(As THOR recovers, he will have dental care issues to be addressed. For now he can only eat three small meals a day and any carrots and apples must be given in small bite-size pieces still merrily crunchible).

MORE ABOUT E.P.O.N.A.'s THOR

MEET THOR, now being sponsored by Bill & Carole Shaw, Campaign For Barbaro's New Hampshire Cochairs. On Saturday October 7, Carole made a special trip to Epping, New Hampshire, towing goodies of baby carrots and apples plus special Flex formula cookies to help E.P.O.N.A.'s (Equine Protection Of North America, one of our team links) with Thor's veterinary needs. He is a 16 year-old ARTIC WHITE Percheron gelding at 17.5 hands high with dental issues to be addressed over the next few weeks. A second special visit is planned for this coming Saturday, October 21, 2006 with another basket of goodies in store for THOR, KATIE, PETEY, GUY (aka JAKE), and several others now stabled and up for adoption soon.

E.P.O.N.A.'s newest rescue THOR takes a break to snort: Photo by Carole Shaw, October 7, 2006 October 7, 2006 Photo by Carole Shaw E.P.O.N.A.'s KATIE is being sponsored in part by the EXCELLER FUND. Please read more below about how EXCELLER became a martyr for Thoroughbred horses everywhere. Even when The Movie SEABISCUIT was made, EXCELLER used "RICH IN DALLAS" one of the seven thoroughbreds used to help make the smash hit a star. We will feature more about him in another update on the EXCELLER FUND.

KATIE (21 year-old Thoroughbred) was rescued the same day as THOR back in early September 2006 when WMUR Channel 9 news arrived at E.P.O.N.A. to record their safe arrival in horse trailers. Twelve volunteers assisted to ensure their safety and care. It was a rather cold day when visiting them Saturday, October 7, 2006. Both THOR and KATIE still have bony hindquarters; but KATIE still has ribs showing and the blankets kindly hide those. She is extremely affectionate and came over for several neck rubs. She currently has at least five adopters hoping to have her. Generally, EXCELLER FUND assists E.P.O.N.A. with retired Thoroughbreds from the racetracks.

Most curious and gentle PETEY loves carrots and attention; photo by Carole Shaw. Congradulations to July's Poster Horse of The Month (named by E.P.O.N.A.) as he goes to his new home by October 31, 2006.

"Many of these glorious horses behave like large friendly dogs or a child and nuzzle your hands, face, and shoulders"... From my experience - Cle Shaw.

PETEY, has been adopted and will be going to his new home at the end of October 2006. He is one very lucky horse who was featured back in late July as E.P.O.N.A.'s "Horse Of The Month."

Besides PETEY, there were opportunities to meet CHANCE and ICEMAN - two permanent residents being sponsored for life with E.P.O.N.A. Their amazing true stories can be viewed entirely at http://www.eponarescue.org/Retirement.htm .

CHANCE was quite a famous event horse. When only 6 years-old, he suffered a terrible leg fracture during a bizarre ice storm a few years ago. His break was just below his knee. Initial prognosis was good following orthopedic surgery until cracks in his cast went unnoticed and his leg bones fused crooked. Severe crippling was permanent. At 10 years-old, this warm blood remains a lifer with E.P.O.N.A. under full sponsorship. Contributions are welcome directly through E.P.O.N.A.

Six months ago, ICEMAN had his eyes surgically removed because of a serious complication. It caused extremely severe eye pain from a optic degenerative nerve disease that shrinks the eye tissue involved. He remains in a special stall at night with CUZ of CAM (Lucky). He is 18 hands high, chesnut, and a Thoroughbred cross. Plus, he is the 15 year-old grandson of "acclaimed NORTHERN DANCER." After viewing photos of him at the peak of his performing events, one could only give this horse respect! Sadly, he too, became a victim of neglect as he became blind. When he was rescued, his right eye was visibly shrunken due to Uveitis, a horribly painful degenerative eye disease. Despite attempts to place him with former owners by working with New Hampshire Equine Humane Association, he was brought back to EPONA after his eye condition worsened. Today, he shares his quarters with CAM (LUCKY) in a special double compartment stall.

LUCKY is also called CUZ of CAM, an 11 year-old Standardbred gelding bought at a New Holland auction in Pennsylvania. "The EXCELLER FUND" outbid a killer buyer in order to save Cam's life from the slaughterhouse." His rescue is in honor the the 23 Standardbred horses that died in Gaitway's stable fire in New Jersey, November 23, 2000. CAM's tatoo is not legible so his ownership could not be determined. Upon medical examination he had Strangles which was contained and his life was saved. It is believed he was heavily used by the Amish as a carriage horse. At one point, he was to be euthanized. But thanks to Barbara Kraus of the EXCELLER FUND, his prognosis of survival greatly improved after treatments were started following medicinal monthly injections advised by a veterinarian out west. So now CAM (LUCKY)resides permanently with EPONA thanks to the Heinemann Corporation's generous donations.

