This past week a very graphic video was shown by The Humane Society of the United States of horses on their way to the slaughter house. LINK . It is big business for some who export the meat to countries that eat horse meat. For some it's just a place to send unwanted horses.

Educate yourself by reading some of the articles about horse slaughter and what is being done to bring an end to this horrific act. You too can help by being informed, writing your Congressman and other State Officials and asking them to support the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S.311/HR.503). This legislation will end the slaughter of American horses here and their export for slaughter abroad.

How did this little Pitbull girl feel when she was given a home? She must have been so happy to have been rescued maybe she was a stray, maybe she got adopted from Animal Control, maybe she came from a back yard breeder? She must have been special she was micro chipped. I imagine her wagging her happy little tail because she had been offered a home, they bought her Pedigree there was an empty bag of it in the house. Was she happy because someone threw a ball for her?

They also bought her a chain and tied her in the back yard under the patio. There was a few weeks of feces surrounding her and her chain. Did she wonder then if she was as lucky as she first thought herself to be? She wagged her tail with happiness she had been adopted and given her very own home. She would be patient and be a good girl maybe just maybe they would let her back in the house. They cared enough to buy her a crate. Maybe they were crate training her in hopes of letting her back in the house when she was potty trained.
