H.R. 503 is the bill that's currently sitting on the floor of the US House of Representatives. Its predecessor, H.R. 6598, was not passed by the last Congress.
H.R. 503 will finally make it ilegal to transport all equines (horses, burros, donkeys) across US borders for the purpose of slaughter.
Every day that this bill is not signed, each day it is not law--horses are dying a painful, cruel, vicious, violent death. Greed is the root of this cruelty-soul wrenching pain is the end result.
The ONLY ones who benefit from the slaughter of horses are the killer-buyers; New Holland and Texas auction houses--and the Ag lobbyists, who make obscene amounts of money working to convince Congress people that ending horse slaughter will eventually topple American agriculture.
That's a crock-a lie-a slippery slope of lies. Every check written to an Ag lobbyist is written in the blood of a dead horse.
Please contact your Congressperson, and tell them that you want them to sign this bill, and make it law.
Go to the 'site for Congress, and find your Rep. It will take you TWO minutes to call and tell them that you want H.R. 503 passed.
http://www.house.gov
If you're outside the United States, we need your support, too! Please contact the United States Congress--most notably the office of Rep. John Conyers (Democrat/Michigan)--he's the good man who originated this bill. Please contact his office, via email or phone, to thank him; tell him that you're not an American--but that you're watching what the US is doing. America must be aware that the world is watching--Mr. Conyers cares about the horses, and he should know that you do, too.
(Rep. John Conyers):
Phone: (313) 961-5670

Gandhi is quoted as saying,
"A society is judged by its treatment of its weakest members," and "A society is judged by its treatment of its animals."
Whichever is the correct quote--the great man was right.
And, that being the case--America, and those horse people who are willing to murder their horses for a few bucks--will be judged very harshly, indeed.
I WILL BE CALLING MY CONGRESSMAN TODAY AND URGE HIM TO GET HIS/HER NAME ON THE H.R.503BILL AND CO-SPONSOR IT!! WE CAN'T WAIT TO ACT, OUR HORSES NEED US, THEY NEED OUR VOICES!! GO THE THE LINK ABOVE TO FIND OUT WHO YOUR CONGRESSMAN IS AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER, AND PLEASE MAKE THE CALL, IT ONLY TAKES 2 MINUTES OUT OF YOUR DAY. BUT IT WILL MEAN THE WORLD TO A HORSE GOING TO SLAUGHTER. REMEMBER THIS QUOTE FROM GOD THAT'S IN THE BIBLE:
.......and the Lord said,"I have created the horse to be my most beautiful and prized creation. How sad I am that man has made him his slave. I will warn my beloved animal: It hurts me to know that you cannot run free and happy in the meadows. You will be owned by man. Heed this warning: You must look man in the eye, and if you see your own reflection, he will be a kind master. But if you see in his eye money and greed, he will be a cruel master, and he will kill you. One day, you will stand before me to testify toward your master's stewardship while you were in his care, and vengeance for you will be mine."
Are you doing all you can to make this world a better place to live in?

