Poem Artwork

 

Since the beginning of time, we have
used them, for transportation, recreation
and so much more. No animal has given
more than the beautiful horse.
And when the pioneers built this great land,
They willing pulled the plow, working
in harmony with Man.
When our great country went through turmoil and
fought in many wars, the horse often died
 or wore scars.
This beautiful animal has given us so much. But now
that modern technology is here, some would like them
to just disappear.
The state of Montana says “it’s for their own good,
the herds must be thinned and some of them killed.”
After all they’ve done for our land; to think of them
being slaughtered by Man’s greedy will.
This isn’t humane, the thing that they do. They sell
their flesh for meat, and don’t care what
they hurt or who.
Than again, though they won’t admit why the
animal must suffer this fate; the almighty
dollar is at the end of this race.

Mary, it is a good thing for us that these same people of influence are not Cannibals, isn't it? -- or we too would be on the slaughter house list -- this is a terrible shame and an absolute crime -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

Thanks for sharing this... being a horse lover, I am deeply saddened
by these acts of cruelty. The horse is most magnificent and beautiful animal
known to mankind... how wrong this is!! to any living being...

MARY - THANK YOU - for expressing so eloquently the plight of HORSES!

When any government does not even care, or take care of its Patriotic VETERANS -
and treats them like discarded Cannon Fodder - what, Pray Tell, could we expect
them to do for poor innocent Animals?

Administration after Administration, Congress after Congress, Governor after Governor, Mayor after Mayor - ALL LYING CORRUPT POLITICIANS!

GOD BLESS AMERICA ? SURE !!! Peace ... Tom.

Many of us worked very hard to get the three foreign-owned horse slaughterhouses shut down in America - and little good it did - now, our American horses are being dragged across our borders to Mexico and Canada - where they are still being slaughtered for dinner tables in Europe and Asia.

Such a terrible shame that most Americans won't even stand up for them, and advocate the end of this savagery.

Those beautiful horses! Seems that nothing and no one is allowed to be wild and free where there's a profit to be made. Thank you, Mary. This needs to be told. Great write!

It's really depressing Mary. Animal SANCTUARIES? Chamlong Sirimuang of Thailand did it for the stray dogs of Bangkok.
