One American horse is slaughtered every 5 minutes. They have given themselves to their humans, all they could give, and now they stand in a scary kill buyers pen...no longer wanted. They are not old and sickly. Recently I have seen a young boys horse, his parents brought it to auction and the boy had to ride her at the auction. No one wanted her, the kill buyers got her....his parents drove him home. The look in her eyes said "where is my boy", frantically. A pair of white mares that were used to pull a carriage in weddings, now discarded in the kill pen, 2 year olds who haven't even had a chance yet. Pregnant mares. 7 month old babies. Miniatures, drafts, gaited, warmbloods, donkeys, mules, paints, Morgans, QH, stallions, no one is safe.
I saw this horse a few days ago....she got stuck in my heart for some reason. I couldn't get her out of my mind, I cried for her every day. Today I bailed her out 2 hours before her deadline....the deadline to take a terrifying journey on an overstuffed trailer to Mexico. To be slaughtered....for Christmas.
Here she is, what a beauty. It says in her description that she is scared. She must have something special planned for me or one of the many children who come here to spend time with all my rescued horses, dogs and chickens.
She is safe now, but she does not have a home. I will give her a forever home but I can not afford to pay to get her here after paying to bail her out.
I only have 24 hours to raise the money...$760. If lots of people could give a little then she can have a home for Christmas. She will come Thursday. Maybe you could contribute your time to help get an area set up here for her quarantine.
I have set up a Chip-in. You will see it on this blog. Please help if you can and share this post. If I can not raise enough to get her here I will promptly refund and monies donated.
Merry Christmas

ReplyDeleteJust found out someone had bailed her out moments before I did! They just figured it out now....they are volunteers and have been frantically trying to save the last horses all night. Thank you soooooo much for sharing and caring. I am very happy this horse will be home for Christmas. This just means there may be a spot here for someone else in jeopardy some day. I was really touched to have such great friends to care enough to help right before Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, Michelle
ReplyDeleteI will now figure out how to send all your payments back to you.

ReplyDeleteI was asked on the adoption papers to give her a name....Scout and I chose Yuki.....it means lucky snow.
Thank you all again, Mery Christmas
