Editorial Comments


January 2011

I have only recently updated this editorial. For years I have been concerned about horse slaughter in the US and what we should do about it. I have fought to eliminate it, to stop horses goin beyond our borders to be slaughtered in Mexico and Canada. For years along with many other rescue and humane societies we have tried to get legislation enacted to stop the slaughter and transport of horses for slaughter to Mexico and Canada. There has always been oponents to stoping slaughter, citing it as a cheap way to get rid of unwanted horses, it became evern worse as the economy worsened.

The economy, and cheap slaughter should not be a reason for horses to be slaughter for human consumption in overseas markets. If you read my homepage you will see solutions to all the arguments and to the solution of unwanted horses.

It is time for the equine industry to support these solutions. With a little patience and time, all these solutions along with the immediate solutions can work. Horses will not be slaughter under horrendous conditions for human consumption.

If you are an animal lover, especially horse lover you will support these solutions. Pass on the information to friends, to legislators, etc. With your help, we can make it happen.

Thanks,
Henry Patton

I am displaying this image on my site to remind us of all the scary things that happens to animals everyday... horse slaughter, dogs and cats destroyed daily, wolves shot down for sport, deer slaughter, bears confined in small cages, wolves poisoned, abuse, pets left to starve and more and more. It is a scary world out there for all our animal friends.
