Sometimes you encounter levels of stupidity so high you just
don’t know where to start. 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.
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.
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. 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. Yes, and unicorns fly.
It’s been said before, but these brokers like Rotz and Moore
have many outlets for their horses. Gail
Christman, of Venture Farms in Germansville is just one of the places Moore
shuffles horses to:
Remember Steppins High Beauty? She was being sold by both a BO program and
Venture Farms at the same time. And it’s
not the first time we’ve heard that story, is it?
The also load them onto trucks and take them to other
auctions. The horses being purchased for
these programs are largely unsuitable for slaughter. 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. The broker gets his cut, the “rescuer” gets
hers and the money clips get a little thicker.
Many people are catching on to this ruse, so they’ve now developed this
latest emotional blackmail of showing
horses getting on trucks and assuring everyone they’ve died a horrible death
because they were unable to collect enough cash.
Where does this leave the legitimate rescues, with vetted
and evaluated horses? Sigh. They simply cannot compete with this kind of
heart wrenching drama.
Of course a number of enlightened human beings saw through
the ruse and called these lovely ladies on it.
That caused a tantrum among the mouthpieces that has been going on for
days. We are going to show you a few of
their comments and correct the fallacies they are spreading. There is either a total lack of education or
else a carefully orchestrated attempt at continuing to keep the blind donors,
well, blind.
Fallacy #1: Fallacy
#1: This statement was made in response to Brian’s alleged request to get
horses off a truck he had already shipped:
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. They are only
shipped with coggins.
Before being loaded on a truck, each and every horse is
inspected by an independent veterinarian.
The, a second veterinarian inspects the load, one who is certified and
compensated by the USDA. 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.
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.
Fallacy #2: The next two equine experts stepped up and said:
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.
That
would be cafe cactus and canuki?
Cactus Café and Canuki were very much
rescued from Richelieu. Here is just one
of many articles on the pair:
Their trainer, Mark Wedig, is who
consigned them to slaughter:
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.
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
contacted the firm up there to purchase them back,” Wedig said. “It’s never
been done, and it’s extremely hard.”
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.
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.
None of them live in close proximity to the rescue they so ardently
defend. None of them have ever picked up
a brush and helped care for the poor horses trapped on that barren dry
lot. The laugh disrespectfully about the
FBI and joke about “calling Charlene.”
Not one of them commented when
Jennifer gave birth to a dead foal. Any
tears for her dead baby? Any shock that
Snuffy ran loose mounting mares for months before being gelded?
No tears, no remorse, no shock, just uneducated
drama queens looking for the next person to blame their troubles on. They’ve certainly secured their place on the
Karma Bus. It’s going to be delightful
to see their reactions when it arrives.

For the horses killed this week our hearts are heavy. RIP dear souls.