PLEASE HELP THE FUTURE OF THESE HORSES THAT ARE IN DANGER!!
In the post below this one that you are reading, I warned you about a Horse Farm who is doing unjustice to their horses. The company name is CRANBERRY RUN FARM, and their website is WWW.CRANBERRYRUNFARM.COM. I contacted this lady (Tracey) who is the owner of this farm and told her how it is a disgrace with what she is doing to her horses that she retrieves and sells. This post will show you the ignorance and cruelity this person truly has for horses. Her website makes her business sound like she cares for all her horses, but in reality they are just a commodity to her. This is what she emailed me when I confronted her on the post she typed on someone else's blog. I'm here to give you the facts and nothing but. Notice how she tries to pin the blame on someone else, but never denies saying what she said in her post. Here it is:
THIS IS WHAT I EMAILED TO HER:
I read this post response that you made to a lady's anti-slaughter post
on yahoo, and I was appalled that there are people like you out there.
And the most scary thing is, you make your website look like you care
about your horses, when in reality you can care less. There are many
horse lovers and rescuers out there that will be trying to put you out
of business after I sent this post to them. This is what you said in your
post:
I AM WELL AWARE OF HOW THE SLAUGHTER MARKET WORKS. I AM ALSO AWARE THAT HORSES ARE LIVESTOCK AND NOT "DOMESTIC PETS ". AS WITH MY CATTLE, CHICKENS, ETC. THEY ARE PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF, UNTIL IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO BECOME MY DINNER. I DO BELIEVE THE KILL BUYERS ARE NEEDED AND PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT SERVICE. THERE IS NO NEED TO WASTE OUR VALUABLE GREENLAND ON A NASTY PIECE OF TRASH. I DO TAKE MY TRASH AND NO LONGER USEFUL FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED TO SALES. INFACT, I SENT A PONY TO AUCTION LAST NIGHT. HE BROUGHT LESS THAN $100 IN THE RING, SO I ASSUME HE IS GOING TO A MINK FARMER. HE WAS KICKED HIS LAST PERSON, WHEN HE KICKED ME. I GET DOZENS OF RACE HORSES EVERY YEAR. I PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE TRAINERS AT MANY DIFFERENT TRACKS. THE HORSES ARE TURNED OVER TO ME AND I HAVE TO DECIDE IF IT IS WORTHY OF A SECOND CHANCE. MANY OF MY EX RACERS DO GET SECOND CAREERS, BUT THE TRASH GETS SENT TO THE SALES. SOMETIMES EVEN THE GOOD ONES END UP AT SALES. I GIVE THEM A 30 DAY GET OUT OF JAIL CARD. IF I CANT GET THEM SOLD, AND MOST ARE SOLD VERY CHEAP, THEN THEY GO TO AUCTION TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEXT GROUP. I DO NEED TO COVER MY EXPENSES, WHICH MEANS I NEED TO TURN THEM OVER QUICKLY. MY HORSE CUSTOMERS ARE TREATED THE SAME AS MY CATTLE CUSTOMERS. I DONT HARASS THEM AND I DONT TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR PURCHASE. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO KEEP A BLACK ANGUS AS A PET, WELL THATS ON THEM, BUT IT IS NOT FOR ME TO SAY ONCE THEY HAVE PAID FOR IT. HERE IS SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR YOU. OUR DOGS AND CATS WERE NOT BEING POISONED, WHEN WE WERE FEEDING THEM HORSE MEAT. SINCE THE HORSE MEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A BUNCH OF IMPORTED FILLERS " IE RICE PROTEIN ". WE ARE NOW KILLING OUR OWN PETS. OUR ECONOMY IS IN THE TOILET, THE UNEMPLOYMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL, AND WE HAVE PEOPLE GOING TO BED HUNGRY. WE ARE SENDING OUR LIVESTOCK " HORSES" OUT OF THE COUNTRY, SO WE CAN BUY BACK THE FINISHED PRODUCT (IE LEATHER ). WHAT THE HELL, HAVE WE ALL LOST OUR MINDS.

I hope you have enough fear of the Lord to start changing your ways and the way you see horses, because here is what it says in the Bible:
The Lord's Wrath For His Horses
As it says in the Bible:
.......and the Lord said,"I have created the horse to be my most beautiful and prized creation. How sad I am that man has made him his slave.

