regulated such a financial institution, insurance, etc).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it's still a quick process and you can become a Pennsylvania Not For Profit in about two weeks, according to the PA Dept of State.</span></div>

There's a reason we hate broker owned programs. Kill buyers and unscrupulous partners profit from these poor creatures. Horses disappear. Sometimes, they reappear on other BO lots and then there's lots of finger pointing between the adversaries. How many times have we seen that in the last few months? Well intentioned people lose their money and have their hearts broken. In a world where real rescuers should unite, we've got a group of bottom feeders sucking the donors dry.</div>

Richelieu had told him to stop buying Thoroughbreds on the company’s behalf,

Sometimes you encounter levels of stupidity so high you just
don’t know where to start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it
seems so important to correct the misinformation being put out there by the
mouthpieces of these broker owned programs so that intelligent human beings who
seek the truth will find it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the last few days we’ve watched some of these women
(who apparently have nothing else to do with their days except endlessly post their
uneducated assumptions) really step up to the misinformation cliff
and lead their lemmings over the edge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the Broker Owned Programs are constantly vying for
each other’s supporter’s dollars by coming up with a better sad story than the
last, the jackpot just may have been achieved in emotional blackmail by
portraying horses loading onto trucks and proclaiming them lost to
slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to see the sad
pictures of several who were “shipped” a few weeks ago, and last week the tale
was told of four more being “loaded” despite promises of cash and it was even
alleged that Brian Moore tried to get them off the truck after he’d sent them
on their way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, and unicorns fly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been said before, but these brokers like Rotz and Moore
have many outlets for their horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gail
Christman, of Venture Farms in Germansville is just one of the places Moore
shuffles horses to:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember Steppins High Beauty?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was being sold by both a BO program and
Venture Farms at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it’s
not the first time we’ve heard that story, is it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The also load them onto trucks and take them to other
auctions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horses being purchased for
these programs are largely unsuitable for slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we’ve stated numerous times in the past,
these purported rescues have simply created a whole new market for the brokers
with horses they would not have bought to ship to slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The broker gets his cut, the “rescuer” gets
hers and the money clips get a little thicker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many people are catching on to this ruse, so they’ve now developed this
latest emotional blackmail of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>showing
horses getting on trucks and assuring everyone they’ve died a horrible death
because they were unable to collect enough cash.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where does this leave the legitimate rescues, with vetted
and evaluated horses?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sigh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They simply cannot compete with this kind of
heart wrenching drama.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course a number of enlightened human beings saw through
the ruse and called these lovely ladies on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That caused a tantrum among the mouthpieces that has been going on for
days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to show you a few of
their comments and correct the fallacies they are spreading. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is either a total lack of education or
else a carefully orchestrated attempt at continuing to keep the blind donors,
well, blind.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fallacy #1</b>: Fallacy
#1: This statement was made in response to Brian’s alleged request to get
horses off a truck he had already shipped:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Horses are not released once they enter the
slaughter house. Consider the basic fact that the horses are received in a
sealed truck at the Canada border. Consider the fact that the horses do not
need health certificates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are only
shipped with coggins.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can have a field day with this one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Horses do NOT ship with Coggins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do ship with several pieces of
paperwork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The VS 10-13 is the manifest
that shows all the horses on a load.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Each horse also has to have an EID form (<a href="http://www.kistlivestockauction.com/horse_eid/Canada_Horse_EID_Form.pdf">http://www.kistlivestockauction.com/horse_eid/Canada_Horse_EID_Form.pdf</a>).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before being loaded on a truck, each and every horse is
inspected by an independent veterinarian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The, a second veterinarian inspects the load, one who is certified and
compensated by the USDA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NO COGGINS
REQUIRED. Both vets are required to sign off on the horses, assuring they "certify" the horses are physically able to be shipped to slaughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The truck is not "sealed." The horses are off loaded and inspected at the border. Some are rejected and end up on other farms and holding areas. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<strong>Fallacy #2</strong>: The next two equine experts stepped up and said:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Not to long ago I heard a wild tale of two
TB's that supposedly made it off the Canadian slaughter house floor. I knew it
was BS as did most people. I think it was just another sham to scam money and
make a name.</i></div>

Cactus Café and Canuki were very much
rescued from Richelieu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is just one
of many articles on the pair:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Their trainer, Mark Wedig, is who
consigned them to slaughter:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In
an Aug. 21 interview, Wedig said he never intended to sell the pair to
slaughter and that he was unaware that Bauer, to whom he sold the horses, was a
well-known agent for the Richelieu plant.</i><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">After
horse welfare advocates raised the alarm about the horses’ whereabouts and the
search began to generate publicity, Wedig started getting calls from horse
advocates. He said he called Bauer, who told him Canuki and Cactus Cafe had
shipped to Canada.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I
contacted the firm up there to purchase them back,” Wedig said. “It’s never
been done, and it’s extremely hard.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wedig said he “can’t reveal” specifically
what he did to retrieve the horses and said that when Bauer gave him
Richelieu’s phone number, “at that time I didn’t know what it was.” Wedig said
Richelieu was “very accommodating,” and he drove his trailer to Quebec to pick
the horses up from a holding pen</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
The really sad part of the endless
blathering of these mouthpieces is that some of the lemmings continue to follow
them and their misinformation over the cliff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>None of them live in close proximity to the rescue they so ardently
defend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of them have ever picked up
a brush and helped care for the poor horses trapped on that barren dry
lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The laugh disrespectfully about the
FBI and joke about “calling Charlene.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
No tears, no remorse, no shock, just uneducated
drama queens looking for the next person to blame their troubles on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve certainly secured their place on the

Fantastic blog by Ray Paulick today, about another rule
breaker racing at Penn National.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please
click on the link and read the article as well as the comments below the
article.</div>

Drugs were administered illegally, and as a result two
horses from that racing barn were not allowed to race:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When questioned by the
Paulick Report about why Strong Resolve and Side Party Ralph were listed in the
Equibase charts as scratched by the stewards, the stewards deferred comment to
the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission. They also wouldn’t comment on whether
a hearing will be scheduled or a complaint filed against Trish Rogers. Multiple
messages left by telephone and email with the racing commission have gone
unanswered.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twenty-four hours
later, everything appeared to be business as usual. Kelly’s Endeavor romped by
seven lengths at Penn National for Mike and Trish Rogers, and the following
night they had another winner, Ninety Five South, who won his race by 4 1⁄4
lengths.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Rogers vehemently defends his wife’s actions:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“He had bled
tremendously before,” said Rogers. “This BS that horses don’t bleed is insane.
They actually bleed so much, they’re drowning. What she did was wrong, but all
she was doing was trying to help the horse.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rogers said his wife
“has never had a blemish on her record in 30 years. She’s worked very hard, and
to have something like this happen is a bad call. She didn’t deserve that.”</i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That
depends on you. However if your bleeding internally and I was your boss, I
would suggest you going to Hershey Medical Center ASAP. Am sure the Doctors
there wouldnt permit you to try out for the 440 meter time trails in 2 hours.</i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yes, if your work involves running a mile or so around a track. Trust
me--you'll probably code without medication, which could be illegal for this
"work". Thus, it's probably better to find some other work. You can
make that choice for yourself, the horse cannot. I'd bet he should be retired,
and perhaps someone with decency and compassion will find the right decent and
compassionate home for him. My prayers are with him.</i></div>