VISITING IS ENCOURAGED and works best by appointment as there are team leaders/staff there then to assist and answer questions. Because certain horses require extra special care, they cannot have people just show up unannounced. There are liability issues involved if someone's child unattended, gets hurt. That is why appointments are made. Saturdays - visiting hours are generally 3:30 to 6:00 pm. Staff must work around you while there to feed and water the horses requiring special extra meals like THOR. ICEMAN needs EXTRA CARE as he is blind. THANK YOU and appreciate your interest and sponsoring care! (PLEASE NOTE: As it gets darker earlier, the hours will change to earlier times so you can visit during daylight hours).

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue organization, your membership, sponsorship,

ABOUT THE EXCELLER FUND

EXCELLER's TRIUMP TO TRAGEDY

EXCERPT FROM DAILY RACING FORUM

by Mike Mullaney, Features Editor, August 3, 1997

EXCELLER stopped being EXCELLER when breeder interest waned. At that point, he became just another horse. His final destination was similiar to that of an estimated three million American horses from 1986-1996.

Anne Pagmar, who led him to slaughter, said EXCELLER knew what was going on . He smelled blood and expressed fear. Tied off and hung by a single hind limb, fractious (rebellious) horses thrash while their executioners bludgeon and bludgeon. They are alive when their throats are cut and they are bled to death.

It is an unpleasant reality; it isn't the topic of pleasant conversation, and probably won't be part of next Sunday's Round Table agenda.

One American horseman, when told of EXCELLER's last walk, said, "They have to die sometime."

That response leads to another question: How hardened must the human spirit become to survive in this sport?

Not everyone has grown cold. Christine Picavet galloped horses after coming to America from France, and one of those horses was EXCELLER. She went on to become a noted artist and she painted the horse twice. She still bears the scar of a playful bite. When she heard EXCELLER's story, she struggled for words describing his generosity and kind disposition. Then, in tears, she apologized, begged for time to compose herself and put the phone down. Could that horseman's emotionless response be a product of denial?

Haven't you wondered what happens to horses who won't survive surgery? Not many get the sendoff GO FOR WAND or RUFFIAN received, with services and burial in the infield of a major racetrack. Horsemeat is still favored in many of Europe's industrial countries, and many stockyards that specialize in this particular trade in America are European owned.

There are several grassroots organizations...to save horses from slaughter such as the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, created by Monique Koehler; the UNITED PEGASUS FOUNDATION, run by Helen Meredith; the EQUIS FOUNDATION, presided over by Linda Moss; and the CALIFORNIA EQUINE FOUNDATION, with Kathleen Doyle as its President. Doyle is trying to push through the California Legislature a proposal called "Save the Horses," which would classify horses as companion animals, not as animals bred to be slaughtered, and make out-of-state exportation of horses for slaughter a felony. Doyle needs 600,000 signatures on a petition this summer for the proposal to be put on the ballot in November 1998.

Monique, Linda, Helen, and Kathleen...see a pattern? With few exceptions, men are conspicuously absent from this initiative, and so, too, are racing executives.

But there is one last nagging question: If complaints of poor customer service fall on the deaf ears of racing executives, what chance do horses have?

Unique Superstar Exceller Met Tragic End
By MIKE MULLANEY July 20, 1997
Features Editor
Daily Racing Form

Exceller's name was listed on the ballot for election to the Hall of Fame in April. Also that month, if the account of two people close to the horse is to be believed, his name went on the list of equine martyrs.

*
Best remembered as the only horse to beat two Triple Crown winners, he proved his quality on a global scale by winning graded or Group 1 stakes on both sides of the Atlantic. Upon his retirement in 1979, he was sent to stud at Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Ky., where he sired several stakes winners, but nothing spectacular, then was sold and sent to Sweden in 1991. He was all but forgotten until Daily Racing Form recently began a search for him as part of its "Whatever Happened To" series.

*
The search was completed three months too late; Exceller was put down April 7. According to both the woman who tended to him-and whose duty it became to kill him-and to the director of the Scandinavian Racing Bureau, he wasn't destroyed because he was ill or injured, but because he had become a liability to his bankrupt owner, Gote Ostlund, who didn't care to spend diminishing resources on a horse from whom he couldn't profit.

*
Ostlund, an owner and trainer of standardbred horses, was making his entrance into thoroughbred racing when he purchased Exceller from owner Nelson Bunker Hunt for an undisclosed sum. Ostlund speaks limited English, but on Wednesday he told Daily Racing Form that Exceller, 24 at the time of his death, was dead because "he was very old."

*
Ann Pagmar, who owns Jaboruder, the small farm in central Sweden where Exceller spent the last year of his life, offers a sinister motive behind Exceller's death, and her story is backed by Bjorn Zachrisson, director of the SRB.

