This is very powerful but a caution, there are very graphic photos. It is a must see, portraying the property rights that Wallis and those that want to bring back slaughter to our soil are fighting for.

Horse slaughter? Horsefeathers!
Horse slaughter? Horsefeathers!

When it comes to opposing the slaughter of horses, Le Ann Box can be as stubborn as a mule.“I consider myself a reasonable person and I’m amazed at what’s going on,” Box said.
Box is the secretary of Eagle’s Nest Draft Rehab and Sanctuary Inc. of Fayetteville. She is also a member of the Humane Society of the Ozarks. She does not consider herself a radical animal rights activist. She eats meat, she said, and her husband is an avid outdoorsman who loves to hunt.However, she is adamantly opposed to the resolution introduced by state Rep. Roy Ragland (R-Marshall) that urges the U.S. Congress to support horse processing plants. She even testified against horse slaughter at Ragland’s committee hearing.“It’s brutal, predatory and unacceptable,” Box said of the practice. “The industry perpetuates a market for irresponsible breeding. It gives an incentive for it.”Ragland has said he introduced the resolution on behalf of the Arkansas Horse Council. However, Box said its president, Betty Miller Jones of Kingston, did not speak for all horse owners in Arkansas.

According to Box, she wasn’t always so opposed to horse slaughter. She had been led to believe that the method of putting down horses was humane, and though she didn’t like the idea, she grudgingly went along it. She has since investigated the industry and has become convinced that it is not humane.“Knowing how it was done completely stole a piece of my soul,” Box said.In her testimony before Ragland, Box said she challenged him to produce reliable evidence that the horse slaughter industry was humane. He could not, she said.A lawyer, Box considered how Ragland’s lack of evidence would play in her profession.“I can’t go before a judge and say ‘This is the truth and I say so,’” Box said. One of the groups that Box cited in her campaign against horse slaughter is Veterinarians for Equine Welfare. While proponents of horse slaughter point out that the captive-bolt method for equine euthanasia is acceptable with the American Veterinary Medical Association, Veterinarians for Equine Welfare qualified that position.On its website, the organization said there is a “vast difference between efficient administration of the captive-bolt by a highly trained veterinarian with appropriate restraint of the horse's head and its improper use by low-skilled slaughterhouse employees without proper head restraint. Improper use of the captive-bolt during slaughter means that horses may often endure repeated blows with the device, and may be improperly stunned as they proceed through slaughter.”Box also referred to the Veterinarians’’ position that horses, unlike traditional food animals in the United States, are not raised or medicated during their lifetime with the intent of one day becoming human food.“Because no American horse is ever ‘intended’ for the human food chain,” the group said, “often times horses throughout their lives will have received medications that are banned for use ever during the life of food animals.”Box even questioned the number of truly hungry people that are fed because of the processing of horse meat for human consumption. She noted that horse meat is considered a delicacy in Europe and Japan, and sells for up to $20 a pound.According to Box, horses endure terror at a slaughter plant before they are even euthanized. She challenged people to ask anyone who trains horse for hunting if the animals don’t know what blood is.“The idea that horses don’t know what’s going on is ludicrous,” Box said. “Add the chaos of a slaughter house with its sounds and the smell of blood. It’s not a quick, clean kill.”Box and her husband are currently caring for eight horses on the nine acres owned by Eagle’s Nest. One of the horses, she said, is a direct daughter of Secretariat, a thoroughbred that won the Triple Crown of racing in 1973. The mare had gotten too old to breed and was headed for slaughter before she was rescued.

