Horse Slaughter – A small sign of hope?

10978683_793900484026743_5920463006577557269_nThis is an actual bid card from the New Holland Auction in Pennsylvania on Monday.  As you can see, prices are still very high.  The prices that killbuyers pay for horses is determined by the age & condition of the horse, and also the availability of horses (Supply and Demand).

The good news is prices are high.

Could this mean that the number of horses entering in the slaughter pipeline is decreasing?  It has been noted that the number of horses running through the auction each week has decreased from over 200 to less than 100.  Could our message of Education and Microchipping be working?  I like to think so!

PLUS – the European Union shut down several slaughter plants in Mexico so I would have expected horse prices to fall.  It seems the exact opposite is happening.

I have been to New Holland in January for several years (2010-2015).  In the past, the number of horses was between 100-200, and the prices were low – average $300-$500 per horse.

The bad news is prices are higher so our job as rescuers is HARDER.

Our volunteers at the Equine Rescue Network need to work harder.  Raising money, finding homes is a daily challenge – but failure is not an option!  Horses lives count on us to continue the battle….A little hope can fuel our fire.

    If chosen thhgtous create our realities and we choose which thought to listen to, then those 17 killed and their killers somehow interacted to create the actions that led to them leaving the physical relm. I would assume there were other thhgtous that could have taken them another place or time that they did not listen to. From our point of view, in the reality we create, we see them, are impacted, feel the pain and must, maybe by a big deep breath and the gratitude that follow forgive them, and go on in this world. From their wounded emotional anatomy, they chose the series of thhgtous and decisions that created the nightmare that finally killed them. The playing field they were on was removed from the bigger field of play on which we all exist. Maybe the gratiude and the forgivness that this pain taps can help others create a reality through choices that won’t include them in similar events. Maybe useful in the language would be to listen to the whispers before they become screams and shouts . Please note that in the above there is no thought of right, wrong, good or bad just thhgtous chosen from wounded perspectives on both sides. So in summary, you don’t have to give it up it’s already changed the world of many and continues to grow daily KEEP THE FAITH RIGGS even without speaking and writing the world around you is being modified by what you think.