*
"Shortly after Exceller came to me last year, the owner called and told me to kill the horse because he couldn't pay for him," Pagmar told DRF. "He said that since we weren't breeding Exceller, there was nothing else to do with him. The owner didn't want to pay for a stallion license and he wasn't paying me, so I offered to take Exceller, to buy the stallion license and to breed him. "He wouldn't give him to me, saying the horse shouldn't keep moving from one owner to another. The stud fees would help me get paid, but the owner was very stubborn. He wanted to kill the horse.

*
Over the next few months he called several times, asking if I had killed Exceller yet, and I kept telling him I needed written authorization. He finally sent it to me in April. He told me to bring the horse to the slaughterhouse, and that's what I had to do."

*
While Zachrisson says he didn't see the notice himself, he said that Pagmar had been updating him and told him when the notice arrived. "She was very upset by all of this," Zachrisson said.

*
Pagmar details a heart-wrenching story that led to Exceller's final moments.
*
"I had him a year," she said, "and I became very close to him, like I do with all my horses. He was stressed when he first came to me because he had been diagnosed with some sort of infection and he hadn't been bred in a few years. At the farm he came from, he had been standing next to the stallion who got all the mares. He wasn't allowed to breed, so he had to watch, and that made him very angry. After some time here he recovered mentally and physically.

*
"Exceller was very nervous when he arrived here, but in time he became a different horse. My other horses are Shetland ponies, and soon he calmed down to the point where he would walk with them, even play with them. He was in super condition. The owner never visited to see for himself. It didn't seem to matter. He told me to take Exceller to the slaughterhouse, and I walked him over myself," Pagmar said.

*
"I made an appointment because I wanted to get it over with quick, but they were very busy when we got there and we had to wait. Exceller knew what was going on; he didn't want to be there. Standing with him like that . . . it made me feel like Judas."

*
Pagmar said she didn't know what happened to Exceller after she left him, and didn't care to know.

*
"No, no burial ground, no stone, nothing," she said. When asked what happened to the body, Ostlund said he didn't understand the question.
Ostlund did tell DRF that Exceller was sterile at the time of his death, but Pagmar says, "We bred him to a mare early this year and she got in foal, and the only reason she didn't carry the foal to term was that she was very old."

*
Zachrisson told DRF, "Ann told me that Exceller 'looked like a million bucks,' and in my book he still looked like he had one or two good years left in him as a stallion."

*
Zachrisson said Exceller's troubles began in 1995, when he was "rumored" to have been infected with an undetermined disease. He didn't cover any mares that year and was later moved to Denmark, where he remained idle until 1996, when he was moved to Jaboruder.
"Many breeders lost interest when he was rumored to have been infected," Zachrisson said, "but he was no failure at all. With his first crop of 2-year-olds in 1994, he was second on the stallion list (as a sire of 2-year-olds) with 14 runners and five winners. In 1995 he was sixth on the general list with 29 offspring and 13 winners and third on the 2-year-old list with 11 runners and four winners. In 1996 he was fourth on the general list with 29 runners and 10 winners."

*
Zachrisson said Exceller covered 41 mares in 1991, his first year in Sweden; 40 in '92; 20 in '93; and 17 in '94. Of the resulting foals, 58 were registered. He had been standing at Stuteri Sac in Landskrona, 30 miles north of Malmo in southern Sweden, until the 1995 season, after which he was moved to Vasaholm Stud, also near Malmo.

*
"He was in good health and apparently had no fertility problems after covering that test mare successfully earlier this year," Zachrisson said. "The only reason he did not cover any other mares this year was because his owner was placed on the forfeit list in 1996. Ostlund officially went bankrupt, which put him on the list, and rules are that no one on the list can have any financial transactions in thoroughbred racing.

*
"This is the sad fact and does not reflect on the good merits of Exceller."
****************************

Exceller Remembered As A Truly Class Act
By MIKE MULLANEY
Features Editor
Daily Racing Form

When told of Exceller's demise, Charlie Whittingham, the horse's trainer in 1978 and early 1979, said, "It's a sad thing . . . you'd expect more from people. He sure ran some awfully big races for me."
Before he came to Whittingham, the Kentucky-bred was trained in France by Maurice Zilber and Francois Mathet.

*
He won a maiden event and placed in two group races at 2, and as a 3-year-old-though he won the Prix Royal-Oak and Grand Prix de Paris-he was overshadowed by Nelson Bunker Hunt's other stars, Derby winners Empery and Youth.

*
He was maturing, however, and at 4 Exceller won the Coronation Cup and beat the classic winner Crow in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. He also ran third to Epsom-Irish Derby winner The Minstrel in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

*
With his arrival in the U.S. that fall, Exceller began a series of entertaining jousts with Johnny D. and Majestic Light. The former took the Washington D.C. International, the latter the Man o' War, and Exceller the Canadian International Championship. But when Johnny D. won the Turf Classic, he won the championship.

