2 MICHIGAN HORSES IN NEED OF RESCUING! CAN ANYONE OFFER ANY HELP!!

I'm posting this blog in desperation of 2 horses that need rescuing within my area. I don't know of any rescue organizations in Michigan that can help me with this situation, any help would be greatly appreciated. I drove by this house and took pictures of 2 horses that are being starved to death. One horse, whose bones are visible in his/her ribs and hip area was examined by a vet and told authorities that the horse was healthy. The other horse, who looks to be in better condition than the other horse, had a wheezing sound and had a terrible cough. He/she was coughing so hard that he/she had to extend their head out straight in order to cough out properly. It looked like someone who has bronchitis, a bad case of it. I have posted the pictures that I took today below. Please, if anyone can help me with these horses, or if you know of anyone that can help me get these horses to a rescue facility and get the care they deserve, I would appreciate it tremendously!!! I'm going to contact the media tomorrow because Animal Control has closed the case and is doing nothing about it. I hope I get some responses from this blog, I'm desperate for some help! Below, please find the pictures of the 2 horses I'm talking about:






NOTICE THE HORSE IN THE BACK WITH IT'S HIP BONE STICKING OUT!



PLEASE, I'M BEGGING ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THESE HORSES! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE, AND WHAT FORM OF ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO GET RESULTS.

Thank you in advance for all your help and concern........WE ARE THEIR VOICE!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! AMERICAN'S AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER PLEASE MAKE THE CALL!

This blog is to give information to those who are serious about putting an end to horse slaughter. We need to move swiftly on this, and we can't just turn away. I know it's easier to say, "There are a lot of people out there who will make the calls, I don't need to do it." or "I don't have time." But if everyone had that same thought, horse slaughter would never come to an end. We are their voices, they are literally crying out to us to help them. Below is a memo from the organization "AMERICANS AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER", you can also find them on facebook. Please take a few minutes of your time to view the information below, and let your heart lead you into doing the right thing, and that is making the call to the Representative's in the House of Reps. Below you will find their phone numbers, and also a TOLL FREE number listed below. It will only take about 10 minutes of your time, but it would make a WORLD of difference to many horses who need us. :)

We need to act fast on this, as other states are tyring to open up Slaughter Facilities in their own states! Montana is just one of those states who past to have Horse Slaughter in their state. It's nice to know that Montana agreed to have a foreign company open up a plant to slaughter OUR horses and ship them to their own Foreign Countries for their own profit!! Let's do something at a Federal level that will prevent Montana and other U.S. states from doing the same thing!! Make the call, PLEASE!!

TO ANYONE WHO LOVES HORSES! PLEASE PLACE YOUR BETS!

To anyone that loves horses, and wants a chance to do a good deed in saving some horses from slaughter. Pure Thoughts Horse Rescue has come up with a way for people to have fun with placing bets on the Preakness Race and Belmont, and have their bets go towards saving horses from slaughter! What better way to encourage people to save a wonderful horse in need of saving. I would like to invite you to visit this site and "Place Your Bets" for the top 3 horses of your choice. Your money goes towards saving horses that are in danger of going to Horse Slaughter. The majority of horses going to slaughter are healthy and young race horses. The bet is only $2.00 per horse, which ends up being $6.00 total. Here is the website: https://www.purethoughtshorserescue.com/index.php
the bet is for the Preakness Race coming up. Your $6.00 bet is a little price to pay, but would mean so much to a horse that can be saved from horse slaughter. Also, if you win, you will get some nice prizes also. Check out the site for more details!
Thank you so much for your support, and for caring so much about our American Horses!
