Is a very famous little girl over in Europe. Apparently people do read facebook. I had about 7 people come up to me this weekend and ask how she was doing, and I had to tell her story.
Which was great, I was able to educate a few people on horse slaughter etc.

Give us the back story-you have Sunday on your facebook page and people you know/encounter through work read about her? Very cool!
also would be interested to know their response-regarding horses slaughtered mostly end up IN Europe-my understanding-marketed as "wild and untainted"

How cool is that? You go on a trip and get to catch up on horses at home  Tell them all that Sunday2 / Punkin says "HI" She is feeling so much better... finally has a twinkle in her eyes. |

Wildwoman, I posted some pictures of Sunday on Facebook while she was at my house, and posting to Mickeyfan, frr2, and mustangappy, about her rescue and how she was doing, I guess some of my friends over here were following up on it.
A lot of people are aware of horse slaughter, but there are still a lot that still think it's only the old and sick ones that get slaughtered, they are very appalled by it, and said it was so cool that there are people like us around that try to help. I think it's mostly the "older" generation that doesn't care, or thinks it's normal. Everybody I talked to definitely thinks it's barberic. Again, I don't think they have quite the education about the whole process.
It was fortunate that the site did have internet this time, it's not always a given. But I was able to sneak on once.

I think they ought to market the horse meat in markets and restaurants in the following fashion:
"This hot young TB mare was all around champion and slaughtered at her prime!!!!"
"Hey may have been 18 years old but to look at him you'd think he was 10. Tastes great!"
I know, morbid......sorry. But that's probably what it would take to get the word out that there is nothing wrong with most of the horses that are slaughtered. And why should the ones who DO have something wrong be any less worthy of a peaceful end?

I got a few new pics. amazing what actually 'feeding' a horse will do. I swear we used no special 'potions' this was just plain food. made into soup so she can eat it.    |
