How does one put into words the total disgust, outrage, anger, frustration and incredulous disbelief one experiences when faced with the outright complacent attitudes and inactivity of government officials which our tax dollars provide affluent lifestyles for…while all our shouts of protest and calls for positive action are totally ignored. Well one cannot put into one word the emotions as described above.
While U.S. advocates continue to battle to Save America’s Horses, while the U.S. government fails to honor the Legal Bill passed so long ago to protect designated lands provided for wild horses and burros within the States….the special interest groups continue to fill the political coffers in their unending campaign to ensure that the Bureau of Land Management continues brutal roundups, the capture of an Historical Icon and ship these terrified, injured and magnificent horses thousands of miles to end their lives in the most horrific manner imaginable.
While all this is going on in the United Sates, Canadian wild horses are facing the same prejudice, the same round ups and the same horrors in slaughterhouses within Canada. It is bad enough that Canada enables the U.S. slaughter by importing U.S. horses into this country….to know that our own horses face these very same horrors is mind blowing.

Richard Moylan, a thoroughbred stallion breeder based out of Orangeville, felt “shocked and disgusted” when he read in the Sun that funding to the horse racing industry is coming to an end. He’s seen here with a foal born Friday.
Horse breeders have been brought to tears at the news that the end of the racetrack slots-revenue sharing program is going to result in the death of hundreds of horses.
“This just kills me,” said horse breeder Richard Moylan. “It is simply unbelievable, I’ve never had anything happen like this.”

Canadians: Act Now to Ban Horse Slaughter! |
As a follow-up to the 36 Hours to Hell posting (http://canadianhorsedefencecoalition.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/36-hours-to-hell/)
PETA is asking Canadians to act to get horse slaughter banned.

Also, Jillian Michaels adopted a Thoroughbred who appeared in the video. This Thoroughbred was on his way to slaughter.

We must close this predatory industry. Hopefully, we are one step closer. Viande Richelieu, the company that operates two of Canada’s four equine slaughterhouses, appears to be backing away from accepting Thoroughbreds for slaughter after their unusual move of returning slaughter-bound former racehorses Canuki and Cactus Cafe.
The two Thoroughbreds left Beulah Park’s barn area May 1 after their owner, Barbara Price, allegedly sold them to trainer Mark Wedig. Ohio stewards investigating the horses’ whereabouts ruled Price off for a year and fined her $1,000 for impeding the investigation and providing false information. About three weeks later, Wedig presented Canuki and Cactus Cafe to West Virginia state veterinarian John Day in connection with Mountaineer Park officials’ inquiry into the horses’ whereabouts.
According to a May 24 e-mail from Richlieu administrative technician Geneve Ethier to Mindy Lovell, a Canadian farm owner whom Ohio stewards authorized to contact Richelieu on their behalf, the Canuki and Cactus Cafe case “did occur major problems to us and a lot of time, efforts, and money consuming. So to avoid that in the future, the plant advises all his suppliers to not BUY those thoroughbred[s] and overall not have them ship to us. . . . For us, thoroughbred[s] are definitely banned from our premises.”
