Horse Slaughter Is Flourishing

Horse Slaughter Is Flourishing

It is illegal to kill horses in many parts of the USA for their meat but horse slaughter is flourishing. What on earth to do with race horses who can no longer win? And all those unwanted, abandonned and no longer useful – but still profitable horses?  Well for heaven’s sake – just send them to Canada and Mexico – who happily throw open their borders to truck loads of terrfiied horses. That’s where to make some money. The animals are shipped in brutal conditions and killed with no compassion. Sound familiar?

Polar Bear Writes The Government

Endangered Polar Bears

Dear Government of Canada – I am a polar bear living in Canada’s north! Why don’t you call me Poley? It’s much harder to forage and hunt now that the ice is melting but we do our best. I have a bunch of bear friends – there are about 16,000 of us left. You allow 600 of us to be killed every year. I’ve lost some really good friends and family members over the years. I’m really not very good at math but I think we will all be dead in 25 years. Does anyone care but us?