*
Exceller then went to Whittingham, and early in '78 he won the Arcadia (carrying 126 pounds, spotting the runner-up 13), San Juan Capistrano (126, giving Noble Dancer a pound and a beating), Hollywood Invitational (127, giving runner-up Bowl Game, eventual turf champion of '79, four pounds), Hollywood Gold Cup (beating Text, Vigors and J.O. Tobin, running 10 furlongs on the main track in 1:59 1/5 under 128) and the Sunset (under 130).

*
Only Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew and Affirmed stood in the way of a Horse of the Year title. Slew beat Exceller in the Woodward, but Exceller got a break in Round 2, the Jockey Club Gold Cup, when Affirmed's saddle slipped and Slew's rider temporarily lost an iron.
A savage pace led to an epic performance as Exceller-22 lengths behind-rallied to beat Slew by a nose.

*
Exceller closed the campaign with a victory in the Oak Tree Invitational, but at season's end was left title-less as Affirmed took the Horse of the Year crown, Slew was named champion older horse and Mac Diarmida, who never ran against Exceller, was named the turf champion.

*
Exceller lost all four of his starts in '79 (though he placed in the Big 'Cap, Century and Capistrano) and was sent to Gainesway having won 15 races and $1,654,002 from 33 starts.

*
Marion Gross, stallion manager there, recalled him as "always a very healthy horse with a great temperament. I could show him anytime, and a 14-year-old kid could handle him."

HORSE SPEAKS THE TRUTH
Several highly reputable sources confirm 'OUR' AMERICAN HORSE PETS/COMPANIONS and WILD HORSES ARE BEING STOLEN at between 45 - 55 percent with the doubled efforts of these Horse Plants. They are moving them faster across CANADIAN and MEXICAN BORDERS. We know, based on facts, 30,000 are shipped up to Canada yet 10,000 - 20,000 are imported back to the USA to avoid detection that these horses are STOLEN. This is being done by an underground horse pipeline via horse rustlers who can move them across the borders at certain areas which are not guarded by border patrols as they do not have the manpower to deal with this. Our Wild Horses do not carry RFID locator chips and brand marks. Many stolen horse pets simply have the locator chips removed along with the their horse hairs being dyed and brands made indistinguishable.

UPDATE NEWS ON THE SAVED 25 by LONGMEADOW RESCUE RANCH OF MISSOURI: WHO WILL BE A HORSE HERO and SPONSOR?

Newest sponsors include Kerrie Daniels of Manes and Tails Organization who sponsored WHERE NEEDED MOST.

After conferencing with a private source yesterday afternoon this is what we now know:

One gentleman owns all twenty five horses that were scheduled to be slaughtered. His insurance company stepped in and paid him for damages to his socalled property of the 42 horses and 25 now still alive. The most critical will be determined if they survive by Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this upcoming week. Generally, there is a two week window of survival when horses are critcally injured. If Willie, Darla, Mama, and Princess make it past the critical stage by end of next week, they will likely survive their injuries and pneumonia complications. Currently they are at equine medical hospitals in intensive care. Only eight currently are with the ranch and the other 13 are in foster care recovering.

Regarding the ongoing battle for the Humane Society of Missouri, they are trying to work out a legal settlement with the owner's insurance company. There are other issues involved such as the over $50,000.00 in medical care incurred for these SAVED 25 as well as disaster highway cleanup and euthanization expenses paid by the Humane Society. Hopefully a deal can be worked out and they will gain full custody of these horses so they can eventually start a full rehabilitation program.

As far as donations and sponsoring goes, when one horse becomes adopted, then any charitable funds for that horse will be donated to another still needing care to cover veterinary costs and regular care. More updates will be available several times throughout the weeks ahead at:
http://www.hsmo.org/m_eventsprograms/inthenews.php

More info is also at http://www.hsmo.org/ and direct phone number for sponsoring is :314-951-1542. They may take several hours to get back to you but will within a 4 to 24 hour period and they take all major credit cards. You can specify which horse you wish to sponsor or can sponsor several and ask your donation be used to help where needed most for these SAVED 25.

Anyone wishing to adopt one of them can call 314-802-5712 and start the paperwork by phone.

Willie, Darla, Princess, Mama, Stan, Spirit, Jackpot, and Buckwheat are sponsored so far by our group and group 2. Let us know if anymore ambassadors and Fans of Barbaro sponsor please. THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DID ...Barbaro (Bobby) appreciates it!

