I am hoping that we can all circulate the pictures and educate people.  There is no way we are ever going to save them all, not enough space or funds and it is horrible leaving them there knowing they are going to die.  When I took the picture of the mare with the sad eyes I knew that her image would haunt me forever.  I had the hardest time walking away but if everyone shares her picture with someone educating them about what happens then she won't die in vain.  You want to save them not leave them there and with education we can do that.  I stayed to get those pictures for everyone out there to circulate and to help educate about auctions, slaughter and the truth.  Let's face it most people still think that the horses go for dog food and don't realize that this happens that the slaughter houses are foreign owned, people need educated on this subject to make a difference a real difference.

 

The problem is that people don't want to see it - don't want to hear about it.  It is emotionally disturbing and you feel helpless - not a good feeling so people simply avoid it.  Everyone here can become involved in rescue in several ways that only cost a moment of your time; forward the link to this page and of the pictures, ask people to join the yahoo group, contact your local radio station or newspaper and ask them to do an article, play our public service announcement or cover an event we are holding. 

If anyone is interested in attending your local auctions I can personally attest that saving one from slaughter is an incredibly rewarding experience.  

 

 

The above horses were purchased for slaughter the one that sticks out in the crowd the cremello gelding was led through his left eye removed and sewn shut due to unknown reasons that no longer matter... shoes removed they will be slaughtered in Canada.  I wanted you to see what I see this is why I take these pictures not to make you sad but so that we can tell others and educate the public about what happens.  This is what keeps me going and keeps me fighting for them.  Just take one look at her face and in her eyes....  then you will feel what I feel and know why we fight so hard for them.  Remember without U there is no RescUe - they need U.