The comments are painfully
accurate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This horse should not be
racing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our racing industry is broken, but those words have been screamed by many and the fix is not appearing on the horizon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 4.5pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 4.5pt;">
Just a few days ago, we released
shipping documents for Brian Moore, who lives a few scant miles from Penn
National.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The documents revealed that
11% of the horses Moore ships are thoroughbreds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And while we can only speculate where he
collects all those thoroughbreds from, Penn Gaming has a zero tolerance policy
for race horses to be shipped to slaughter.</div>

In some cases thoroughbreds end up in the broker owned
programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are often unidentified to
protect the people who dumped them in the hands of the horse meat brokers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These groups are just as guilty of
facilitating the broken system and allowing the trainers/owners to break the
rules, all of whom continue on a lucrative course at the expense of the horses.</div>

Where is the accountability?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Here is the long promised analysis of the shipping paperwork
of Brian Moore, kill buyer and horse dealer from Jonestown, Pennsylvania.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the most recent information was
requested, it is difficult to be sure of some of the shipping dates as Moore
seems to submit paperwork that isn’t dated, by and large, and apparently the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency is unbothered by that detail.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
(you’ll need to download it and it’s a large file)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sobering note is, that these 790 pages of paperwork
document the slaughterhouse deaths of 7,140 equines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rest in peace.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of those 7,100 plus horses, only 18 were documented as
ponies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
38 were gray horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
translates into 1% of the horses Moore ships.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
153 were documented as drafts, which is 2% of his shipping
numbers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The number of Thoroughbreds he’s shipping is
significant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He listed 800.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That amounts to 11% of what he ships.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most folks know Moore and other local kill buyers have their
direct to kill pens – the horses that come off that backside and never get run
through auctions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Moore’s farm is in
very close proximity to Penn National.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Of course not all of those TBs came directly off the track, but
considering Penn Gaming’s zero tolerance policy, makes you wonder how many did,
doesn’t it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few other things of note.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ve all heard dozens of times that once the horses are tagged and on
the manifest, they cannot be pulled off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In this particular case there are numerous cases where a horse is
listed, then a line is put through the listing and it says “not on the load.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take a look at pages 476, 505, 546, 629, 638,
709, 713 – and there are others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On page 534 they slipped in a page from Leroy Baker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Note he shipped a mustang, and four horses listed
on his load didn’t get shipped.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now it’s possible these horses were rejected at the border,
but it certainly belies the assertion that they are absolutely gone once
tagged, or written up – you know the mantra.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We can’t be sure why those horses were removed from the load.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So repeat after me --- Brian Moore doesn’t ship ponies to
slaughter, especially minis, week after week after week as the broker owned
programs are telling you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And he rarely
ships gray horses – one in one hundred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very
few drafts are shipped by him – two out of a hundred.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What he does like is the big, healthy, beefy quarter horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And lots of horses listed in the “other”
category, which is likely a lot of Standardbreds and Paints, breeds of good
flesh and less bone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horses you
never see on the broker owned pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Consigned to their deaths without a chance because they are healthy and
will yield lots of good meat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lots of thoughts swirl through your head after looking over
the documentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But horse dealers
are horse dealers, right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some folks
call them unwanted horses, but for these dealers they are very much wanted, and
will make good use of them, dead or alive.</div>

"Just Plain Failed To Report The Crime"</div>
<br />
The words at the link above couldn't be any better stated with respect to cruelty that goes on weekly at New Holland Sales Stable, as well as many other horse/livestock auctions in Pennsylvania. The words completely explain and validate the message this group wants to impart to the horse rescue and donor community.<br />
<br />
(At the bottom of the page we have included a link on how to report a veterinarian in Pennsylvania. More will be forthcoming on other organizations to contact in the next few days.) <br />
<br />
In particular, these words very accurately describe what took place at New Holland last Monday that we discussed in this blog:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://theethicsofequinerescue.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-face-filled-with-agony-amongst-deaf.html">http://theethicsofequinerescue.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-face-filled-with-agony-amongst-deaf.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
We'll include some salient points from the page, but please go to the link and read it all. Thank you, Equine Protection Network. <a href="http://equineprotectionnetwork.com/general/fundraise.htm"></a><br />
<br />
(Note: all the words in italics below are from the link at the top of this page and are the words of The Equine Protection Network housed in PA) <br />
<br />
<b><i>PA and many other states have laws against selling sick, lame, or debilitated
horses and laws that limit the transport of these
horses except for limited purposes. All of the horses on this page and
at the links, were sold in violation of PA law as demonstrated by the
guilty verdicts in New Holland Court. All of the horses sold at New Holland
were during a time that Dr. Holt was employed by New Holland Sales Stables.
In all of the cases there were horse welfare organizations that either
failed to cooperate with law enforcement, interfered
with law enforcement, or just plain failed to report
the crime.</i></b><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>An employee of a business that benefits from the sale of an item, in
this case a horse, is not the person to determine
if it is a violation to sell the horse. <b>Any vet
employed by an auction/livestock market has a conflict
of interest with law enforcement.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>A vet does not determine whether or not the cruelty law has been violated.
The court does that.</i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>A vet does not determine whether or not the elements of a crime of
cruelty have been met, an officer
trained in law enforcement does that.</i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>A vet is the medical expert that determines the medical condition of
the horse. </i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i> <b>Horse welfare organizations fail to
realize that the law applies to them also. If a
dealer or "killer buyer" cannot
transport the horse to New Jersey, then neither
can they transport the horse to New Jersey. The
nearest appropriate place for medical treatment
from New Holland is New Bolton Center, less than
45 minutes away. </b>The law does NOT apply to people
purchasing horses<b>, only those selling or transporting. </b>The intent of the Legislature
is clear.<b> No owner should profit from the sale
of an injured, sick, lame, or debilitated horse,
nor should such a horse suffer from needless transport. </b></i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>Horse welfare organizations have engaged in heated arguments at the
sale and on the Internet and in the media because
an organization might purchase a horse and then
put it down, all the time missing the point. <b>The
point is that owners are the ones who need to be
held accountable for their actions and must be
taken to task for the failure to provide necessary
vet care as required under PA law, and offering
for sale and/or transporting the sick, injured,
horse. </b></i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i><b>The goal of enforcement is compliance, not taking owner's horses so
they welfare organization can claim they "saved"
it</b>. <b>The organizations rush home and put the picture
and description of the poor horse on the Internet
seeking funds to rehabilitate the horse. </b>What should
be happening is law enforcement takes the horse
into custody, collects the evidence to prove the
elements of the offense, and depending on the circumstances
of each case, <b>filing charges against the owner.</b>
If the owner is found guilty, then the affiant
asks the court for forfeiture of the horse, if
still alive, and restitution for expenses incurred
in caring for and disposing of the horse if necessary.</i><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><b><i>That is how an owner's bad behavior is punished.</i></b><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><b><i>Anytime an owner is given money for the violating the law, society
is rewarding the bad behavior.</i></b><br />
<br />
<i>
</i><i>The EPN is curious as to how horse welfare organizations plan on improving
or changing the problem of neglect or abuse,<b> if
they refuse to cooperate with law enforcement in
holding the owners accountable</b>? </i><br />

sink in a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But his suffering could

Sometimes there is no need for words. Sometimes you just shake your head at the stupidity of people. <br />

Here's how it started:<br />
<br />

mare,15-ish years old. 15.2 hands. Rode nice, neckreins. Pushy on the
ground. Travels sound but has an rolled over shoe job. FEE $465.00</span></span></span></i><br />
<br />
It seems this poor mare has been passed around and around. Several observers note she passed through one of these ever-so-reputable "placement" programs some time ago. The look of despair on her face is heartbreaking.<br />
<br />

Several people recognize her as having done the broker program dance before. :(<br />