Saving Horses a passion for Brown
Saving Horses a Passion for Brown
BY ROBERT YATES
Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009
URL: http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Sports/252896/
HOT SPRINGS - Alex Brown likes to ride horses and write about horses, but is passionate about saving horses.
"I feel like I've got my PhD in this," Brown said of his effort to save horses from slaughter.
Brown, 43, is chronicling his daily f ight through his Web site, www. alexbrownracing.com, dedicated to the legacy of 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro by improving horse welfare, finding a cure for laminitis, a circulatory disorder of the foot, and ending slaughter.
Brown's journey has brought him to Oaklawn Park, where he gallops horses for trainer Steve Asmussen.
"Everything I'm doing is a consequence of following Barbaro," Brown said. "Previously, I had spent the best part of 20 years in racing completely oblivious to horse slaughter and really little regard to horse welfare in general."
Barbaro was euthanized in January 2007 after developing laminitis, which developed after the colt broke multiple bones in his right hind leg shortly after the start of Preakness in May 2006.
Brown became attached to the story while galloping horses at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland, where Barbaro was based much of his career.
An Internet marketing professor at the University of Delaware, Brown already was blogging on a site for local trainer Tim Woolley when Barbaro won the Kentucky Derby.
Two weeks later, the site unexpectedly became a mainstream news source.
"We built the traffic up to about 150 page views going into the Preakness," said Brown, a native of Manchester, England. "Then obviously, we know what happened in the Preakness. My initial reaction was to stop the project, because I wasn't going to exploit a very bad situation."
Brown said he was messing around on the site the following day and realized "everybody was Googling Barbaro and getting nothing."
Brown said after he broke a story concerning Barbaro's surgery, the site crashed after receiving 3,000 visits within an hour.
"Basically from then on, I just committed deliberately to providing updates if I could get them," Brown said. "That's how the project began."
Brown said he has a contract with Barbaro's owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, to write a book, Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and His Legacy.
Brown said three-quarters of the book - 150 pages of pure text - is already on the Internet.
"It's more to establish that Barbaro is great, and then talk about the good things that have occurred as a result of Barbaro, which would be horse slaughter, horse rescue, issues related to horse racing," Brown said.
A little over a year ago, Brown cut his roots and left Fair Hill (he had been based there for 20 years) to tour North America to get a better handle on those issues at a local level.
The easiest way to do that, Brown said, was to work for a trainer and move when the horses moved to another track.
Brown galloped horses at Penn National and Presque Isle in Pennsylvania and at Keeneland and Churchill Downs in Kentucky before going to work exclusively for Asmussen in November 2007 at Sam Houston Race Park in Texas.
Brown also galloped horses last year at Woodbine in Canada. Now he's at Oaklawn for the first time.
Although he's in Arkansas, Brown still runs his Web site, which, in the past two years, has raised more than $1 million to rescue approximately 2,700 horses from the horse slaughter pipeline.
Brown said the site has had almost a million messages posted.
One of the site's recent success stories is Clever Allemont, who won Oaklawn's Rebel and Southwest stakes in 1985 for trainer Lynn Whiting and owner Cal Partee of Magnolia.
Clever Allemont was discovered in a kill pen late last year in Kansas.
Roughly a half-hour after the story was posted on Brown's site, a forum reader donated funds to purchase Clever Allemont from the dealer who sells horses for slaughter.
Clever Allemont is now at Old Friends, a facility for retired thoroughbreds in Georgetown, Ky.
"If any horseman can argue to me that Clever Allemont should be slaughtered, I don't think so," Brown said. "The fact that slaughter is an option puts horses like that at risk. It was purely by chance that a horse rescue was going to that kill pen to go look for a palomino pony, and the kill buyer talked to that rescue and said, 'Look, I've got this old thoroughbred, I really don't want to send him to kill. Will you take it?'
"Even the kill buyer's compassionate enough to realize that horses shouldn't be slaughtered."
Slaughterhouses in Texas and Illinois have closed in recent years, but they are still prevalent in Canada and Mexico.
"The issue is quite complicated, and I think the pro-slaughter lobbies have done a good job convincing people slaughter is necessary," Brown said. "But as a horseman, I know it's not necessary and I certainly know it's not right."

Animal Welfare Institute Establishes Abandoned Horse Reward Fund
Abandoned Horse Reward Fund Announced!
ANIMAL WELFARE INSTITUTE ESTABLISHES ABANDONED HORSE REWARD FUND Washington, DC (January 29, 2009) – The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) announced today the establishment of the “Animal Welfare Institute Abandoned Horse Reward Fund.” Under the program, individuals providing information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone who abandons a horse in violation of state law will be rewarded with up to $1,000 by AWI. “We’ve heard time and time again from those defending horse slaughter that the fight to end this cruel practice has led to an increase in abandoned horses. The truth is that the number of American horses going to slaughter now is the same or higher as before the domestic plants closed under state law. In fact, killer buyers seem to be buying more horses than when the plants were open,” said Chris Heyde, AWI’s Deputy Director of Government and Legal Affairs. Under the program, individuals with evidence should first contact their local police department, provide as many details as possible about the horse abandonment situation and let the department know about the Animal Welfare Institute Abandoned Horse Reward Fund. In such cases, eligibility for rewards and specific reward amounts will be determined by AWI. For complete terms and conditions of this reward fund, please go to www.awionline.org.“If horses are being neglected or abandoned and the law is being violated, individuals need to be held accountable. Caring for a horse or any animal is a lifelong responsibility and not something you toss aside when inconvenient. We hope our reward fund will assist in bringing criminals to justice,” said Chris Heyde.The Animal Welfare Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to pass a federal law to end horse slaughter. While the few remaining horse slaughter plants operating in the US were shut down in 2007 under state law, the absence of a federal law means that American horses are still at risk of being slaughtered for human consumption, and more than 100,000 horses were exported to Mexico and Canada in 2008 for that purpose. In Canada, horses are often shot to death while in Mexico some plants still use the “puntilla” knife to stab the horse into a state of paralysis prior to being slaughtered while still fully conscious. The meat is then sold to high-end consumers in Europe and Asia. Congress is currently considering the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503), which will protect American horses from this brutal trade.For further information contact:Chris Heyde, 202-446-2142Liz Ross, 202-497-6780For over 58 years, AWI has been the leading voice for animals across the country and on Capitol Hill.
