Looks like they're trying to place "nice" or maybe they figured out they weren't getting the exposure to the potential adopters they needed.

It's not all the way back up. They don't want you to look at CBER adopted horses...says I am banned from there and I am not even a member...LOL
Wonder why they don't want people to look at the adopted horse section...interesting.

I just went there and the home page is different with a different statement about what happens to the horses that are not adopted in "a reasonable amount of time". That changed some time in the last hour.
I can get in to the adopted horse page.

That changed some time in the last hour. Funny, I noticed that also. Are they really thinking that a change of wording is going to change anything?   I certainly didn't expect to see on the website that "horses not adopted after a certain length of time will be returned to the feedlot", which is exactly what Sam has not only done, but put in writing as well. |

So these horses get donations to save them from being sent on the truck...someone donates the money for QT, boarding, ect. All of this money goes into CBERs (Sams) pockets if there is no adopter....then they are put down or sent back to lot if they don't get adopted within the time that Sam alots.

It actually says that horses that are not adopted in a reasonable amount of time are humanely put down rather than returned to the lot.

It's a known fact that Sam does sell un-adopted horses to other kill buyers or returns them to the lot. Also, many of us have seen an email she sent out in which she states that if homes are not found in a certain amount of time, the horses will be returned to the feedlot. |

I wonder if that Statement will keep people from donating? I mean, yeah, humanely put down is definitely better than being sent to slaughter, but what does that say about a rescue if they won't stick with the horses they rescued, and put them down?
And what is a reasonable amount of time? Right now there is no reasonable amount of time, not with the way the economy is going....

What ever happened to CBER's policy of not pulling horses from the lot unless the funds were paid in full and the horse had a home? If CBER actually stuck with that policy, they wouldn't find themselves with extra horses except under extreme circumstances where the adopter couldn't take the horse. Even then, back up home offers are usually in place. Besides, do any of us really believe the horses will be "humanely put down"? They can put all the fictitious statements they want on their website but it doesn't mean they actually adhere to it. I actually used to believe that...sigh... |

I think when SOS starting pulling horses & actually keeping them for months before finding them homes..it made CBER look bad..so Sam had to act like she was doing the same when in fact she was not. |

On what is now Kirstens board ( the used to be CBER board) there is someone posting as "equinemom". Many boards ago, this was my cber monicker on the BB. I just want everyone to know that this current poster is NOT me. If I am on a BB I use the name I have now as it was a nickname co-workers gave me when I was saving dogs as a foster. ( In other words Halfway house or "halfwayhome" to a forever home) I like that, so I use it now.

Before we realized that things just weren't going to change no matter how much we wanted them to & left, we were all in favor of NOT rescuing any new horses until the ones currently safe were placed. Of course that meant the gravy train would dry up I guess. |

No, I will not try to sign up. There is no point. You cannot reason with the people there and I do not want to see the faces of the horses who are unfortunate enough to have landed into the hands of Columbia Basin Equine Rescue.
You know, I am going to start using their whole name so when someone Googles it, they can find out all the info they want.

well i will confess i did...just cause i wanted to see (read) what was being said.. I also tried, just to keep up on what's happening. I have been a member for 3 yrs now and have never cross posted or said anything against anyone in 3 yrs We used to donate money, but stopped when Sam screwed us over, but again never said anything on the board or publicly. I was denied access. Guess I'm not rich enough to belong! |

I did not register for an account, but Sally did (not as "tireddog"). She was denied. We have been members since 2005. It is for the best.
MTA: Although I just thought of something interesting ... We have supported CBER through thick and thin. We have not contacted people through e-mail or via telephone, saying anything negative about CBER since our recent awareness and acknowledgment of past/current CBER wrongdoings. But we have recently heard again and again that the new crew, BOD, volunteers - all now involved - are changing things and hope for a new CBER. Our written/voiced disapproval - on this board and the former CBER board only - have noted our disappointment with and disapproval of Sam's choices. So why would we be banned from joining the new CBER board were it not at Sam's recommendation? Why would the new crew reject us? Hmmm?

I killed my accounts on a number of BBs yesterday.
I'm still trying to remember where else I have an account or accounts.
I may go back latter, who knows & who cares anyway.
I am really sick of the run around!
There are so many great people/horses that need help right now.
However there are so many jerks out there & I just don't have the patience for it at the moment.
I think I'll just shut up now.

Maverick~Zora, There are some who seem to be for us but are really against us but hang in there and try not to get discouraged. As long as there is life there is hope. It helps me to remember that many are fighting to end horse slaughter. Check out the Americans Against Horse Slaughter blogs set up to help get the latest info on what is happening in Congress to get the laws passed to stop it. I will give you the link to the WA and WY state groups of AAHS. washington1-aahsbloggingupdates.blogspot.com and wyoming-aahsbloggingupdates.blogspot.com. I hope everyone here will watch one of those blogs to see what to do to help get the laws passed once and for all! May 2009 be the year we remember that American horses were no longer slaughtered for human consumption. |

Well, never got approved, and now is disabled, all the money I donated, never badmouthed them, and I'm denied. I guess if you don't donate, you're disposable. Really kinda pissed me off!
At least I got 3 wonderful horses out of it.

And you got us, and we got you. ;D It's all worth it to me (that is being here and being denied by them - not being around during the disgraceful, corrupt, fraudulent behavior of the CBER leader).
