From the desk of Calamity Cate
Howdy Amigos, have you noticed there are
more and more articles in print and online
from major sources reporting about the
plight of our wild horses and horse slaughter
for human consumption issue? Well, there
are. And it only goes to prove that rounding
up the wild ones and slaughtering both wilds
and domestic horses for meat is unacceptable
here in the United States and some foreign
countries. Know why?
Because it is deplorable!
This issue of tCmag is chock full of great horses and the people they love
doing the things they love to do to promote horses, the welfare and protection
of horses and the love of the mighty animal.
The equine slaughter issue in the United States was laid to rest, once
again. And slaughter houses, once again, have been unable to open due to
USDA defunding to inspect the plants for health, humane and safety regulations. You do know there is nothing humane about slaughter? But I’ve heard
rumors that this stay of execution is only for ONE YEAR! We need to stay
on top of this issue as it will go underground and we will loose! Our horses
will loose!
I can’t think of a better time than NOW to get involved and make your
voice heard for our horses. Stay in touch with us, Subscribe, like us on Facebook and LinkedIn at Cate Crismani and trueCOWBOYmagazine. Tweet me

My gratitude to all the good folks fighting the good fight everyday, not just
for our horses, who are the target, but for all animals and against the ones are
animals thought they could trust...their breeders, trainers and owners!
Besos