What’s the truth, ladies?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Were you actually attempting to SELL horses that were already
destined to ship?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or are you lying to
your followers about the tags?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality again is that anyone can put a tag on a horse
and take a photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s not what
designates that the horse is truly getting on the slaughter truck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horse is tagged for identification
purposes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It becomes just another four
digit number, no name, no history, just a number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pretty damn painful to contemplate, but you
have to remember the mentalities that we are dealing with here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After tagging, the horse’s paperwork then has
to be signed by an independent vet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The same horse’s paperwork then has to be signed by a USDA certified
vet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that point a form VS 10 - 13 is
created showing all the horses consigned to the load and their identifying hip
tags.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
At this point, the horses can be loaded on the truck to
Hell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long as they aren’t rejected at
the border for one reason or another, they will die in a slaughterhouse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Moment of silence and prayer that death will be swift, but
we know that typically it is otherwise.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is clear in the middle of all this pain is that
somebody isn’t being honest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, a
number of “someones” are manipulating the truth and sucking dry the uneducated,
big hearted wallets of the horse world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It goes on and on and some of these ladies (using the term very loosely)
say they have to do this keep their names out there in the public eye, some
claim to be providing a service and some just flat out have to do it do survive
financially, making them no better than the scum that actually load these
horses and send them to their deaths.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
So here’s part of your painful weekly Education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>USDA tags don’t indicate a horse is
shipping to slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It indicates there is a potential
for a horse to ship, providing all the other parts of the process are
completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, it may just be a
fallacious marketing ploy used by those morally bankrupt individuals who make a
living off the blood of horses.</div>

Honestly, as we peruse the "programs and placements" this week it was another smack yourself in the head kind of experience. We simply can't believe the level of ummm, foolishness? that follows these women. Gray horses, ponies, ultra skinny horses and even resale horses. The plants are closed for two weeks for maintenance. But on Tuesday we saw this statement posted:<br />
<br />
ATTENTION PLEASE IF YOU WANT ONE OF LAST
WEEKS HORSES ALL ON THIS PAGE NEED TO BUY THEM TODAY . DON'T THINK
THEY WILL GET ANYMORE TIME AFTER TODAY. SO PLEASE LOOK THEM OVER AND
CHECK OUT OUR MAIN PAGES 1-2 AND BUY ONE TODAY OR SPONSOR AND DONATE
TO SAVE A LIFE. theresa<br />
<br />
And this one:<br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">The horses in this album are owned by a
kill buyer, they have a VERY short window of time to get to safety.
Location: southcentral PA. Please see our "Notes" for additional
information on fees, quarantining, transport, etc. If you wish to
purchase one of these horses please send us a PM. Please, no fundraising
on these pages (contact us if you're a 501c3!). <span style="background-color: yellow;">Deadline: Sunday 21st

Here's a beautiful gray appy. Moore doesn't ship gray horses. He probably got him for a song and he's being hawked for $500. Was in NO danger of shipping.<br />

Oh well, at least the horse is going to a good home, right? They all do, right? Because the adopters are completely checked out and you can return the horse if you need to, right?<br />

Another painfully thin horse, looks depressed but "seems" sound. Was not getting on a truck. Should have been taken home and fed immediately!<br />

And finally, a resale horse for $1200. If the accounts can be believed a really nice horse, but not a horse in danger. A horse in no danger of shipping being profitably sold by a non-profit organization. Ethical? You be the judge.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Certainly everyone has seen this article posted on
Lancasteronline.com yesterday calling into question the legitimacy of the “danger”
the horses AC4H peddles for Brian and Jen Moore are actually in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s what we’ve been saying all along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Jen Moore unabashedly proclaims they
send over 6000 horses to a violent death each year as way to make a living, and
she also admits that many of the horses are “unusable.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, they aren’t good candidates
for shipping, but they will tug at your heart strings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“What isn't clear is
if the horses are truly in imminent danger or if they are being selected and
sold on the basis of whether they can make money for the organization, not
whether they are the most needy. Also, what happens to the horses that have no
one to pay their "bail," as the organization calls it? What becomes
of them?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Six phone calls and
two emails to Christy Sheidy, of Bernville, who heads the organization, were
not returned.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Note we’ve corrected
the misspelling of Scheidy to the correct “Sheidy.”)</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve been saying all along that these horses are very
unlikely to ship, and Jen Moore even confirms that in her comment about the
horses “may” go to other auctions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’d like the writer to also ask what happens to the bail money
for horses that are bailed over and over again?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What about the horses being posted on multiple sites, including
Craigslist?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no transparency in the
financial end of the bailing process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well, there’s no transparency in anything going on in this saga.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course AC4H has made the news repeatedly of late, with
the FBI raid in late April and ongoing allegations of conspiracy and wire
fraud, and anecdotal evidence being shared by those who have dealt with the controversial
rescue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What was of note particularly is
that Ray Paulick, of the Paulick Report picked up the story and posted it as
front page news. He has an international following in the racing industry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.paulickreport.com/news/bloodstock/owners-question-practices-of-some-slaughter-rescues/">http://www.paulickreport.com/news/bloodstock/owners-question-practices-of-some-slaughter-rescues/</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The article talks about a breeder who was called with
chilling information by one of the out of state volunteers for AC4H.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many times have we heard that story from
breeders, trainers and former owners?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The caller told her
she needed to come up with several hundred dollars fast, or her former horse
was a <b>goner.</b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eerily reminiscent of another AC4H story that made the very
popular Fugly Horse of the Day Blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
lengthy, but you’ll see that scare tactics have been alleged used by this group
for years now.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also of interest is Christy’s assertion to Ann and Billie
that LuckyAllMyLife was owned by AC4H, yet they now state on their FB
page:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The horses listed through the broker program are owned by kill buyers
and brokers not Another Chance 4 Horses.”</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So which way is it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is really heartbreaking is the story of Granville,
owned by Melissa Martin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you imagine
the horror of being told your horse was sent to slaughter?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“"I sold him to a
show barn. Apparently in 2011 the show barn went belly up and he ended up at
New Holland," Martin wrote in an email. "He was sold to Brian Moore,
and AC4H was trying to raise money for him to be saved. Through many people, we
made offers up to $4,000 but they wanted $6,000 and refused to release
him."</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Martin said she and
other donors got frustrated because, although AC4H threatened that the horse
was going to slaughter if the full $6,000 wasn't raised, she knew the horse was
really too valuable to send there.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Shortly after,
all his information was taken off the AC4H website and they told me he went to
slaughter to fill the truck," Martin remembered. "I recently found
out he went to a resale barn but I have still yet to be able to find him
anywhere."</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Martin said people who
buy and sell horses have a right to make money, but added, "Don't use the
emotions of people to make a buck."</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Certainly both the Moores and AC4H recognized this horse was
valuable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was almost certainly one of
the horses the Moore’s buy for resale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s been clearly shown that horses in excess of $350 are rarely bought
as meat horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dealers simply can’t
make money on a horse priced above that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And very clearly, the Moores weren’t going to deny an offer of $4,000
and put a horse on a truck just to fill a load.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s just isn’t smart business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Somebody offered them a little bit more and Granville was sold to them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cutting to the chase, what kind of a rescuer would prevent a
horse from being reunited with its previous owner and tell her that he had died
horribly?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s also been shown clearly that ponies don’t ship to
slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve been told that Brian
Moore himself will tell you it doesn’t happen, and we’ve presented shipping
records that show it to be true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet
minis and ponies are still being presented as “owned by a kill buyer” and in
danger of shipping, even today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Check out this “slippery” pony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s a really good horse!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact, the AC4H broker pages are loaded with ponies and
minis, all horses Moore doesn’t ship to slaughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shamefully, this isn’t the only rescue who is partnering
with a kill buyer to sell unshippable horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Seeing the clearly profitable connection, at least three other
organizations in Pennsylvania and one just across the border in New Jersey have
jumped on the same bandwagon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the
New Holland Sales Stable in such close proximity it’s become a quick way to
make an easy buck preying on the emotions of big hearted people who don’t
understand how the system really works.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks, Susan Baldridge for having the courage to write this
article.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will certainly experience a
backlash from the angry minions that come scurrying out whenever the program(s)
are questioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s important to raise
the level of public awareness about the true intentions of some organizations
who pose as rescuers of horses. We can only hope you'll continue to expose the broker owned and placement programs for what they really are.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s also important to note that there are many wonderful
rescues that do rescue horses the right way without partnering with kill buyers
or being dealers themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thank
them heartily for not perpetuating the kill buyer’s way of life and for
righting the wrongs done to our beloved equines.</div>