One day, you will stand before me to testify toward your master's stewardship while you were in his care, and vengeance for you will be mine."
Horses were not meant for meat in God's eyes. They were not meant for human consumption like cows, pigs, chickens and etc. Your ignorance will eventually catch up with you when it's your time to leave this world, and may God have mercy on your soul, because you're going to need it. Money is the root of all evil, and you look at your horses as a commodity, not as God's beloved creatures. I'm just getting the word out there about your business, what's nice about this Country is the Freedom of Speech and the press.........You are a pathetic excuse of a human-being. Your post that you stated above will be all over the internet very quickly, and it's nobody's fault but your own for posting such an ignorant post. It's amazing how the first 4 letters of your last name spells out WICH, I guess you live up to that.
THIS IS WHAT SHE EMAILED BACK TO ME: Notice how she points fingers and never denies saying what she said in her post.
Just for your information, this response was not to a yahoo post. This was a response to a dreamhorse spammer, that sent this to me, after I sold an ottb. The ad was marked sold and had been marked for over a month. Her email is now blocked by dreamhorse. She has no business pushing her views on anybody. This post will do nothing to hurt my business. My customer buy horses from me, because I sell top quality stock. Selling dangerous or misrepresented livestock will destroy a business.
CRF
THIS IS WHAT I EMAILED BACK TO HER:
What you typed in your post only shows how little you care for the well-being of your horses. Eventually, you will be out of business. I know a lot of famous and popular people who are outraged at your post. They know many Race Track owners and deal with them daily. You will get what is coming to you, and that is the loss of your business. What goes around comes around, and you mistreating God's precious creatures is just his way of showing you his vengeance, YOUR BUSINESS GOING BELLY UP! I will continue to fight horse slaughter so people like you can't just sell them off to a killer buyer for some small change because you don't want to spend the time to sell them to a good home. Like you said, you have to turn them over quickly, even if you have to sell them to a killer buyer. You disgust me and many others by what you posted. Your words mean nothing to me, because I know what kind of person you really are. People like you will always point the finger at the other person, when you are the only one to blame for your actions. You don't even post any pictures of these so called cheaper for sale horses. But you say in your post that you get tons of horses from race track owners, trainers and etc. Well then why don't you post them on your web as for sale? Instead you give them to killer buyers because you only give a horse 30 days to get sold, you are cruel and should be shutdown, and you will be. I will keep sending out your post to 100's of people and horse lovers. Believe me, word of mouth has shutdown many business in the past. And all us horse lovers are determined to shut you down. That's all I have to say to you, I don't waist to much breath on a person like you. Just as I thought, your mentality can't comprehend treating horses with dignity and respect that they deserve. I bet you never took the time to look a horse in his or her eyes with love and respect, you're to shallow of a person to do something like that. But like I said, God has his time coming with you, and I do have to admit, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when you get to the other side. I'm sure it will be very dark and hot down there!!
THIS IS WHAT SHE EMAILED BACK TO ME:
Please send some of those famous people my way. My Monday morning started with a phone call to take 22 race horses to the auction "NOW"! I hauled 10 and had to get a local dealer to take the rest. I am the go to person, as most of the problem lies with the " goody two shoes " that just want the problem out of their barn, but dont have the balls to step up to the plate. Its about to be the opening of breeding season, I already have a full book, plus foals are already on the ground. The last thing I have time for is hauling horses to auction.
The 200 per head I make isnt worth the time, but like I said I provide a much needed service.
AND FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT I TYPED BACK TO HER:
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS YOU'RE A DISGUSTING PERSON. YOU CAN CARE LESS ABOUT HORSES AND WHAT THEY GO THROUGH WHEN THEY GO TO SLAUGHTER. NOW, I WILL KICK MY DETERMINATION INTO FULL GEAR IN GETTING YOU SHUT DOWN. THANK YOU FOR THESE EMAILS THAT I CAN POST AND LET OTHERS KNOW HOW YOU REALLY ARE. YOU NEED SOME BRAINS LADY!! GOOD-BYE, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEWS WHEN I READ THAT "CRANBERRY RUN FARM" IS OUT OF BUSINESS!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO A VERY DARK PLACE WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I'M GLAD I WON'T SEE YOU IN HEAVEN WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT I GET THERE!!

BEWARE OF THIS HORSE BUYER AND SELLER! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!
I had to post this on my blog in hopes of other horse lovers out there to copy and paste this on their sites. I want this woman to be put out of business. She's a disgrace to the horses and to us humans. Please read the following:
I received this post, and it was so disturbing that I had to ask you if there was any way we can get this lady's name and Company name out there to all the race tracks, so they don't do business with her. you have more connections than I do by far. Can you help me get the word out? Here is the post I received from a friend and fellow horse owner.
This post below is the response to an anti-slaugher e-flyer sent out by a member of the AC4H rescue group blog I belong to on yahoo. It was sent by a pro-slaughter HORSE BREEDER!! Ironically, this woman helps support her paint breeding operation by being a go between for horses rejected by race trainers/owners, etc. and others; to kill buyers. This woman refers to horses that she can't turn over in 30 days from this activity as "trash". She has a nice website for selling and promoting her paint stallion and his get; that I looked up and found NO images of the horses she buys cheap and turns over quickly to kill buyers if necessary; on her site. So they are not even worthy of that effort that would cost her nothing to do. She is the kind of horsewoman that helps make this terrible irony of slaughter and horse abuse continue. Take note of her farm name, and remember it when you consider buying a paint. Please pass this on if you can. Copy and paste.

AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION (AQHA) NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS!!!
No breed is more proudly represented in the slaughter trucks rolling toward the abattoirs of Canada and Mexico than the Quarter Horse.
~ by: John Holland from the Roanoke Times, October 13, 2008
The AQHA is constantly whining about all the unwanted and abandoned horses. At the recent AQHA convention, Bill Brewer, the AQHA Executive VP made the following statement “…our challenge becomes looking at ways to introduce an “equine economic stimulus package” that will boost registration numbers so we don’t have a horse shortage in a few years.” Which is it, Mr. Brewer; too many horses or a shortage?
This is priceless. They produce over 130,000 foals each year. According to the USDA, the majority of horses going to slaughter are Quarter Horses. They warn Congress of the 100,000 unwanted horses and now they want an incentive to breed more. BTW-in case you didn't know, they are pro slaughter…
According to USDA statistics, the Quarter Horse represents the highest breed count going to slaughter. In 2006, the AQHA brought 144,000 foals into the population. In 2007, over 135,000 foals were brought into the population. Every year, there are tens of thousands more QH foals born than the number of horses slaughtered. Every year, there are well over 100,000 more QHs brought into the population than the next highest breed count, Thoroughbreds.
When is the AQHA going to answer to this?
When is the AQHA going to start promoting responsible breeding?
Why does the AQHA spend hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting horse slaughter instead of establishing programs to educate and assist owners in need?
How many of the 5 Million registered Quarter Horses have been sent to slaughter?
The National Horse Protection League asked for slogans that convey your disgust with the AQHA. It’s titled Five Words to Stop Slaughter.
Here a few I’ve seen thus far.
Quarter Horses: Not Quarter Pounders
Another Quarter Horse Assassinated
Horse; It’s NOT for Dinner
Keep the Best; Slaughter the Rest (okay, that’s 6 words)
Quarter Horses Born for Slaughter
Quarter Horse Policies Part of the Problem, Not the Solution
Members of the AQHA need to put their foot down and demand that the AQHA stop breeding irresponsibly and tell them to stop supporting horse slaughter!!
Are you doing all you can to make this world a better place to live in?

At the recent AQHA convention, Bill Brewer, the AQHA Executive VP made the following statement “…our challenge becomes looking at ways to introduce an “equine economic stimulus package” that will boost registration numbers so we don’t have a horse shortage in a few years.” Which is it, Mr. Brewer; too many horses or a shortage?
This is priceless. They produce over 130,000 foals each year. According to the USDA, the majority of horses going to slaughter are Quarter Horses. They warn Congress of the 100,000 unwanted horses and now they want an incentive to breed more. BTW-in case you didn't know, they are pro slaughter…
According to USDA statistics, the Quarter Horse represents the highest breed count going to slaughter. In 2006, the AQHA brought 144,000 foals into the population. In 2007, over 135,000 foals were brought into the population. Every year, there are tens of thousands more QH foals born than the number of horses slaughtered. Every year, there are well over 100,000 more QHs brought into the population than the next highest breed count, Thoroughbreds.
When is the AQHA going to answer to this?
When is the AQHA going to start promoting responsible breeding?
Why does the AQHA spend hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting horse slaughter instead of establishing programs to educate and assist owners in need?
How many of the 5 Million registered Quarter Horses have been sent to slaughter?
The National Horse Protection League asked for slogans that convey your disgust with the AQHA. It’s titled Five Words to Stop Slaughter.
Here a few I’ve seen thus far.
Quarter Horses: Not Quarter Pounders
Another Quarter Horse Assassinated
Horse; It’s NOT for Dinner
Keep the Best; Slaughter the Rest (okay, that’s 6 words)
Quarter Horses Born for Slaughter
Quarter Horse Policies Part of the Problem, Not the Solution
Members of the AQHA need to put their foot down and demand that the AQHA stop breeding irresponsibly and tell them to stop supporting horse slaughter!!

