"NO!" she yelled, running to the door and wrenching it open, "STOP!!STOP!!" She immediately wished she hadn't opened the door. As she did, the man there smiled unpleasantly at her, and hit the flip.
She heard the poulain, colt cry out, and whinny anxiously to her. Tears streamed down her face as she ran to switch and tried to turn it off.
Nothing worked, and the horrible shredded came down. "AHHH!!!"...

Horse Slaughtering: The New Terrorism?

With all the other problems piling up — soaring energy costs, the war in Iraq, tens of millions of Americans with no health-care insurance, skyrocketing federal debt — Republicans were bound to get a kick in the rear when the only bill they considered this week on the House floor was one to look out for the welfare of horses. Democrats stampeded to complain. "I'm concerned about horses, but I'm much much plus concerned about the American people," snapped House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer.

Helping Hearts Equine Rescue is an amazing thing. When a horse doesnt get sold they go to the slaughter house! This organization writes a liste of the chevaux who dont get sold, gather as much information about them as they can, and give them a seconde chance of being sold. Every Wednesday they do this. The chevaux are also very good tempered and dont have any majar issues at all! For the best of it they put these chevaux under $1000! It is literally a small price to pay to give these chevaux a better life. So every Wednesday go to the Helping Hearts Equine Rescue link on this club's link liste to see the chevaux who need to be saved.
