Re: [RC] Congressional Horse Caucus--Agenda Siezed by PETA - Chris PausUgh.....
I was the lead reporter in a horrendous story here about a pony rescue. 260 hackney ponies on 40 barren acres. 110 of the ponies were stallions. no food, no potable water, it was a concentration camp for ponies. I couldn't sleep for nights after going in with teh people who started the rescue efforts.
Then a "no slaughter" supposed animal rights organization took over the rescue. got a district judge to wrangle away the care of the animals from real veterinarians, K-State vet students, farriers and other people who really knew what they were doing, and put the animals in the care of a Peta ally, HorseAid.
What happened from there was an abomination. Basically, horseaid left Kansas about $30,000 richer, dumped the animals on two HA volunteers, who inturn adopted them out to anyone with a driver's license and $100. Not surprising, for years afterwards, i was getting calls at the newspaper about the ponies being in worse homes than the one they left, being at auction barns, etc. I saw some of them myself at an auction barn.
I have no time for people like that.
Is anyone aware of PETA' s true agenda? to end ownership of all animals? They'd rather we turn all horses loose to fend for themselves than to give them care and a job.
sigh..... this is worse than awful.