And then there’s the rebuttal from AC4H, complete with
childlike multi-colored text and varying fonts and font sizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We won’t dignify the ridiculousness of the
comments by linking it here, but if you do read it you’ll quickly note that the
hot links to the email addresses for Mrs. Moore and Susan Baldridge have been omitted
or deleted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Manufactured?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can only know for sure if we see the
emails and their headers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We've asserted on many occasions that the horses being sold by the broker and placement programs are unlikely candidates for the slaughterhouse and that the brokers are buying resale horses to supplement both their income and their partner's incomes.<br />
<br />
The broker's partners have all screamed foul. Of course these horses are slaughter bound, they say.<br />
<br />
Well, finally, someone stood up and asked the right question. She posted a comment to one of the "program" pages. <b><i>It,</i></b> of course, went unanswered.<br />
<br />
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage uiStreamHeadline" data-ft="{"tn":":"}">
<div class="actorDescription actorName" data-ft="{"type":2,"tn":":"}">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a data-ft="{"tn":";"}" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1798657515&extragetparams=%7B%22hc_location%22%3A%22stream%22%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/roxanne.lukens?hc_location=stream" id="js_1">Roxanne Lukens</a></span></div>
</h5>
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">The
paperwork that must accompany these horses to slaughter, do each of
these horses that are for sale here, have that paperwork. Perhaps for
those of us with some doubt, you could get a photograph of that
paperwork when you are there photographing the horses. I for one know
that I'd be more apt to take a horse from one of these programs if I
knew for sure they were really shipping tomorrow.....and so would many
others who doubt the reality that these actually horses are getting
shipped. At least they are not all lame, grey, pregnant, blind.
etc.....</span></span></h5>
<br />
What a fantastic idea! If these horses really are going to slaughter, they need to have an accompanying form from the owner, confirming they are the owner, asking if the horse has had any drugs or vaccines in the past 180 days, been diagnosed with any illnesses, and if the horse has been given any substances prohibited from use in food processing.<br />
<br />
For Canada bound horses there is the owner declaration: "As the owner of the animal identified on this document I hereby certify that the information in this EID is accurate and complete. I understand that, effective July 31, 2010 at least six months of documented acceptable history is required for an equine presented for processing in an establishemnt inspected by CFIA." The Mexican form is similar - same questions - and ends with a statement "I declare as the owner or the owner's agent the information provided in this form and the attached documents to be correct and given in good faith."<br />
<br />
Both forms require name, signature, and date. (included below are links to all the forms).<br />
<br />
So, Programs and Placements, Show Us The Paperwork! You've got time to travel to your broker partners place of business, video tape and photograph, it shouldn't take but a moment more to photograph the EID so that your donators and supporters know that these horses really do have paperwork that permit them to be sent to slaughter. We won't mention at this moment that two veterinarians still have to sign off on the horse before it can be shipped, we just want to see the paperwork and know it really, really exists. And of course you can redact the owner's name so they don't receive any nastygrams. (redact: <span class="ssens"><b></b> to obscure or remove (text) from a document prior to publication or release.) </span><br />
<br />
Show Us The Paperwork!<br />

For many, this letter from July 12, 2012 to Ron Andio will be old news:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm313462.htm">http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm313462.htm</a><br />
<br />
If you don't feel like clicking, here is the meat of the letter (sadly, pun intended):<br />
<br />
<i>Dear Mr. Andio: </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>On April 03, 05, and 30, 2012, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation of your
livestock operation located at 4445 South Turner Road, Canfield, Ohio
44406. This letter notifies you of the violations of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) that we found during our
investigation of your operation. You can find the FD&C Act and its
associated regulations on the Internet through links on FDA’s web page
at <a href="http://www.fda.gov/">www.fda.gov</a>. </i><br />
<br />
<i>We found that
you offered for sale an animal for slaughter as food that was
adulterated. Under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the FD&C Act, 21
U.S.C. 342(a)(2)(C)(ii), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it bears
or contains a new animal drug that is unsafe under section 512 of the
FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b. Further, under section 402(a)(4) of the
FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4), a food is deemed to be adulterated if
it has been held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have been
rendered injurious to health.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Specifically, our investigation
revealed that on or about August 20, 2011, you sold a bay thoroughbred
gelding horse, identified with back tag <b>(b)(4)</b> (USDA Tag <b>(b)(4)</b>) for slaughter as food. On or about August 23, 2011, <b>(b)(4)</b>
slaughtered this animal. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)
analysis of tissue samples collected from this animal identified the
presence of phenylbutazone at 0.0025 parts per million (ppm) in the
muscle tissue and 0.026 ppm in the kidney tissue and clenbuterol at
0.0039 ppm in the eye (target tissue). FDA has not established a
tolerance for residues of phenylbutazone and clenbuterol in the edible
tissues of horses. The presence of these drugs in edible tissues from
this animal in these amounts causes the food to be adulterated within
the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. §
342(a)(2)(C)(ii).</i><br />
<br />
<i>Our investigation also found that you hold
animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals
bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food
supply. For example, you failed to inquire about the medication status
of animals purchased for slaughter. Food from animals held under such
conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the
FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4).</i><br />
<br />
<i>The violations listed above
are not intended to an all-inclusive list. It is your responsibility to
assure that your operations are in compliance with the law. As a dealer
of animals, you are frequently the individual who introduces or offers
for introduction into interstate commerce, the adulterated animals. As
such, you share responsibility for violating the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act. To avoid future illegal residue violations you should
take precautions such as:</i><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<i>1. Implementing
a system to determine from the source of the animals whether the
animals has been medicated and with what drug(s); and</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<i>2. If
the animal has been medicated, implementing a system to withhold the
animal from slaughter for an appropriate period of time to deplete
potentially hazardous residues of drugs from edible tissue. If you do
not want to hold the medicated animal then it should not be offered for
human food, and it should be clearly identified and sold as a medicated
animal.</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
<i>You should take prompt action to correct the violations
described in this letter and to establish procedures to ensure that
these violations do not recur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory
action without further notice such as seizure and/or injunction. </i><br />
<br />
<i>We
also note that the slaughterhouse has on file an Equine Information
Document (EID) certificate (or guarantee) dated August 23, 2011 from the