First - the killer buyers were there - they were pointed out to her - but between Stephanie and other legit buyers, the killer buyers were consistently outbid ALL DAY and they have already LEFT WITHOUT BUYING ANY of the horses - THEY DID NOT GET A SINGLE ONE. They are no longer at the sale at this point.
*

Second - Steph said she was able to get every one of the horses that the FOB's were the most concerned about - and she is satisfied that the others that she did not get that we were concerned about, all went to legit good homes. In particular, the Belgian draft horse, who turned out to be very gentle and ridable, went to a family with kids.
*

Third - she has met Cloud and says he is a real sweetie. FYI - for those who didn't follow this part of the story earlier, Cloud, a 17 y.o. Appaloosa gelding in apparent good shape - had been bought by the killer buyers at a previous auction but was left behind because there was no room for him on the slaughter-house-bound truck. (!) Stephanie's local friend alerted her to this, and Steph arranged to buy him before the sale started. (You can see pics of Cloud at TWF; and Ernie already has a Cloud Tee-Shirt ready to go.)
*

Finally - she is not done yet - but at this point, including Cloud, MHR had bought six (6) horses - 2 of whom are pregnant - so eventually this means EIGHT horses in all after the babies are born. She DID GET THE OLD PREGNANT MARE (lot 42, 25 y.o. in foal); also DID GET the YOUNGER PREGNANT MARE (lot 31, 4 y.o.) with an unnumbered foal at her side [this is the 3-package deal we wanted her to get]. She also got an additional weanling filly who was not on the catalog list.
THANK YOU.

*****************************

FACT 1: "THE MOTHER OF ALL FACTS"

"CATTLE SHUTES AND BOLT GUNS ARE NOT DESIGNED AND WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE USED FOR HORSES. THEY HAVE MUCH LONGER NECKS THAN CATTLE AND REACT FAR DIFFERENTLY BY NATURE. THAT IS WHY THE BOLT GUN 'REMAINS INEFFECTIVE AFTER REPEATED BLOWS' AND IS PAINFULLY EVIDENT in FULLY DOCUMENTED VIDEOS -- THIS IS NOT HUMANE EUTHANASIA." Testimony of Dr. Patricia Hogan, Equine Surgeon(Washington DC, July 25, 2006 referencing unannounced visits to horse plants documenting by VIDEO how young, healthy horses throats are slit and killed while still alive, screaming, and kicking; (http://www.hsus.org/)
( http://www.hsus.org/video_clips/keep_horses_in_the_stable.html)


FACT 2: "ASK YOURSELVES THIS QUESTION"

WOULD ANY MEMBER OF THE AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association), or the AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners, or the AQHA (American Quarterhorse Association) or the AHC (American Horse Council) "humanely euthanize" their own horse companions using the captive bolt gun?

Unequivocally, NO ONE WOULD SAY YES! And there lies the key problem and here is its solution: PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN TEXAS and Illinois HORSE-KILLING HOUSES -- NEVER DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR KILLING OUR COMPANION HORSES!

********************

The other main reason is using the bolt gun is “ illegal and directly violates the Humane Slaughterhouse Act of 1958. Dr. Lester Friedlander, DVM and former Chief USDA Inspector and the Humane Farming Association Video (http://www.manesandtailsorganization.org/media.html and http://www.themodernreligion.com/misc/an/an_slaughter.htm ) both verify that the captive bolt gun causes extreme pain. In a study conducted at Hanover University, EEG and ECG recordings were taken on all animals to measure brain and heart conditions during course of slaughtering and stunning. Readings showed, that although the animals were apparently unconscious (equines not long though even with repeated stuns), … they were in severe pain immediately after stunning. Horses regain consciousness after approximately 30 seconds after captive bolt is applied. Due to inherent differences in skulls between bovines and equines, each species reacts to the captive bolt differently. Equine brains set back further than bovines… equines regain consciousness (even after repeated stuns) and are not insensed to pain (ie. are in severe pain) shortly after shackled and hoisted. Therefore, THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF BEING BUTCHERED ALIVE!”

****************

FACT 3: COSPONSORING SHOWS AMERICANS & FOREIGNERS CONGRESS WILL NOT TOLERATE CIRCUMVENTION OF OUR LAWS

BY COSPONSORING, you are telling hundreds of millions of American voters you officially support restoring the "WILL OF CONGRESS" and its Protective Horse Act already passed! Furthermore, you and your Commerce Committee endorse S.1915 or HR 503 to be passed (closing the loop hole) so foreigners, circumventing our U.S. Government by paying illegal blood money to the USDA, quit rubbing our noses in it! IT IS TIME AMERICANS and CONGRESS RESTORE "our rightful respect" and "our horse companions' honor!" Horses have done more for our culture than any other animal in America's history -- IT IS OUR AMERICAN LEGACY! Shameless abuse IS NOT! As each week passes, these horse killer plants sharply increase their production of our over 50,000 stolen young, healthy companion horses along with 10,000 imported ones. Every week that is delayed, 1500 more healthy baby colts and young horses will be butchered. This Monday, September 25, 2006 Dallas Crown resumes operations and has stepped up its killing schedule to slaughter 400 with an additional 400 on Thursday, September 28, 2006. Our horse companions will die horrible deaths unless immediate FEDERAL ACTION is taken to shut them down (Mayor of Kaufman, Texas, phone call)(http://www.timwoolleyracing.com/ ; http://www.marynash.org/; http://www.netposse.com/, http://www.hsus.org/). "As a nation, we treat terrorists with kid gloves but intentionally mistreat, abuse, and destroy a young, healthy, trusting, companion animal who never deserved this in the first place." TRUE? OR FALSE? IF INACTION RULES, THEN EVIL PREVAILS-- TRUE? OR FALSE?

