Not sure why but this addy doesn't seem to work and I couldn't delete the post...SORRY!

Chats,
I just saw this and tried it. It wouldn't go through for either.
Sorry!

I said it didn't work, not sure why! I typed is as I got it. I tried to delete it but couldn't. SORRY!!!

I know you said it didn't work. But, like a kid, I had to go and try it. Don't you find yourself wanting to do, what you're told
cannot be done?

Try this?

Mustang,
I saw a TV special about horses and how some actress had purchased land and was using that acreage as a sanctuary for
wild horses. Yes; the person who started that "glue factory"
thing ought to be glued to a wall somewhere and left there forever.

Jabber, our own government that once vowed to protect wild horses now wants to kill them. Generations ago these horses traveled and carried explorers, pulled wagons, fought battles, won and lost races, worked the land, carried children (our eternal ancestors), etc. There is over breeding, abuse, slaughtered race horses that no longer win, PMU foals, etc. I could go on and on . . .

Yet, there are rescue organizations and foundations, I think the below link may be that which you reference above:

Mustang,
That could be it. I can't remember where they were reporting from, or the name of the person who bought the land and turned it into a sanctuary. I do recall it involved thousands of acres; and remember thinking what a worthwhile project she had undertaken.

If I ever win the lottery, that's what I'd like to do with the
money: 1) Build an animal sanctuary for abused critters. 2)
Start a halfway house for unmarried women and their babies!
Wow, how cool that would be!

Holy Hannah! What do you think happened to all those polo ponies?
That's a lot of horse flesh to drop over in an instant. Geese.
Talk about sad!

I don't know if they've figured it out yet, but they will. That was an incredibly sad news story.

Here's a link about it:

21 Horses: That's a lot of horses. There are huge horse farms in this part of the State. They even have horse 'n carriage races down Main Street in the summer. I can't believe such a horrible thing happened! Security? Where's security? That's the first thing
I said when 9/11 happened. Where da heck is our national security?

I heard on the news last night, the pharmacy made a mistake
with the medication. Now isn't that real sweet?

This is incredibly sad...I saw on the Jane Valez show tonight where they'd found a whole bunch of horses in a big 18 wheeler and if they had not rescued them they would have given birth to their fouls (is that the right term?) in the slaughter house. The horses look horribly thin and sick. Then they talked about how they kill the horses and I had to switch to something else...could not listen to it.

The term is foals for baby horses. It's always heartbreaking to read stories of animal abuse and neglect, isn't it?

Dee,
That's heartbreaking! I didn't hear that story. Just as well.
There is a young man trying to get clearance to put a slaughter
house here in the city. That whole process makes me wanna eat
lettuce!

Yes, its awful - I imagine a lawsuit will follow for this horrible pharmaceutical mistake - the cause of death was selenium poisening (overdosed).

Did you see the world news last night, where that Vick's fighting pitbulls were in wonderful homes? That was heartwarming!

I did see this. It was very uplifting. I was so grateful!

Me too, jawjaw. It's so nice to see happy endings!

You gals see those horses collide prior to The Kentucky Derby? Holy Hannah what a accident: That sent chills up 'n down my spine.

That horse that won The Derby was a little speedster!