<br />
In summary, on 3 different days in April of 2012, the FDA conducted inspections of Andio's farm and found violations. The inspection was apparently a result of the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) testing a horse Andio sent to slaughter in Canada in April of 2011 (yes, 2011) and finding Bute in its system. Bute is an illegal drug to administer to any animal entering the human food chain.<br />
<br />
The FDA went on to say <i>"their investigation</i> <i>found that you hold
animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals
bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food
supply."</i><br />
<br />
And continued with:<i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>"During our inspection of your firm, you
admitted that you filled out and signed the producer’s name to this
form and did not inquire of the producer the medication status of this
animal. You provided this EID to the dealer who purchased this animal
from you."</i><br />
<br />
According to this letter, Mr. Andio not only supplied toxic horse meat to Canada, but admitted to falsifying documents to state otherwise, forging the signature of the individual or firm he got the horse from, and supplying these falsified documents to the dealer who bought the horses from him and took them to slaughter.<br />
<br />
We don't know exactly what the statement about inadequate conditions
means. It certainly doesn't bode well for the animals in his
possession.<br />
<br />
What is perhaps most appalling is that the FDA slaps him on the wrist and asks for a letter stating how compliance will be done in the future. Other questions abound. Why did it take a year for the letter to be sent to Andio? Why is he still allowed to ship horses when the CFIA has a zero tolerance policy for Bute?<br />
<br />
<br />
The CFIA only randomly tests meat products. ( <a href="http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/information-for-consumers/fact-sheets/specific-products-and-risks/meat-and-poultry-products/horse-meat/eng/1331217628360/1331225704619">http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/information-for-consumers/fact-sheets/specific-products-and-risks/meat-and-poultry-products/horse-meat/eng/1331217628360/1331225704619</a> ) There is no way of knowing how much toxic meat is entering the system, but based on what we know about the percentage of American horses who have received Bute, it's easy to guess that it's a very, very significant amount.<br />
<br />
Consumers in both the European Union and elsewhere should be scared, very, very scared to consume anything that may contain American horse meat. The article below cites a number of terrifying side effects:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/03/04/what-s-in-your-horse-burger-chemicals-that-pose-serious-health-risks.html">http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/03/04/what-s-in-your-horse-burger-chemicals-that-pose-serious-health-risks.html</a><br />
<br />
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>"Published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, the research study states that the health hazards associated with bute in horse meat aren’t dose related.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>According to the study, bute causes
bone-marrow depression like aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis,
thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, pancytopenia, and hemolytic anemia, which
are fatal in the vast majority of cases. The elderly are more
susceptible than younger adults. The risks for developing bone-marrow
depression and other serious effects are heightened because humans
metabolize bute into oxyphenbutazone, which also causes bone-marrow
depression.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>The study also demonstrates that
children are at increased risk of developing aplastic anemia from minute
levels of bute and oxyphenbutazone in horse meat, presumably because
their bones are still growing. But even very low levels of bute can
result in a hypersensitivity reaction in susceptible adults that’s
mostly fatal. All of these effects are considered to be idiosyncratic,
meaning it is unknown who will be afflicted.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>The National Toxicology Program
showed that bute is a carcinogen. In fact, bute can cause chromosomal
alterations that lead to cancers like leukemia in humans.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>In amounts lower than those that
cause bone-marrow depression, bute can also result in a serum
sickness–like illness resulting in “fever, fatigue, malaise, and
inflammation of the kidney, swollen glands and an enlarged spleen. A
person can end up on dialysis for the rest of their life,” the authors
of the peer-reviewed research study wrote in a follow-up letter to the
editor.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div class="text parbase section">
<i>Because bute was taken off the
market for human use more than a decade ago due to its side effects, no
long-term studies have been or will be conducted. No safe levels were
set by food-safety regulators. <b>Therefore, the drug was banned for all
animals intended for human consumption, and there is no withdrawal time."</b></i></div>
<br />
Part of the takeaway message here is that horse dealers can easily pass horses with drug histories into the food chain, and that the "system" in place to protect consumers is lax at best. The dealers don't care what they are shipping; they just want their cash. And the government agencies appear to be largely asleep at the wheel.<i> </i><i></i><br />

First we need to thank the individuals employed by the USDA who took the time to walk us through the process and answer our questions. We will talk with them again and they remain concerned, as do other federal agencies, about the potential for abuse of the shipping system by all individuals contributing to it.<br />
<br />
This information was readily found on the USDA-APHIS website
concerning shipping of horses to slaughter by Brian Moore in 2010:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.aphis.usda.gov/foia/foia_requests/2011/Veterinary%20Services%20%28VS%29/11-020%20-%20Owner%20Shipper%20Papers%20for%20Horses%20Shipped%20to%20Slaughter%20by%20or%20for%20Brian%20Moore/11-020%20Records.pdf">http://www.aphis.usda.gov/foia/foia_requests//2011/Veterinary%20Services%20%28VS%29/11-020%20-%20Owner%20Shipper%20Papers%20for%20Horses%20Shipped%20to%20Slaughter%20by%20or%20for%20Brian%20Moore/11-020%20Records.pdf</a><br />
<br />
Accessing the above link will show you the two forms we refer to below, the VS 17 140 and the VS 10 13. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost without change it is 30 head of horses being shipped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only on 4/22 were 21 horses shipped.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">grays or ponies </i></b>shipped to slaughter
according to these federal forms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Few
horses over the age of 18 are documented.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The data is from 1/11/2010 through 8/2/2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>38 loads are documented.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of the 1131 horses documented, 31 were stallions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That equates to 3%.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On 3/8, of the 30 horses nearly all of them were listed as
bays, and most were mares (22).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
were also 7 geldings and one stallion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Race horses, perhaps?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to the USDA, the way the process works is the kill
buyer acquires horses for meat and creates a load.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then a USDA Accredited Veterinarian examines
the load and signs off on the VS 17 140 form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The vet must go through an accreditation process which is renewed every
three years and involves continuing education credits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USDA Accredited Vet is not compensated by
the USDA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One would logically assume
however, that a veterinarian would not go through this process unless he/she was
getting paid, so we’ll figure the kill buyer is charged for this inspection.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the VS 17 140 is issued and signed by the accredited
vet – in this case Dr. James Holt for all 38 loads – the original form must be
inspected by a USDA compensated AVIC veterinarian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, according to one of our contacts at
the USDA there is an AVIC area office in nearly every state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is one located in the capital city of
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania which is approximately 45 minutes from New Holland or
Jonestown, where Moore’s farm is located.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Note the original form must be stamped and signed, so it cannot be faxed
or emailed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are field vets for the USDA, as was explained to us,
that often sign off on and stamp the VS 17 140 form in order for the kill buyer
to have their documentation in place to ship the load of horses to slaughter
without visiting an AVIC office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
kill buyers have 30 days from the endorsement date to ship the horses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were also told by the USDA that a “contract” between a
slaughter house and kill buyer can be as simple as a handshake or may actually
exist as a formal contract.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
individual told us he spent years at the Cavel plant in Illinois supervising
the off loading of slaughter horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
inspected 800-1500 horses per week, and only ever saw one mini come
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mini was rejected and not slaughtered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In every example shown Dr. Holt issues the 17 140 one day
and the USDA Vet stamps and signs the form the following day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This belies the story that horses loaded
Monday night at New Holland are shipped overnight to Canada, at least during
the time period that these documents were issued.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep in mind the kill buyer fills out the form VS 10-13
which includes the USFA hip tag number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You often see horses in the broker programs with these tags on
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not a sure indication that
the horse is going to ship to slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The horse may have been tagged but rejected by one of the veterinarians
and the tag simply wasn’t removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Additionally, if horses are bought at auction in NY or another state,
tagged and brought back to PA as meat horses, the buyer eludes having to get a
negative coggins test on those horses, saving him a significant amount of
money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, those USDA hip tags might
just be used as a marketing ploy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are fortunate to have the Freedom Of Information Act to
request information like this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the
same information is requested by more than one individual it is required to be
placed on the federal agency’s website: “The FOIA also requires that agencies
automatically disclose certain information, including frequently requested
records.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly that is what occurred
with this request, since it was found on the APHIS website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are also thankful that the FBI, USDA and PSP
(Pennsylvania State Police) are monitoring this ongoing situation with brokers
and broker programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Government cannot
legislate a moral compass, but they can regulate and enforce laws being broken
by those dancing too close too the edge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will leave you with the faces of those that were lost;
the ones that could not be saved. Most of these pictures come from Washington State and Montana. Heartwrenching, as you note how fat and healthy they are. Rest in Peace, Dear Ones. May you not have died in vain.</div>