FACT 4: UNTIL CONGRESS PASSES S.1915 or HR 503 AMERICA LOSES EFFECTIVENESS AS A NATION OF POWER & PRINCIPLES

"According to factory worker testimonies, when stolen horses come into their horse plants, they simply remove the RFID locator chips, destroy and toss them, so they don't contaminate the meat." Beltex knows and still pays stealers of our horse pets (http://www.marvwalker.com/ ; http://www.hsus.com/).

SENATOR Barack Obama of Illinois had this to say:
"Late last year, CONGRESS made it clear that it does not support the commercial sale of horsemeat abroad. During Senate consideration of the annual appropriations bill funding USDA operations, Senators John Ensign (veterinarian, R-NV), and Robert Byrd (D-WV) offered an amendment to prohibit the federally funding the USDA's food meat safety inspections at horse slaughterhouse plants in the United States, thereby effectively blocking export of horsemeat abroad. The amendment, which I voted for, passed the Senate
by a vote of 68 to 29 and was enacted into law."

"In response, however, the USDA recently announced it will continue performing inspections at horse slaughterhouses by charging the (FOREIGN-OWNED) Slaughter companies a fee-for-service beginning March 10, 2006.
I VIEW THIS INITIATIVE BY THE USDA ADMINISTRATION AS NOTHING MORE THAN A BRAZEN MANEUVER TO CIRCUMVENT THE CLEAR INTENT OF CONGRESS."

FACT 5: AMERICANS HAVE MEANS & PRIVATE FUNDS TO SAVE THESE HORSES AND CAN DO IT ONCE FEDERAL PROTECTIVE LAWS ARE ENFORCED!

WHO WILL ASSIST IN EFFORTS TO RELOCATE STOLEN HORSES TO THEIR OWNERS?

"THERE IS MAJOR CONCERN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE UNSLAUGHTERED HEALTHY, YOUNG HORSES." Of those saved, mathwise, you are looking at approximately 6,000 horses combined in one month from all 3 plants shut down. With over 500 organizations to assist, this is certainly a workable number for rescue operations to handle anywhere from 10 - 20 horses and baby colts per nonprofit group. Networking they can assist in "returning thousands of horses" to their "rightful owners" and those that are imported can be safely adopted. For those so badly abused and purposefully starved unable to recover, they will be humanely euthanized by a qualified veterinarian. Americans stand ready to privately sponsor and assist in this effort! Now it's our US Senate's turn to make this happen and get S. 1915 voted upon to be made law and close this loophole BEFORE the end session of the 109th Congress. Somehow, we doubt you want Foreign Governments and Americans to view the Senate as weak and ineffective! (http://www.hsus.org/; )

"WHY HAVEN'T SENATORS HEARD DIRECTLY FROM HORSE RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS? In accordance with NFP 501(c)(3)/s Federal Law, rescue organizations are prohibited from Lobbying. It's as simple as that! American citizens and voters have become the voices of all rescue organizations in our fifty states. Even Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and other nations are voicing with us and are appalled that this is happening to our national symbol of freedom right here in America." (http://www.timwoolleyracing.com/ ) (http://www.campaigningforbarbaro.com/)

FACT 6: THOSE EATING "TOXIC HORSEMEAT" WILL END UP SICK AND WE AMERICANS WILL ULTIMATELY PAY FOR IT IN HIGHER TAXES UNLESS WE CLOSE THE FEDERAL LOOPHOLE.

WHY IS HUMAN CONSUMPTION OF HORSEMEAT DANGEROUS AND KNOWN AS THE SILENT UNSPOKEN ISSUE IN HORSESLAUGHTER?

"Based upon concrete medical evidence, American horses are given an array of unregulated medications, hormones, and steroids. Here are some of the substances given and found in horses based on toxology tests and the FDA prohibition of these substance in animals "INTENDED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION." (National Horse Protection Coalition, and http://www.barntowire.com/ )

"Phenylbutazone ("Bute"); substance given to horses for pain managment but outlawed to be given to humans in the USA as it causes severe blood dyscrasias and aplastic anemia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia and death.
www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/03-4741.htm "For animals, phenylbutazone is currently approved only for oral and injectable use in dogs and horses. Use in horses is limited to NOT INTENDED FOR FOOD."