PUT THE PRESSURE ON THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER!
Senator Larry Craig - famous for misbehaving in a different kind of stall - is using stall tactics on the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.
His threat to hold up Senate consideration of the bill (S.311 by Sens. Landrieu and Ensign) is putting thousands of horses in danger of ruthless killer buyers who want to buy horses at auction and haul them to Mexico or Canada for a gruesome demise.
Tell your Senator to Stop the Larry Craig Stall.
Please do it today: Follow the link below and send your Senator a message.
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5270/t/1875/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=197
And please forward this message to 10 of your horse-loving friends, asking them to do the same.
Thanks for all you do to protect horses.

VICTORY FOR HORSES!
In a stunning last-minute move, the 2,000 healthy wild mustangs slated for euthanasia by the Bureau of Land Management have been saved.
"Madeleine Pickens, wife of billionare T. Boone Pickens, made known her intentions to adopt not just the doomed wild horses but most or all of the 30,000 horses and burros kept in federal holding pens," the Washington Post reported. Any of these 30,000 horses kept in federal custody could have been sold by the BLM "without restriction," meaning they could have been sold for slaughter.
"Lifelong animal lovers, the Pickenses just a few years ago led the fight to close the last horse slaughterhouse in the United States." And now, they have assured that 30,000 horses will be allowed live out their lives in comfort. The National Horse Protection League applauds Madeline Pickens for her extraordinary compassion.

A HORSE NAMED SITKA DESPERATELY NEEDS OUR HELP!
SHILOH HORSE RESCUE "A Place Of Peace For Horses In Need"
www.shilohhorserescue.com
Sitka needs your help!
The Sitka Magic Leg Fund
Help us, Help her
We have created a Sitka's Magic Leg Fund to collect donations to help us purchase a custom made prosthetic leg. Sitka has a very deformed and crippled front foot. Years ago she shattered both of her Sesamoid bones in her foot. Although euthanasia was considered at that time, we decided to try a special splint. Sitka did remarkably well in the splint, which she had to wear for almost a full year. After the splint was finally able to be taken off, she was put into specially constructed shoes. Finally after the broken area had fused as well as it could, she was able to walk freely. But, over the last few years, her leg and foot have slowly curled over as Nature found it's own way to stabilaize her foot. It is now this deformity that is causing her pain, because she bears the majority of her weight on what is really her tip of the coffin bone, and her bone is breaking down. Her quality of life has diminished and euthanasia is now being considered. Recently our vets recommended actually amputating her foot and putting on a prosthetic, but the cost was estimated at $10,000 to $12,000, far too much for the rescue to afford.
Then we were contacted by a man named Ronnie Graves in Florida (thanks to Blue Moon's adopter, Carol). Ronnie is an amputee himself and he has successfully designed custom made prosthetics for horses and burros. After looking at Sitka's photos he thinks that he can help her. He can create a prosthetic which fits over her leg, which would eliminate the need to amputate the foot.
This is experimental, we don't have a guarantee that this will work for Sitka, but we are going to try it for her sake. Sitka is healthy in every other way, her blood work is perfect, she has a great appetite, and her will to live is strong. Sitka will live out her life at Shiloh.
Mom (Sitka) and Baby Foal (Sunday) Napping Together
"Sunday" taking a walk
Another complicating factor that we have had to consider is her young foal, Sunday. Sunday was a surprise foal (the result of what we think must have been a late night rendevous with Carson, a young feedlot colt before he was gelded. That is a whole other Shiloh story in it's self!). Sunday was born premature and with his medical history and his young age of only three months, he is still too young to be weaned from his mom.
The estimated cost of this Magic Leg is $4,000.00 (the actual cost to make it).
Please consider a donation to Sitka's Magic Leg Fund to help us her give her a better quality of life. We will keep a running total of the donations received, receipts will be given, and all donations are tax deductable.
All donations collected at this month's Las Vegas Pet Expo that Shiloh will be attending will go into this Fund as well.
HUGE thanks to everyone who is supporting Sitka!
Visiting Shiloh anytime soon? Bring an extra carrot for Sitka and spend some time with her. She needs all of the support and love she can get right now.
The Shiloh Charitable Trust is a non profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating slaughter bound, abused, neglected, injured, unwanted horses of all types.
Shiloh is located in Sandy Valley, outside of Las Vegas, NV.