Stallions are an issue. According to APHIS they need to be treated differently:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Separate stallions and other aggressive horses from the rest of the shipment.</li>
</ul>
( <a href="http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_dis_spec/horses/horse_transport.shtml"> http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_dis_spec/horses/horse_transport.shtml</a> )<br />
<br />
Factor in the fact that he's only 15 hands and quite thin as well, and you've got a prime candidate for a broker program. Grimly, if butchered this horse would not yield a lot of meat. Sorry, but that's the painful, brutal reality.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then there's this tiny, skinny mini. Pulled from the kill pen, not. But the dealer was smart enough to buy her knowing someone would buy the story.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We're happy these horses are out of the auction pipeline (at least for now) but come on, rescue horses that are really in danger of shipping, please!<br />

plant, he only witnessed one mini brought in for slaughter, and noted it was
turned away as unfit for killing.</div>

He went on to explain that it is an arduous task to butcher
an animal, be it “horse or cow.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s

Just look at this poor horse and your heart bleeds. Then you read further and find out his eye and penis are both cancerous. The prognosis is grim. The eye and penis problem were <b><i>obvious</i></b> from the moment the rescuer's laid eyes on him. (see pics and commentary below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are happy he is in better hands than he was. They say they will euthanize him before his pain is unbearable.</div>

They "bailed" this horse from Bruce Rotz. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, Bruce who always used to buy meat horses. Waayall, as they say down south, this ain't no meat horse. And the eye and penis issue was obvious to Rotz from the minute he laid eyes on him, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bruce saw an opportunity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As For The Love Of Sophie notes, neither of Rotz's other two "programs" was interested in helping this horse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bottom line is once again, Rotzy gets the last laugh. He just sold an unsellable horse. </div>

<br />
We are so appreciative of the work Animals Angels does. In February they did an undercover investigation of Mel Hoover's auction on a very cold day.<br />
<br />
Bruce Rotz was there as well as Chuck Beam, who purchases horse for Brian Moore. And we know all too well the "rescues" who are marketing Moore and Rotz's horses.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/494-hoovers-horse-sale-new-holland-pa-2213.html">http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/494-hoovers-horse-sale-new-holland-pa-2213.html</a><br />
<br />
Read it and weep. This is what horses who end up in the auction house are subjected to time and time again.<br />
<br />
Again, we ask, where are the authorities when this is going on? Why isn't someone enforcing the PA Anti-cruelty laws? Here's a horse with open strangles which is a highly contagious disease (and can be fatal) standing in a barn full of other horses that were dispersed to points unknown. The horse is in distress and needs antibiotics at a minimum.<br />
<br />
Wonder how many horses that poor horse infected? Because anyone who touched that horse, or touched anything he touched, walked through his dripping pus could so easily have passed it on to other horses in that barn or taken it home to their own horses. Anyone who does proper quarantine knows the importance of biosecurity in barns where horses are brought together from many different places. Do you think the barn was properly sanitized after the sale? Do you think any of these barns practice biosecurity measures?<br />
<br />
Here is another investigation of Mel's auction from last summer. More of the same ugliness:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/432-hoover-horse-auction-new-holland-pa-7712.html">http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/432-hoover-horse-auction-new-holland-pa-7712.html</a><br />
<br />
No consideration for any of the horses or other animals involved. It's so painful to contemplate.<br />
<br />
Two investigations into New Holland Sales Stable last summer. Same players, add Jesse Austin (Cedar Ridge) to the mix.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/428-new-holland-auction-pa-62512.html">http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/428-new-holland-auction-pa-62512.html</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/430-new-holland-horse-auction-pa-7712.html">http://www.animalsangels.org/investigations/horse-investigations/430-new-holland-horse-auction-pa-7712.html</a><br />
<br />
This is a vicious circle for the animals caught up in it. They are treated like trash in these auction houses. The meat men circle like vultures and buy the cheap and healthy horses they can turn into meat and look for horses their marketers can sell that aren't worthy of shipping to slaughter. The opportunistic "rescues" post out the horses designated for them to resell.<br />
<br />
It would be hoped that you will think long and hard about supporting the people who are part of this process that so cruelly and compassionlessly exploits our horses.<br />

Is it Possible that Camp Horses Are Being Sold as Horses
Going to Slaughter?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In view of certain commenters, to include Renee Koroly of EOTL Horse
Placement (and her ardent supporters), who claims to purchase horses directly from the KB, let’s explore the very murky waters of horse rescues and brokers and their relationships. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve all heard the obvious “The truck is coming!” “This
horse is going to slaughter!” “He’s owned by a KB and needs to fill his load!”
which of course creates the drama and scrambling to open the pocketbooks in the
name of the big “save.” And all of us are aware of the fact that any horse
could end up at auction, including champions, a fact that this page will not
dispute. But let’s just say that the person on whose property the horses are
featured, who owns a large amount of horses and continues to keep buying for
the purposes of their business—which is NOT horse slaughter—and then disposes
of them after use to whomever will buy them, who may or may not be the
KB—doesn’t that make them a dealer, rather than the true “killbuyer?” And if
so, wouldn’t that make the broker claiming to rescue them actually dealing from
a dealer, rather than the KB they claim to be supporting in order to save the
horses? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s take a look at the name of Rebecca Caye, who in a 2002
online was cited for having two horses several hundred pounds underweight in
what the Humane Officer called the “worst case of neglect I have ever seen.” </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caye is the co-owner
of a place called Pleasant Valley Stables, and claims to rehabilitate horses
and sell them after “saving them from slaughter.” (There’s that damned
catchphrase again.) The other 45 horses on that 88 acres were in relatively
good shape, and the two cases of neglect were boarded at a place in Cranberry
Township called Paradise Equine Rescue and Youth Ministry, which at some point
in time appeared to be called Garden of Eden Stables. Please keep in mind that
Rebecca’s practices are not in question here—rather, it is the rather questionable
claims of a certain broker in PA (EOTL) who claims to be purchasing directly
from the KB. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Looking up Rebecca’s locations where she does business include 564 Barkley Rd,
Harmony, Pa (since these are businesses, their locations are easily found on
Google and a matter of public record, for those of you who seek to report this
article.) She is also the founder of a company called Moraine Trails LLC , and
the address is listed 1796 Barkley Rd Portersville, Pa. (Funnily enough,
Moraine State Park’s address is 225 Pleasant Valley Rd, and the listing address
is of Moraine Traills, LLC is 1796 Barkley Rd, strikingly similar to the
Barkley Rd address offered up by Pleasant Valley stables. She is also the
owner/operator of Pleasant Valley Stables, where she offers guided trail rides.
Ads on her page state “Camp horses will be back this weekend 70+ to choose from
for sale or free lease prices start at $200! Dont forget to ask about our lease
with option to buy program, also have several available for adoption!!!!!!!
Pictures coming soon!!!!!!!!!!” So now we have connections to both Cranberry
Township and Harmony/Portersville, Pa. Keep those locations in mind, because
they will prove important. </div>

Interesting ad that I just found while googling the phone number of Pleasant
Valley Stables...The ad has since been deleted so posting it is irrelevant.