WHAT ABOUT ALL OF OUR STOLEN PET HORSES THAT END UP SLAUGHTERED & SENT OVERSEAS to the Europeon Union and Asia? They are being served tainted/toxic horsemeat!

USDA BLUE BOOK 2002: (www.barntowire.com/stophorseslaughter031227.html)

"Page 7 shows USDA DOES NOT TEST HORSES for the most commonly used medications in the equine community referencing Banamine, Phenylbutazone, and Clenbuterol (Beta 2 Agonist). Page 13 shows horses have the highest percentage rate of VIOLATION IN RELATION TO ANTIBIOTIC OVERAGES. Page 14 shows horses have the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF OVERAGES FOR AVERMECTINS. (www.fsis.usda.gov/ophs/blue2002/sec6tab.pdf) "

*DOES ANYONE SEE ALARM BELLS GOING OFF HERE?*

"The same lackadaisical response to unsafe, tainted horsemeat should cause ALARM BELLS TO go off in Europe and Asia. The same countries who are banning imported American BEEF should be banning American horsemeat. It would seem, though, that the concern for HUMAN SAFETY has been OVERCOME by GREED for MONEY. Represenative Gary Ackerman (D-NY) said,
"I blame it on greed, greed, greed! The greed of the Industry, the greed of the lobbyists, the greed of the members of Congress." In time, we will pay in higher taxes because of those becoming sick with cancers from eating tainted horsemeat.

*ANYONE WISH TO PROVE HIM WRONG?*

(Might want to check out http://www.beyonddelay.org/ and SEE WHO TOPS THE LIST OF CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON D.C.'s SENATE; It's all on file and recorded)
(TOP 5 Most Corrupt Members of Congress To WATCH. Why are we not surprised?) www.beyonddelay.org/summaries/frist.php

FACT 7: WHY TRANSPORTING SLAUGHTER -BOUND HORSES PUTS THE REST OF THE HORSE POPULATION AT RISK

"Transportation of slaughter-bound horses puts the health of the general horse population aat risk because a "Coggins" Certificate is required to transport a horse to slaughter. Therefore, horses with Equine Infectious Anemia can be transported and held near other horses risking the rapid spread of infection. The disease is carried by horseflies. There is no vaccine for this disease, once a horse contracts it and there is no recovery.

It should also be noted that the care being taken to avoid the feeding of "downed cattle" to ruminants DOES NOT CARRY OVER TO HORSES. The protein from animals suspected of bovine spongiform encephalopathy can be processed into feed and supplements given to horses. It should also be noted that protein derived from horses can then be used in feed processed for cattle. Please see pages 5, 9, 33 and 34 of this document from the US General Accounting Office: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02183.pdf .

Horsemeat is exported as a high-priced delicacy for human consumption. The Europeon Union has strict laws in place controlling the substances given to horses intended for slaughter. This has increased the cost of horsemeat to Europe, and the foreign-owned slaughterhouses are able to slip in "cheaply-purchased meat" and sell it for high prices because of an overlooked loophole in the import certificatons. This despite that the above listed substances commonly found in "ALMOST ALL HORSES" are labeled "NOT FOR USE IN HORSES INTENDED FOR FOOD." (Gail Vacca, National Horse Protection Coalition)."

FROM FANS OF BARBARO: ADDRESSING CATTLE vs. HORSES ISSUE
1063.1
I read in our paper that a lot of the Agriculture guys are against this bill because they're afraid that "we" will attack the cattle industry next.
While I feel like cattle certainly deserve a humane death, I do not think of cattle as my companion or friend. They are also listed as food animals. Horses are not.
Would it help to address this issue with the senators?


REPLY

To: Sue

1063.2 in reply to 1063.1
I have addressed this concern in my communications because I know it is a big concern. I say what you said, i.e., that unlike cattle and hogs, horses are NOT raised for slaughter, they are raised as companion animals. That makes sending them to slaughter a betrayal of trust. I also differentiate them from cattle by saying that unlike cattle, which are generally of uniform size, horses come in all different sizes, which makes a "humane" slaughter mechanism nearly impossible, particularly when you consider the length of a horse's neck. Simply put, that long neck makes it much less likely that the "shot" mechanism will work, because there is a much larger chance that it will miss its target.
I'm really sorry because that sounds horrible, but because it's a concern for the agriculture people, I've included that information to show the difference between animals that are raised strictly for slaughter, and horses.

From: CLE - Cattle shutes are not designed and never were meant for horses which have much longer necks as was the captive bolt gun. Ask yourselves this question:

Would any member of the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) or the AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) or the AHC (American Horse Council) "humanely euthanize" their own horse companions using a captive bolt gun?