They are back! Still about 50 to pick from, mares, geldings, all makes and
models. Prices start at $300.00. We also offer a free lease program-take the
horse home now and if you decide you like him pay for him in April! Please call
for details and to make an appointment at (724)368-3917 Googling that number
leads back to an Albert Caye.</div>

This is an ad for Chandler whose name, it turns out, was listed
on another page as Harry, whom Renee states is located in Portersville, Pa –and
then states that he is going to auction next Friday, which would sort of be odd
if the horse were definitely bound for slaughter, wouldn’t it? How is this any
different from Christy’s “resale,” pen or Camelot’s? Other interesting comments
on the page include where someone questions Harry’s name, stating that they saw
him on another page under another name. One of the former admins/founders of
the EOTL page, Nicole Velin Shaw, confirms that is indeed the same horse as Harry,
but with no explanation why the horse was listed on a different site under a
different name. </div>

Take a look at this picturesque photo on the Pleasant Valley Stables page, with
the kudzu lovingly adorning the back end of that building wall. Also note the

The buildings looks strikingly similar, don’t they, complete
to the ivy/kudzu growing at the back of the building? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I note this disclaimer about even if they are
not shipping direct then they came from auction, it’s a killbuyer’s holding
pen, yada yada yada…all the typical fare that gets the horse angels salivating
to open up their pocketbooks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But is it really a kill buyer’s holding pen, or is this a
woman (who is not listed on any killbuyer’s site, interestingly enough) who
uses these horses in a business and then resells them through a horse broker
claiming to buy directly from a kill buyer? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

You be the judge. Enjoy taking a step into the murky world
of brokers who claim to be buying from killbuyers and maybe you can understand
the questions that arise.</div>

Yet, it’s the grim reality for many horses. America exported
176,000+ last year who suffered a heinous death and became “what’s for dinner”
in Europe and Asia.<br />
<br />
We contacted a well respected horse advocate who has connections in Canada
and asked what horse meat is actually selling for. In a nutshell, this is
what we learned.<br />
<br />
There are different qualities of horse meat. A #1 meat horse is about
1300 to 1500 lbs, and looks like a warmblood. A #1 is in very good
flesh. Drafts don’t fit the bill for a #1 because they carry too much
weight in bone. If a horse weighs less than 1000 pounds they sell for
less money even if they are in good flesh. There’s less “yield” (usable
meat) to skinny horses and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">it’s all about the weight they end up with
when the horse is butchered, not what it weighs live</i></b>. On average,
there's about 60% yield on a horse.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Concerning prices for live horses:</i><br />
<br />
The average contractor buying live horses will spend .28 to .34 cents per
pound and that’s for a horse in good flesh and carrying less bone weight.
If a contractor pays more than .39 to .40 per pound live weight they will
barely break even which is why you rarely see a meat buyer pay more than $350
for a 1000 lb horse at auction.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Once the horse has been
butchered: </i><br />
<br />
Most of these contractors (the brokers who have contracts with Canadian
horse slaughter plants) get paid “on the rail” or “hanging weight” which are
terms for the horse after all the unusable parts are trimmed off and it is just
the main carcass hanging on a rail in a meat locker.<br />
<br />
At Richelieu, the broker typically gets paid .45 to .65 per pound hanging
weight depending on the quality of the meat.<br />
<br />
So if they have a 1000 lb horse they bought for $250 (going conservative
here for arguments sake) and they got 600 pounds of usable meat, their profit
at .55 cents (the average between .45 and .65) is $80.<br />
<br />
Sounds low, doesn’t it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it
explains why so many meat buyers will sell a horse they’ve bought to ship for
an extra $50 over what they paid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
$80 isn’t all profit; there are a lot of expenses getting the horse to the
slaughter house.<br />
<br />
And remember these numbers being used are averages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some horses go for more, some less; some are
unusable when butchered due to disease.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Conclusions one can draw:</i><br />
<br />
Selling horses to kill is not a highly lucrative business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 30 horses that so sadly burned last week
were likely worth $2400 <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">before</i></b> transport expenses if they
were all in good flesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve seen so
many skinny horses coming through the auctions that it may be getting more and
more difficult to fill loads with good quality meat horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And these prices are for Canada, so it’s not
too hard to deduce that Mexico pays even less, plus the meat dealers from PA
have much further to travel to get to Mexico, which increases expenses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve also seen the homes Moore and Rotz live
in and clearly they are not living the lives of the wealthy.<br />
<br />
Also to be considered there are many additional costs pulling down the
dealers profit margin: feed, costs of owning and maintaining a farm, cost of
a rig(s), insurance, utilities, paying drivers and stable help. Etc, etc, etc.<br />
<br />
As noted in a previous post, a source who attends New Holland’s horse sale
each Monday reports that Bruce Rotz’s buying patterns have changed
significantly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the past he never
bought a horse he couldn’t ship to slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Recently, he is buying horses that don’t fit shipping criteria, and
interestingly enough, three different groups have quickly come forward and are
marketing Rotz’s horses for him.<br />
<br />
Finding an easy way to profitably sell horses that previously he wouldn’t
have considered purchasing has probably been a godsend in this poor horse
economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Rotz is just one of a
number of kill buyers with partners in the perceived “rescue” sector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They and their partners are prevalent here in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but also exist on the west coast and in Canada.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Final Thoughts:</i><br />
<br />
We keep hearing a life saved is a life saved. When you stand at the auction
and look at those horses it tears your heart out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But every horse that these kill buyer
partners sell leaves room for another horse on the meat man’s truck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the fact he’s making much more than he
would have through these marketing programs allows him to either live a better
life or buy more horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Horses, again,
that will never be marketed to the public because they are fat and healthy and
their paperwork indicating they are drug free appears to be in order.<br />
<br />
The meat man loses not a moment of sleep as he sends those horses to their
deaths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The healthier the horse the
better the profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horses endure a
terrifying, arduous trip and heinous death, if they are lucky, and if not they
are cut apart while still alive.<br />
<br />
Who could partner with these people?<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here’s what it says:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I was owned by a kill
buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A caring group of woman came
together to save my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A group of
woman didn’t want anybody to help me at the kill buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What group of woman do you want on your side?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Rowan was pulled from the clutches of Bruce Rotz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are happy for Rowan. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hopefully</i></b> he has gone to a carefully vetted
and responsible, loving home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love a
happy ending.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course, there was a little shrapnel along the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rowan was probably bought for a small amount
of money, which Kelly Smith and Bruce Rotz likely marked up significantly so
they could both get their cut of the “save.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Rowan was likely unable to be shipped for one reason or
another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps he is blind, perhaps he
has open facial wound, perhaps his paperwork states he’s had Bute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many reasons a horse won’t pass
muster for shipping. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A vet must sign off
on each horse that gets put on a slaughter truck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">An undercover source that frequents the auctions has noted
that Bruce Rotz’s buying patterns have changed the last few months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reportedly in the past he only bought
shippable horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However since Fall of
2012 he started buying unshippable horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Coincidence?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Almost unbelievably, Rotz has three different groups
collecting funds for his “program” horses now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His new and increased buying pattern has come about because of these
marketing groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s found a whole new
way of making money through the foolishness and greed of self-dubbed rescuers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And a hearty YES, there is a group of woman and men who want
to see these marketing groups stop partnering with meat men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A real rescuer would have out-bid this scum bag at the
auction instead of putting a dime in his pocket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A real rescuer would have taken this poor boy
home, rehabbed and evaluated him, given him training he requires and made sure
he was a good match with the family who eventually adopted him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Instead, this opportunistic woman waited until the horses
was in the arms of death, then swooped in pretending to be an angel of mercy as
she and Bruce figured out how much <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to mark this one up</i></b>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here’s a direct quote from Kelly Smith regarding the Rotzs:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“They make the family out to be horrible
people but they’re not.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, that’s a
quote by a woman who runs a horse rescue talking about a guy who sells horses
for their meat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nice.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">RULES FOR A RESALE HORSE:
AC4H Broker Horses Can you bail her ? She is resale horse so if you can't
direct bail her, you need to pay half of bail price first before you can
fundraise for the balance to get her off the kill pen lot. Send me copy of
receipt to TNason324@comcast.net The sooner she gets off this lot, the better.</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">A host of questions abound over
this horse that AC4H is selling on behalf of Brian Moore. Just for starters, she is a
“resale horse.” That means she is not in any danger of going to
slaughter. Yet comments are made about getting her off the kill pen lot,
which many people will probably misinterpret.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Agreed on the statement the
sooner she gets off the lot, the better. Moore’s farm is horse hell and
there’s no telling what she’s already been exposed to.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">And what’s up with the statement if
you want to fundraise for her you have to pay half the bail upfront?
First of all, it’s not “bail” it’s a “for sale” horse!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">One of the commenter’s on a FB
page even said Moore offered her the horse for $500 when she was on his
farm. Now doesn’t Christy always say he won’t deal with the public?
Could that possibly be a slight twist on the truth?</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/denise.kuremsky">Denise Kuremsky</a> haha i rode
that mare when i was up at brian moores place, haha not worth 1100 and not what
he was offering it to me at. I coulda had the mare for $500.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Another hot news flash for those
who are still drinking the Koolaid. The minis and ponies are not going to
ship. Moore is too savvy of a business man to waste room on his
trucks with these tiny equines. Come on folks, use your common
sense! You are being taken advantage of by a pair of horse hustlers! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">So despite the FBI forcing their
way into the house and removing phones, hard drives, and boxes and boxes of
files, Another Chance 4 Horses continues to dance on the edge. They have
acquired a broker’s license to sell horses. But how can a non-profit
ethically or legally sell horses for a for-profit business?
Particularly one that sends horses to slaughter in Canada?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">This isn’t rescue. It’s
greed driven exploitation of horses for profit, pure and simple.</span><br />

Did the Stars Get In Your Eyes?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Starlight Sanctuary is very vocal in their support of
broker owned programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No great surprise
there, as they run one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interesting and contradictory
information can be found on their website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They say they have created a “positive” relationship with the kill buyer
who manages Fallon Feedlot and who each week decides which horses Starlight may
market for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Starlight goes on to
say they do not condone, but they also do not judge, feel great gratitude
towards, but cannot interfere with their business of selling horses to
kill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can safely be said that not
only are they <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i></b> interfering, they are flat out marketing and selling the
horses for the kill buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isn’t that a
conflict of interest for a group who states they are opposed to slaughter and
want to save horses?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just askin’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As an aside, the Fallon Feedlot kill buyer ships to Bouvry
Exports in Canada:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://opencorporates.com/companies/ca/1262343">http://opencorporates.com/companies/ca/1262343</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is claimed that the kill buyer involved doesn’t make an
additional penny more than they would if they shipped the horse to
slaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would have to beg to
differ on several fronts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, the
kill buyer is charging board for each day the horse is on the feedlot beginning
with the first day of Starlight marketing them as well as additional fees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are also <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">avoiding</i></b> all kinds of
expenses by not shipping the horses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of the expense to ship a load of horses
from Nevada to Canada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Google mapping
tells us its 1200 miles one way from Fallon to Calgary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine the gas costs alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Check the prices on some of those horses!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(See Facebook) Out east a kill buyer rarely
pays over $350 for a healthy and in good flesh meat horse, otherwise he’s not
going to make a profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I doubt it’s a very
different market in Nevada, particularly when the trip is even longer to the
slaughter plant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A $100 Coggins?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, it’s horrible to look at those poor horses that have
fallen into the clutches of the Kill buyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But the KB’s daughter makes excuses for themselves in a ridiculous open
letter on Starlight’s website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jolleen
says slaughter is a necessary evil, they genuinely love horses (!), they are
just “scraping” by financially and she only does this so she can be a stay at
home mom who home schools her kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
are very active in barrel racing, yada, yada, yada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go read the letter yourself but it’s
difficult to stomach at best.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sorry, but we need a moment to recover from that diatribe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our argument is that you didn’t have to choose to do this
for a living.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said, if a
horse is rescued from the kill buyer it does make a difference to that
particular horse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But sometimes you have
to put on your big girl pants and look at the big picture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The big picture is that as long as people continue to aid
these kill buyers by marketing, donating to, or buying these horses they are
increasing the profitability of the kill buyers and helping them to stay in
business. These broker programs have created a secondary market for
horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Starlight is currently marketing
many heavily pregnant mares, which are not legal to ship.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">She who refers to herself as Omega is at it again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here we have a
thin, senior pony that is going to be sent to slaughter if not saved for a mere
$<b><i>410</i></b>, plus <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fees</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Registered and in
foal; papers in hand.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yep, pregnant, thin, tiny and they are going to load her on
a truck with other meat horses and ship her all the way from Pennsylvania to
Mexico.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What are the odds she would make
it there alive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None to none comes to
mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What meat man would waste his time
on this pony?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Forgive me, pony lovers
everywhere, but there is no meat on this equine and no one in their right mind
is going to ship it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Any rescuer with half a heart would take this tiny, pregnant pony in, especially one with a big fancy barn, paid barn help and a wealthy benefactor. But I digress.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>Warning - graphic words</b>: If this pony was loaded with other horses she would be stepped on and killed. There would be blood everywhere. Other horses would fall and get trampled. Bones would be broken, horses dead and dying and useless to the meat man. It would be a complete fiasco and this isn't Bruce Rotz's first rodeo, as they say. <b>(end of graphic words)</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The picture will however, and apparently did, tug at some heart
strings and the cash was “ponied” up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kelly Smith and Bruce Rotz laughed all the way to the bank.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is what was posted on her page: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i> I have been accused of making tons of money and making the kill buyer rich. Fact: I see the kill sheets and I know how much these horses have sold for at slaughter. YES, the horses I am helping are horses that would ship otherwise. The person I deal with has contracts in Canada and Mexico (Mexcio accepts anything in any condition with the exception of a horse having ticks on it). It has been stated that for every horse I save the kill buyer enough money to go buy 4 more healthy horses for slaughter. You do the math. Here is an example: The Kill Buyer pays $425 for 12 yr old 15:3 hand standardbred gelding. The price I am given is $525 plus $37 for a coggins and health cert. For $100 he makes our agreement is that he would donate $25. back to Omega.</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">(anyone who would like to see the screen shot of this comment is more than welcome.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wouldn't you be so proud to tell the world a scum of the earth kill buyer is donating to your rescue?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So following the math logic, I guess Rotz paid $310 for this tiny pony at auction. If it wasn't so pathetically unbelievable we could perhaps laugh uncomfortably.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I guess this one didn't have ticks on it.</span></div>