Do believe NOT A SINGLE ONE COULD/WOULD SAY YES! And there lies the key problem and solution. Shut down the Horse killing houses never meant or designed for killing horses! (Saturday, September 23, 2006)

UDATE: Saturday, September 23, 2006

EXCERPT FROM FAN OF BARBARO IN MISSOURI who has trying new tactic as she does not have the support of her Senators:

Having said that I decided to take a different tact. I have just sent off emails to both on the Anti-Slaughter Bill, but using the 70% public support figure in conjunction with the 1.2 million current Barbaro fund figure, and the $11,000+ figure directly related to supporting Dr. Richardson, i.e. an individual truly caring about not just Barbaro but horses period.
Maybe we can wake up some of these politicians to the possibly funding opportunities within the masses....
Anyway, I don't know if it will work, but just another thought!
Go Everybody Go!!!
Roseann
Also, I just read that the recent Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation raised 500,000 in their fundraising efforts. For politicians to think their isn't support to stop this practice is just foolish.

GOAL: 50,000 plus signatures asking to get bill passed for horses
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/159614943?1t1=1158522429&ltl=1158881460 22,452 signatures for horses & rising
October 9, 2006 UPDATE: FROM WASHINGTON DC Mike O'Reilly
Stay motivated and focused guys: HR503 (Unamended) was reviewed by the Commerce Committee. No one is certain which bill Senator Frist will markup. Ideally it would be S. 1915. Keep getting your Senators to cosponsor S. 1915 and SUPPORT HR 503. If HR 503 is Marked Up meaning it is brought up in session by Majority Leader Frist, then it can be directly discussed on the Senate floor & voted. ONLY one horse bill needs to pass for President Bush to sign it. The senate is taking abbreviated recess Sept 30th thru Nov 12th and will reconvene the week of November 13th. They will know more after elections Nov 7th how many weeks the Senate will remain in session.

************************************

Meantime DO A PRAYER VIGIL THIS WEEKEND for 400 young horses scheduled to be slaughtered Monday Morning, now that Kaufman's plant is online again. Maybe their equipment will break down??? Continue CALLING, FAXING< style="color:#003333;">See "CHANGE in NEW LANGUAGE TO SENATORS" that Melissa just posted to new posts section.

*

POSTED HERE FOR YOUR INFO: September 22, 2006

We have learned that HR503 has been placed on the calendar by Sen. Frist; therefore, it will probably come up for a vote before S1915. Hopefully, when Congress returns from its pre-election recess in November.
Don't stop hitting the senate for co-sponsors and Sen. Frist; but, I suggest using the following language:
I am asking you to co-sponsor S.1915 “A bill to amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving , delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling , or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption and for other purposes” and urge for it be put on the calendar for markup. However, I am also asking you to support and urge for a vote on companion bill HR503 (Unamended), that contains the same language should HR503 come up for a vote prior to S.1915

We have a chance here folks. Let's continue fighting. Thought the point about some horse rescue operations being prohibited by law from advertising/lobbying is a good point. Don't waste your energy and efforts responding to opponents. That is just what they want you to do. They don't have a vote; so, don't worry about anything but drowning out their voices with our united one.

CRITICAL STEPS FOR ANTI-HORSE SLAUGHTER EFFORTS by September 29, 2006

1. CONTINUE WRITING ALL SENATORS short letters and FAX them along with HSUS’s Q’s & A’s on HR 503/S. 1915 readily copied off * thread messages 41-46 (1099.41 – 1099.46) in title Organizing The States For This Mission under Antislaughter Issues. Best to followup with a short phone call to their aides.

2. HAVE TO get the following Senators in the Committee of Commerce, Science, & Transportation to still Cosponsor: ^John McCain (AZ); Conrad Burns (MT); Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX); Gordon Smith (OR); George Allen (VA); John E. Sununu(NH); David Vitter (LA); John D. Rockefeller (WV); Byron Dorgan (ND); Mark Pryor (AR); E. Ben Nelson (NE); ^Bill Nelson (FL) ^JUST Cosponsored!

3. REMINDER: Must work on the following Senators coming up for re-election
^New York , Hilliary Clinton (D)* just added
Washington (state), Cantwell (I) vs. McGavick
Montana , Contrad Burns (I) vs. Tester
Missouri , Jim Talent (R-I), vs. Claire McCaskill (D)
Michigan , Debbie Stabenow (I) vs. Mike Bouchard (R)
Ohio , Mike DeWine (R-I) vs. Sherrod Brown (D)
Pennsylvania , Rick Santorum (R-I) vs. Bob Casey Jr. (D)
Connecticut , Joseph Lieberman (R-I) vs. Ned Lamont (D) vs. Alan Schlesinger (R)
Rhode Island , Lincoln Chafee (R-I) vs. Sheldon Whitehouse
^New Jersey , Robert Menendez (D-I) vs. Thomas Kean (R)
^NOW A COSPONSOR FOR S.1916

*

** BEST TO gently remind how cosponsoring the Horse Bills would greatly benefit their campaign and prevent privately owned killer horse auctions setting up private practices in their states; Let them know other senators are Cosponsoring right now.
